Happy Sunday my dear ladies, 

Really wanted to write yesterday but I had my friend over and I had zumba and by the time i was back I was totally whacked out. I had a long hot bath and gave myself a good scrub and hair treatment that I am raving to talk about in the next post! I just laid back and watched a movie with my son. 

Today I am going to talk about what happened while I was out at Watsons drugstore last Wednesday. I had actually been reading a lot of reviews of Scholl's Velvet Smooth Electronic Pedi that I really needed to get one to get rid of my dead skin and cracks that I have been getting lately coz of the weather and post natal since I really hadnt had the time to groom myself with the manicurist. It costs SGD 39.90 which actually made me think a couple of times whether I really needed it and if it would work perfectly for me. Gave it a lot of consideration and made up my mind that I needed to get it asap.

So after work I headed over to the drugstore and bought a few stuff. While I queued up to make my payment, I handed over my POSB everyday credit card. POSB is a post savings bank in Singapore for those overseas readers. 

I usually keep this card for all my ticket booking and online transactions. One thing good about this card is that for every time we purchase, we end up with its equivalent rebate $$. I was aware of this but had no idea how much I have accumulated so far. But I never came around to using it before. So I completely forgot of such a thing and when I wanted to make my payment for those stuff with my credit card, the lady at the counter said that I have more than enough to buy the stuff I have chosen and I dont have to pay a cent. Free!! Oh yeah, this budget hijabi loves to hear about free stuff!!

You should have seen the gleam on my face like a child that saw cotton candy. I was smiling through the whole purchase and I was glad I didnt have to pay a single cent for the items I took.

So, if you gals are planning to get credit card, choose a one which has claimable rebate $$ so that we can spend on stuff on those rainy days.
