Cadbury's Mini Eggs

Another o2 offer - a free bag of Mini Eggs. When I got to WHSmith they had so many in stock the very nice cashier said I could have two bags instead of one so I was doubly happy!

I also received another £10 voucher for Red Spotted Hanky from a Telegraph offer.

Value: £1 each for the bags (£2 total), £10 voucher.

365 Dare you To...

Found a £10 off voucher for an online bookstore with no minimum spend - they only sold reference/non-fiction books so I went for the only category that peaked my interest ;). 365 Dare You To has lots (365 to be exact) of different fun ideas to do with your partner. The book itself is nice, with glossy, high quality pages. The pictures that demonstrate the dares are really cheesy though, more laughable than erotic!

Value: £7.99
2013 Total: £427.49


Vintage Cosmetic Company Eyelashes

A very nice freebie - 2 packs of false eyelashes from the Vintage Cosmetic Company. They were giving these out for one day only for signing up to their newsletter - it's the kind of offer that doesn't always turn up so it was a nice surprise to get these in the post yesterday - especially two of them!

Value: £6 each (£12 total)
2013 Total: £419.50


Felix Sensations

Another free cat food sample - this one had the same issue as the last one - my cat loved it but I struggled to get the food out of the pouch!

Value: 50p
2013 Total: £407.50


£40 Cash

2 separate cash payments - one from a competition, the other a freebie! Received them both the same day so thought I may as well post together as they're basically the same prize!

1) £30 Cash - This was another cashback freebie! I don't usually post free cash offers, mainly because they're usually only for a pound or so. This one was from a relatively unknown cashback site called imutual, who were offering £30 just for registering on another site. Was quite surprised when it actually paid out!

2) £10 Cash - This was from an ongoing daily competition on Prize Dig, where you have to pick a spot on the map where you think the treasure is. I've been entering for about a month now, never really expecting to win, so I was very surprised to log in today to see a message saying I'd won! They paid out a few hours later, very impressed!


Value: £40
2013 Total: £407

Tesco Pedometer

I only really entered this competition because they were giving out thousands of these pedometers so I stood a good chance of winning. A good thing too considering what a terrible March I am having!

Value: Not a lot, going to say 47p so I can round my total to a nice even number:

BEAR yoyos

These were won multiple times in an ongoing instant win game that BEAR were doing on facebook - A free pack of BEAR yoyos each time. These are nice little snacks made from real fruit - they can be quite tangy, but the strawberry in particular has a sweet aftertaste and is very nice.

Value: 50p each (7 packs total - £3.50)
2013 Total: £364.58

Kompendium - Beneath the Waves

Another surprise arrival - a CD copy of Kompendium's 'Beneath the Waves.' I didn't know much about it when I entered the competition, so I was just going off the name of it really. I was expecting sort of ethreal, relaxing sleep music. Some of the songs are like that, some of them are more old-school rocky, and some of them are just completely ruined by weird singing. Overall it was quite a mixed bag of stuff, some songs are better than others, but on the whole I found that none of the music was very 'emotive' and I got kind of bored. I don't think I will listen to it again.

Value: £15.99 apparently.
2013 Total: £361.08


Delerium by Lauren Oliver

A surprise arrival the other day - a copy of Delerium by Lauren Oliver. I've been reading good reviews about this for ages so I'm pleased to get the chance to read it - especially as I love anything set in a dystopian society!

Value: £5.00
2013 Total: £345.09

Update: I LOVED this!! I thought everything about it was excellent - I love the whole concept of the 'cure', I loved the romance, I loved all the characters and it was well written to boot. The only problem with it is that now I'm going to have to go out and buy the rest of the trilogy!!

Cushelle Toilet Paper

A free pack of Cushelle Toilet Paper.

Value: £2.00
2013 Total: £340.09


Gourmet Cat Food

A free pouch of Gourmet Cat Food, plus a golden serving fork! My cat gobbled it up so I guess he approves! I wasn't so enthusiastic - the pouches were too tight and it was really hard to push the food out.

Value: £0.75
2013 Total: £368.09
