Spring cleaning, payday sales, top freebies


Hello,

Have you had a good week so far? Hope so! It's been a thrifty one here with some home cooking, organising and spring cleaning. Oh, and I've started a few seeds off for the kitchen garden too.

Some good news for book shoppers this week: there's a new platform which lets you buy bargain ebooks from your local independent bookshop. Hurrah!

Expect ongoing offers & discounts to save you even more money - plus the proceeds go to businesses in your community instead of some shady American billionaire.

Plenty of new articles on the site this week, in time for the start of March, and all the usual sales, offers and freebies. Slaayyyyy. Or just scroll down, whatever works best for you.

This week's newsletter has been brought to you by the power of secretly snaffled Easter chocolate. It wasn't me, I swear.*

Hello, How are you doing this week? It's been another mercifully short four-day one, mostly marked by national confusion about which day the bins are supposed to go out.
