Hi there...and welcome to my diary;) Thanks for posting that link, but I can't get it to work....goes to the site but no offer there

Thankyou for the welcome, look at the freebies no spend required, the link worked for me strange. Just checked it is still working.

Completely Free Good Quality Sun Cream

Hiya Milly, well done on the NSDs! I seem to rarely manage those, always seems to be something to use up some pennies!

You do some many money saving things... I need to do more! You're really inspiring!

Well I don't count grocery shopping - as long as it's food (no treats) and I include it in my £220 grocery budget then I'm allowed it;) Also I don't count ebay postage costs - the buyer's already paid for that. Otherwise I do manage to get a few NSDs in each week - I can avoid shops quite easily as I work in school then go straight home after usually. Tea/coffee is provided at work and I take lunch in. I finish at 2.30 tomorrow...:D so I come straight home to enjoy the peace in the house on my own, bfore eldest rolls in about 4 and youngest after cheerleading at 4.40.

Awwww thank you - but I don't think I do:rotfl: I'm always thinking I need to do more. Would loveto start matched betting, but just neevr get round to making a start. Have read and reread all the many pages on the gambling thread, just need one more look through...but time....I never seem to have it;):D

I did manage to order that freebie sun cream that debidoodle pointed out....thanks for that....hope it comes:D

Hooray....it's the weekend again:beer:
Just a quiet one lined up, not going far. Girls are here so think we'll pop to town tomorrow afternoon, G wants to spend some birthday money and I want to go to the cheap fruit and veg stall that's there on a Saturday;) Think Sunday will be at home, just have a rest and get house straight.

Nothing much happeneing money-saving wise.... I'm still waiting to hear from HB after I told them my monthly wages had gone up a bit (about £20 a month, but I had it backdated the year) - I'm worried I'll have a big overpayment:o HB is due in on monday and the woman said they'd suspend it when I went in last week with the new figures, so will see what happens - I need the money in there to pay some DDs that come out soon. Luckily rent isn't due til the 10th next month and I will be paid beofre then, but still need the HB to pay all my outgoings.

Lots needs doing around the place this weekend....might go and write a list. I'm not going to do the weekly shop on Sunday...going to try manage til Tues and do it when E goes to Brownies - I may pick up bargains again:D And also it was soooo much quieter than on A sun afternoon;)

Had a letter in the post from college congratulating me on achieving my NVQ, and saying how hard I'd worked and produced high quality work....awwww:o Now just need to hear about the degree....darn UCAS taking their time:p

Only groceries bought today....milk, coke, yogurt....I wanted a magazine but resisted:rotfl: So, NSD...that spend goes in the grocery budget.

Matched betting is great. I did it for a short while last year. I don't think it's too time consuming, so I must start again.

Well done on resisting a mag - I would have caved!

Ooooh I've just completed a rather long survey and earned £5......coool:p Was very bored of it towards then end, but the reward was worth it:D

Have been very busy tonight - I went up to girls room and ended up sorting their closet out, found some stuff to ebay;) I've taken photos of it, so going to get listing now. Just kept Em happy with a game of ker-plunk....better not sell it:rotfl:
