Recent(ish) updates

Oooh, I've been very neglectful this year.

I've still not been comping much, but I a bigish win from a spur-of-the-moment entry has made me want to at least update this blog again!

Comping Wins:
1. £25 Cash
2. £200 Cash

Freebies:
I've had a few and I can't even remember all of them. The most recent was a ring from a jewellery site, purely for signing up to their newsletter. It's sterling silver and very pretty, which I wasn't really expecting. There's been a few amazon freebies in exchange for reviews but nothing very exciting. I'll put the total value of everything as £20.

Total: £245
2016 Total: £296.36

Recent Updates

I've kind of completely given up comping for the time being, and with that I've ended up with less interest in this blog as well. I don't want to lose track of my totals though, so this a bulk post of all the freebies and wins I've had since my last update.

1. A Blouse from Wallis - £33
2. Kinder Bueno Bar - 80p
3. Thorntons Chocolates - £1.99
4. Face Mask - £1.20

Total:  £36.99
2016 Total: £51.36

Graze Box

A nice little freebie from o2, a graze box from Boots! I chose Pretzels with Chocolate Dip and it was lovely, although I would have preferred it if the dip was a little less hazelnutty.

Value: £1.19
2016 Total: £14.37

Crosse and Blackwell Soup

Not the most exciting win the world, but useful for my lunch breaks! A can of Crosse and Blackwell soup and a microwaveable soup mug.

Value: £2.50
2016 Total: £13.18

Dangerous Lies by Becca Fitzpatrick

My first win of the new year, a left over from the advents - a hardback copy of Dangerous Lies by Becca Fitzpatrick.

Value: £10.68
2016 Total: £10.68

2015 Summary

It's the end of the year and time for my yearly summary! This year has been pretty disappointing on the whole, I've not won very much and I'm feeling pretty disheartened. I don't want to sound ungrateful because I have had some lovely wins, but it does feel like a lot of the year has been a bit of wasted effort given the amount of time it takes every evening. I might cut back a bit next year - life is for living after all!

2015 Total: £1341.91

Lifetime Total: £14,972.76

La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo

My second advent win - a bottle of La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo. It's a lovely moisturiser, really soft and glides on nicely.

Value: £15.50
2015 Total: £1341.91
