Red Spotted Hanky

Couldn't decide whether to post this or not as it's only a voucher so doesn't feel as exciting as getting something in the post!

But I suppose it is technically a freebie - found a voucher code a few days ago for £10 off train travel at Red Spotted Hanky. I use the trains quite a lot so this is a great offer for me!

Value: £10
2012 Total: £34.89
Lifetime Total: £34.89

That Purple Cat Toy

What a cutie! Forgot all about winning this guy many months ago. He's actually really nice...very big and soft. My cat also approves and immediately started to nibble his head as soon as they were introduced.

Value: Not available for purchase anywhere... I'll just say £1.
2012 Total: £24.89
Lifetime Total: £24.89

Self Tan Wipes


Today I received one what is apparently a full sized sample of self tan wipes - they look tiny so I was surprised that the size is the same as listed on the website!

My past (and very few) attempts at self tanning have been precarious at best, so I am scared to try these! I can't see how they're going to cover all my legs when the packs are so small. Plus it keeps raining. I might give them a go if the sun ever comes out at any point!

Value: £2.59
2012 Total: £23.89
Lifetime Total: £23.89

I've just noticed my badly chipped nail varnish in the pic....how embarrassing! XD

Recent Things

I've won a couple of little things recently which I may as well add here now while I remember them!

 A £1 Amazon voucher from a spin-to-win facebook competition.

2 x Free Cinema Tickets from a New Look competition. Ticket value £8.40!

Walkers Crisps vouchers from another spin-to-win on facebook. I've had 1x free bag, 1x 20p off and 3x40p off!

Value: £19.80
2012 Total: £21.30
Lifetime Total: £21.30


Batiste Dry Shampoo

These were being given put for free in my city centre. Full size bottle (200ml) retails for £2.99!

I use Batiste sometimes anyway so this is a great freebie for me. I've tried using more expensive brands of dry shampoo before and they don't even work as well! Batiste I've found does make hair look and feel a lot less greasy, but it doesn't last long enough so by the end of the day you end up looking disgusting again (but then I do have naturally greasy hair (ugh) which might be why!)

Value: 2 x £0.75
2012 Total: £1.50
Lifetime Total: £1.50

Welcome!

This is the first of what I hope will be many, many posts. My aim is to grab as many as freebies and win as many competitions as I can! I will be sharing all my good fortune with this blog. At the bottom of each post I will keep a running total of the value of all the items and vouchers I get...I wonder how much I will have saved by the time I'm 50!! Hopefully I will have lots of luck and I hope I can share my luck with you :)
