    Morning :D I got paid 11.50 for a mystery shop this morning that I'd forgotten I'd done :o so $that was a nice surprise ;):D

    Still waiting for the bookies money to arrive back in my account then it will all be straight again :D

    Today we're going to the library and to get ds haircut, then into Bmth later for another mystery shop and to take poorly friend to the hospital. Have a good day :D

    I cancelled the mystery shop in the end as I'd forgotten its the airshow starting today in Bmth and it is heaving, so I don't want to have to go in :o I took friend to hospital, she's been signed off for another 2 weeks but hopes to finally make it back to work in mid September :D

    We then went down the beach for a walk, a play in the sand and an ice-cream, which friend treated us to as a thank you for driving her round ;) And then a red arrow came along much to ds's pleasure :D:D

    My bookies money has arrived in my account while we were out, so I have put the original float money back in each account and have paid 100.00 into the mortgage pot, meaning I only need about a fiver to get rid of Oct 2029 :j :j

    Tescos shopping is coming tonight but other than that I'm planning a lazy evening, with maybe a look about for a new matched bet, a read of my new library book (Gordon Ramsays biograpy), and maybe a chat on msn with a new guy I've found online ;):D:D

    Hi BenBen
    Just popping in to say Hi - I love your new diary, it has inspired me to be more organised - you are really getting down that list!
    Just one thing that made me curious though - how on earth did you earn £41 worth of points on a £55 tesco shop?!

    Hi Nat, on the discount code board theres a thread of tesco codes, one of the is for 1000 points on a 50.00 spend. Points are 4 x their value in deals, so 40.00 worth :beer: The man has just delivered it and its all put away which is great as I booked the 8-10 slot and he was here at 8.10 :D Just sitting down with a crusty roll, cheese and salad ;)

    How bizarre, we both ordered food from Tesco, delivered at the same time and we used the same code...lol
