    Hi All,

    It has to be not throwing away the potatoes I accidently dropped on the kitchen floor, and since my OH has been a bit mean of late, they ended up on his plate as opposed to going in the bin :rotfl: !!!!!!!!!!!!!! so saved myself a few pennies on buying more potatoes. :cool:
    :D Opinions are like bottom holes, we all have one :D

    Evening all,

    I can't believe the time! It sure is good to be back Sophiesmum and Andan - thanks guys! :D

    Got up about 10:05am this morning which is really late for me but think that has allowed me to catch up on much needed sleep, also the fact that I had a nose bleed at 7:30am.

    My dfw things for today:
    • posted off Ebay item
    • got 1 point added to WH Smith card :o
    • Greggs - sausage roll for DS - used 50p luncheon voucher so only 4p to pay
    • did survey online
    • did a few e-mail mutual point click throughs
    • sold Ebay item
    • got 4 x free Tesco bags for life with free vouchers
    • did monthly shop with DH - so under £37 each - will need to buy fruit and veg every so often to top up but won't be much
    • re-used at least 10 large bags for life and got points buy cashier only gave me 10 instead of 20 points but better than nothing I guess (if he had forgotten)
    • got 2 till spits when I first went to get my free bags
    • used one of the tesco till spits as well as a few other extra point coupons
    • used £2 off £20 spend and 3 other coupons so took that £3 off my magazines spend total
    • took 2 for 1 voucher out of reduced Pizza Express pizza we brought which I hope to use when I got out with friends unless one of them cancels!
    • washing done at 30deg and quick wash - drying indoors
    • had rest of last nights dinner for lunch
    • took a banana from the house for breakfast as I was in a rush so I didn't need to get a Greggs
    That's all I can think of.

    Just done some piggy clicks. :T
    Tesco points: 101 (£21.50, £19.50, £7.50, £21 & £5)
    Boots points: £0.28
    Pigsback points: 715 (4 xBoots£10 & 1 xPizzaHut£10, 2 x £10 clothing vouchers)
    Mutual points: 3417 (redeemed 8250)
    Rpoints:redeemed 28925 points)Cashbag:£8.91(£20)

    Thats the spirit:T I would so do this, my poor OH i'm always being mean about him on this thread!:o Must have been great fun watching him eat them.

    Nice to see your regular posts back Sans

    Cleosmum, sorry your laptop is playing up, but your post with missing letters made me laugh!

    Candy, its frustrating, get in touch with the agency first thing on monday and then you can feel better about it once its sorted.
