    I have:

    Taken the kids to the cinema, went to the kids club at Odeon to see Bee Movie, and got 5 premier seats for £7.50, bought drinks and sweets from Tesco so that came to £2.85 and went on the train using fam rail card which cost £5.80. Was really money saving/tight and sent mum on the bus as she gets it free :rotfl:.

    Bought tickets to see Water Horse at Odeon kids club for saturday, so will do above again. Premier seats are the same price as normal seats for kids club - £2.50 and adults go free :T

    Was given a free paper in town.

    Checked for mystery shops, none as usual :confused:

    Checked online banking.

    Paid some bills.

    Checked Boots machine, no good offers.

    Checked ebay sales, doing good :T but must try and list something....

    And I will:

    [STRIKE] Do piggy clicks

    Complete a survey.[/STRIKE] Cant get lightspeed survey to load grr :mad:

    Evening all,

    My dfw things for today:
    • Boots 1 – used £2 till cosmetic voucher on a Bourjois sharpener = free
    • Boots 2 – printed off a 75 points on a £10 spend voucher (as Boots 3 never have those voucher for me to print)
    • Boots 3 – got 3 x pks Roc face wipes, Boots foot powder (for DH who will give me cash), 2 x Boots smile kids toothbrushes (used dble points coupon which wouldn’t work but kind SA got points manually added for me, 10% off voucher, 3 x £5 off ROC vouchers). Didn’t spend any money but wish I hadn’t wasted my 10% off coupon and brought more stuff as my total was under £14. I had miscalculated.
    • I got another till spit so just got another free Bourjois sharpener to use up the voucher.
    • I also spent £20 of my points on 4 items reduced to £5 each, last reduced price was £12.50 each on Sunday. I should be able to sell them on Ebay and make the £20 back as well as £20 profit.
    • Asda- got Asda Danish bread 39p, 6 x barn eggs reduced to 49p and 2 x 200g extra special beef mince reduced to 70p each
    • Found 3p
    • Washing done at 30deg quick wash and drying indoors
    • Received something to trial for 14 days in mail. Eventually I will complete survey about trial for £4 Boots vouchers
    Still not done any piggy clicks this week. :o
    Tesco points: 101 (£21.50, £19.50, £7.50, £21 & £5)
    Boots points: £0.28
    Pigsback points: 715 (4 xBoots£10 & 1 xPizzaHut£10, 2 x £10 clothing vouchers)
