£9 free shopping!

Went to Home Bargains [HB] this evening to get some essentials as my stockpile of basics was mostly used up before the house move [beginning of Nov 09], and had two pairs of pjs I had bought as xmas pressies but decided I didn't need them in the end to take back.  I wasn't sure if they'd take them as I had no receipt but the did and they were £4.50 each thus £9 free shopping happy days!

Also counted up my change pot [started Nov 09 after the move] and we had 22 pounds in there so I will cash that in tomorrow, along with a cheque for £5 for two pairs of earrings sold this month.  So in total £36 more to add to the savings fund.

I also have 20 euros lying about upstairs, from our holiday to France earlier this year, that I am going to take to the bank to see if they will let me deposit these or exchnage them for me [I'll post an update on this tomorrow].
