Anyway, list for today:

• [strike]make list[/strike] this one has worked well for me so far - never fails
• [STRIKE]go for a NSD - that means no buying chocolate[/STRIKE] Done!! No money spent!!
• [STRIKE]make shopping list for Tesco online[/STRIKE] Done and will look for a money off coupon on MSE before I make the order
• [strike]check online banking and do cash vs bills thing[/strike] Still the right side of the line
• [STRIKE]ask for clubcard vouchers to be e-vouchers for extra points etc[/STRIKE]tried all day on and off but the website was down.
• [STRIKE]sort another bag for the dump/charity shop[/STRIKE]Kids have done another bag each
• [STRIKE]check mystery shopping sites[/STRIKE]nothing suitable
• [STRIKE]free b!ngo 6-8pm[/STRIKE] won £2.50:T

I am sure there must be more, but this will have to do to be going on with!

Have a good day everyone!

So, I have just won a whole £2.50 on free b!ngo - that is £2.50 more than I had this morning so I can't complain - will withdraw my huge winnings and pay them straight off egg when they arrive in my account.

It's Friday!! Another week draws to an end, and we are all another week closer to that debt free party!

Have just made a small payment to egg - that account is now down to £682 But when I was on online banking I saw that National Insurance are still taking out £11.50 a month despite me having written to them asking them not to take it and actually I reckon they owe ME rather than anything else so that is another chase up letter I need to write because it is mucking my numbers up!

Also got my mobile bill and on my new cheap tarrif I have been charged £2.49 for retrieving 6 voicemail calls :mad: Still, even with that I am paying about half what I was paying on the old tarrif so not the end of the world, but I will be working out how to cancel voicemail today!

So, list for today:

• [strike]make list[/strike] Done!
• [STRIKE]eat chocolate (well, it is Friday)[/STRIKE] Had chocolate spread sandwiches for lunch
• [strike]contact National Insurance[/strike] Have written to the refund dept
• [STRIKE]cancel voicemail[/STRIKE] Done
• [strike]check banking against bills still to pay[/strike] Just about in surplus.....pretty good for this stage of the month
• [strike]update snowball and signature[/strike] Done
• take kids to karate
• take kids skiing
• [strike]do tesco online shop[/strike] Done - with £13 discount voucher from the freebies board too :T

That's about it I think........enjoy the Olympics

Well done on Egg :T - wasn't it still over £1000 only last week?

This list should be a doddle - you've already achieved one thing off it & there's at least one other I'm pretty sure you'll achieve .

I'm glad you're looking forward to the Olympics - no-one else seems to be . I'm off on holiday & looking forward to watching loads. Hopefully it will inspire me to at least go for long walks & go swimming. Knowing me though I'll sit on my backside & toast the winners instead .

Ooooh, I'm excited about it too .... ds was asking what it was and the only way I could think to explain it was saying its like a really big sports day for people from all over the world :rotfl:

Yay! Its years since I've been to a sports day, sounds good to me.

hypno06

That's a really good explanation benben!

I love the Olympics - whether controversial in its location or not. I just think it is fab that whatever other sporting goals people have, to compete in the Olympics is almost always their ultimate aim.......

I am off for the second week of the games, so am hoping to do a bit of couch potato stuff in between mystery shopping!!

I'm also looking forward to the Olympics and certainly want to watch the openong ceremony. Have a good day.

Have booked place on sofa for opening ceremony - actually I can have 1 sofa, DS has other one !!!!!!!!!!!! Great way to spend the next three weeks - roll on the swimming - I've told all my pupils they have to watch the swimming to see how it should be done !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
