  • Closed three credit cards with zero balance Why is that an achievement you might ask? I am looking to experiment more substantially with Stoozing and I need to close down my Amex and Santander Credit Card accounts so that I can reopen them and bag an interest free period. I have discovered how to extract funds from such cards without triggering cash advance costs. @£0 (important for the future)

  • Agreed to my medical I am planning on bagging a £1400 critical illness cover cashback bonus from Aviva through Topcashback. The cost of the cover over the qualifying period will mean I am £100 worse off if all goes to plan but I will benefit from 6 months of mahoooosive critical illness cover worth £1500 so it seems a good deal. I have been putting this off as I hate my blood being drawn because I am a wimp and at this level of cover they give you a medical to protect their investment. @£1400

  • Bought some second hand kids books / Nerf guns @£100

  • Continue to use my indefinite free Subway Coffee shenanigan for 2 free coffees per day. @£28.70 I am not telling you about this - sorry, it is a zero sum game.

Faux Pas

  • I accidentally invited someone my daughter does not even know to her birthday party for £23 per head @£23.

  • I had a new swing ball set stolen from outside our house as I did not take sufficient care of it at a loss of £30 @£30.
