Recently, I have felt as if every penny I have spare has rolled out of my hand in to the tight fist of some multi-national millionaire! Today, some came back my way. Firstly, I had £10 of Tesco clubcard vouchers, which I exchanged for £30 of Cafe Rouge vouchers and Dearly Beloved and I shall treat ourselves to lunch out in the half term break. It will be our first dining out experience in over a year.
Next, I sent a complaint email to Quidco, that I had used their cash back service and I hadn't received any money. I had a return email the next day, with an apology for the delay and discovered that £78 had been credited to my bank account. I also complained to Approved Foods, that one order had been £4 short of goods, with a link to my blog, where I had previously sung their praises and the warning, with a link to the 'South West Water' rant, that I could also write a letter of complaint on my blog too. I received a £4 refund to my bank account today.
I've worked that out as a 'windfall' of £108 in one day. I have had a financially astute day. I've paid a monthly installment to South West Water. I've over paid my 0% credit card by another £100. I've read my meters myself to save money and submitted my readings online. I have worked out, that in my ten years of teaching, by taking a packed lunch every day, and with the average cost of £2.50 a day, that I have saved £5000. Just a few days ago, I felt skint and now, I'm rolling in it.
