    I went for the free, disgusting coffee from the vending machine at work instead of the regular columbian ground caffiene hit from the canteen at 50p a cup, also didn't eat up there, saving at leat £2. A plan that could net £40 a month at least..
    Was in debt £23k- Not now (12/07-12/10):T
    Did smoke- Not any more (26-02-11):j
    I am not perfect but everyone loves a trier don't they??:A

    Hi all!

    Thanks for the sympathy yesterday, and sorry again for using the thread to get rid of my rant...after a good night's sleep, I'm feeling much brighter today! :rolleyes:

    Today, I have...

    ~ done piggyclicks and checked for lightspeed surveys.
    ~ got 25 juicy brains points - finally enough for my first £5 Amazon voucher. The bad news is its not showing in my account yet, however I will chase it if necessary - juicy brains points are so few and far between that I'm not letting these get away...I've been waiting for about 5 months for these last 25 points!! :p
    ~ took lunch to work, and dinner is from the storecupboard/freezer.
    ~ Freebies: had a lovely chocolate whilst I was browsing in Hotel Chocolat at lunchtime (yummy samples!:T) and got a free sample of dried catfood through the post that I don't even remember sending off for - but Piglet-puss is chomping through it with delight, so its all good! :D
    ~ Took delivery of new car stereo today (courtesy of insurance company) - much nicer than the one that was stolen...still waiting to hear how much we will have to pay, but the stereo is very nice, so thats something!! ;)

    Hope everyone else has had a good day, too.

    Ever wonder about those people who spend £2 apiece on those little bottles of Evian water? Try spelling Evian backward.

    I also went to Tesco this afternoon and got 5 packs of sausages reduced for the freezer. Managed to use a £1.50 clubcard voucher that I found - naughty. Got a till spit for 1000 extra clubcard points when spending £50 on tesco direct which is handy as I have a purchase coming up shortly and can buy there :)

    Also put another 10p of change in my sealed pot.
