  • Afternoon all :D
    it's so humid in London today!

    So far
    • just spent on capillary matting for my tomato plants and some food for them... think it would have been cheaper to buy tomatoes all summer but I'm getting excited now they have little green tommies on! :j They love the south facing wall.
    • cancelled my credit report free trial before they charged me :cool: thanks Martin!
    • cancelled an order for a replacement vacuum hose because a bbq guest on saturday fixed ours (I hoovered up a radiator tap and it got stuck :o ) so he earned his burgers! And we saved 16 pounds.
    • Dug a 5p petrol coupon out of the bag cupboard to save when we need to buy some this week, should save 1.50ish
    • checked quidco, not much due to be paid this month
    • OH has reimbursed me for some of the weekend's spends, so my spreadsheet looks happier :money:
    Cleosmum, you're still doing great, nearly 2k down since Feb, in % terms you have knocked loads off, and remember, less interest now you've paid off that wedge of capital... :T

    Hope you all have a lovely evening

    I listed a couple of things on ebay and they've already got watchers, so have got my fingers crossed. Checked my ISA and the money I transferred has mostly gone in so my savings will be up to £1000 by tomorrow!!! Most I've ever had saved in my life I think!!

    Haven't been on pigsback in ages so am going to have a look on there and hopefully should have some points waiting to be clicked and collected!

    My Intellipoint extension came today so am going to plus all my plugs in to it later and that'll power down all my peripherals when my computer goes to sleep, thus saving energy and my Mum's electric bill!!

  • Today I have:

    - Worked my butt off trying not to get distracted at work.
    - Figured out if I can afford to live away from the security of my parents home.
    - Made my first entry in my spending diary.
    - Walked at least 2 miles

    Not a lot really!

    today I have:

    - checked banking - all ok (fraud on debit card last month so touchy issue)
    - transfered weekend credit card spending from current to savings account to await bill, nicely collecting both cashback and interest:D
    - decided not to scrap pyjamas but make them into 'shorties' for summer hols so not need to buy new
    - done PB CTs and comps
    - did need to buy some things but all through cashback sites :D
    - looked at kitchen cupboards and freezer, WOW shouldn't need to buy much for ages if I'm a careful planner (except milk/bread/fuirt/veg etc..)

    now off for a cuppa:T

    Hi guys, just poppin in to say hi, using the computer at the library so saves me electricity! Nice to see lots of new posters. Will update mine later, but so far done two mystery shops and have picked up two more.

    Hope everyone is having a great day.
