Hi everyone,
What a misserable day its been today. Managed to tidy house from top to bottom tho instead of walking to town where i would of no doubt spent some un neccasarry (sorry for spelling i'm terrible) pennies, so today was a NSD for me.

Today i have

• had nsd
• dried clothes on clothes horse thanks to the weather!
• got a freebie lunch and tea:T
• done piggy clicks
• done surveys

Evening all. Haven't been on here for a while, but I'm currently struggling while in the period between graduating and starting my graduate job, so have come back here for inspiration.

Main thing for me today has been a NSD, which is pretty unusual for me I must say! Hopefully the same tomorrow as well. Gonna have a quick look at Quidco too, it won't help immediately but hey it's still free money!

Piglet, thats a nice idea for your wedding anniversary, hope its really nice.

Tess, the move sounds like its in full swing now, bet you can't wait till its over.

Hi to all the new posters, great to see you all on here and milkyscarlet, well done for paying off your mastercard, thats fantastic news.

Sophiesmum, glad you had a nice time shopping.

Bagpuss, glad to hear you've finally completed that assignment!! Your getting almost as bad as me!!

Cassey1, hope you made it to the hat fair. I had a great day out, although not so cheap! The cinema is now £7.50, i normally go when its orange wednesday so hadn't realised how expensive it was. Then we went for a meal, still these treats don't happen always. Luckily the weather was quite good so it was a nice chilled day watching loads of street acts.

Update from me:

• The batch cooking for the freezer didn't get done (I forgot to take the mince out of the freezer to defrost , so it is out now and I will do the batch cook tomorrow morning)
• Didn’t do any washing either – what do they say about the best laid plans…?! Maybe I’ll put some in overnight…
• Found 2 x 2p on the pavement whilst we were walking to B&Q this afternoon...every little helps!
• Also popped into Waitrose this evening on the way home from B&Q (to check out the offers/yellow stickers) and found Mr P's favourite brand of toothpaste on 3 for 2. Would never buy it from Waitrose normally as it is very expensive there, but on 3 for 2 it knocked 60+p per tube off the nearest competitor price-wise, so we stocked up… :T
• Dinner was yummy… We were both in agreement that we wouldn’t normally pay that much for it, but for a special occasion and for a change, it was a lovely treat!
