    Morning all!

    Just bought train tickets for £31.60 that would have been £69 if I'd have just bought them straight out, not following MSE advice!!

    Awesome stuff :T

    Hi everyone ..... 2nd day here for me :D

    Today (so far) I've:
    • Hung out washing that I put on before bed last night. Another load in now so will get that dry today too.
    • Finished off making the apple jelly that I started yesterday.
    • Made a shopping list as I need to pop into town and get some essentials to last me until Tuesday (payday so will be doing a big shop then) - shopping list needed so that I don't go buying any extras !
    • Checked quidco, P/Back, Lightspeed
    • Entered post received yesterday onto Postal Survey website
    Plans for the rest of the day:
    • Cook roast dinner and boil up carcus for stock etc afterwards - done (yummy!)
    • See if any more dwarf beans ready to have with dinner - done
    • Ironing - done
    • Make some cakes for kids packed lunches
    • Organise pressies for teachers (from pressie stash) - done
    • Take the kids down the beach crabbing
    • Prepare sandwiches for kids lunches
    • Bath kids - done
    Bit of an easy day really as I've got a hectic week next week what with it being the end of term (I also work in a school so double trouble for me ! :eek: )

    Hope everyone has a good day xxx

    Morning peeps, it's greyish in Grimsby.

    My list:
    • Make a loaf from the ultra cheap 3 packs for a £1 bread flour I found yesterday
    • Mop the floors
    • get some more stuff on ebay if camera behaves itself
    • Pack and take amazon sales to postbox, as I have a stash of old stamps to be used up
    • No tumbly, as long as weather holds off
    • Take books to library and start gathering ideas for H.M pressies for the X word in December
    • Do a bit more planning on a website I want to set up based on my diary thread.
    • Make some cakes/biscuits for lunchboxes next weeks
    Not a long list today as the kids are home and you never get a lot done with the kids about.
    This year I'm getting organised once and for all, and going to buy a house with my wonderful other half. And that' s final!

    Current Pay Off Target : £1500 :mad:

    Sounds like there are a few of us from hampshire on this board, but then seeing how expensive the cost of living is around here its not surprising!

    Cassey, i used to do comps and my aim was around twenty a day, but got too busy, however now i have more time to myself i was thinking of twenty a day and hopefully i can win some nice prizes!

    Welcome myrtle.

  • Hi all

    So far today:

    * I have spoken to Payplan, [strike]awaiting callback with way foward[/strike] :eek:
    * Have been up in attic to get 'dance mat' down to plug into hubbys PS2 as we dont have a Wiii fit! :j

    * Rooting around in freezer and cuboards to see what we have to eat for next week. :o

    * Getting hints and tips from MSE'ers on how to save more pennies :T

    * Resisting temptation for munchies as we have none in and can't afford any anyway :p

    * sorting stuff out to Ebay or carboot :rolleyes:

    * Count the money in my 'sealed pot' as its bursting and I can't shove anymore in there! :T

    Phew! I'm exhausted ;)

    Gooooooooooooood Morning everyone:D

    I must be from the same bit of Hampshire as Casey1 as it is sunny here as well.

    erm not much of a nsd today as going out for post birthday lunch with hubby and son but if we go to a carvery i could eat lots and that would save having much for tea - well i tried:rotfl:

    today i will be doing:
    - comps
    - daily clicks
    - check on ebay bidding which ends tonight
    - using 5p off a litre petrol coupon to fill up my car at Tesco

    have a great day everyone:D
    Hope you enjoyed your Birthday lunch. You are from the same bit of Hampshire. Where has the sun gone,but at least washing getting dried.
