    Today I have/will:
    • checked for piggy clicks - none today :confused:
    • at Mum's for tea so no cost to me
    • OH paid for boiler service at reduced price of £30 instead of £70
    • do daily clicks
    • try to enter some comps (hoping my change of e-mail will bring me some luck at last)
    • no washing today but some ironing to do when I get back from Mum's
    • checked bank and updated spreadsheet
    • checked other bank and glad to see my ISA transfer has finally been sorted - only waited since April :mad:
    I'm sure there's more but I can't think right now.

    Have a good day everyone

    I will, erm, probably not do much, but
    - do washing and cleaning
    - hire a carpet cleaner, asked around friends for one, but no one seems to have one, B&Q do one for £25 apparantly. Money saving as will prolong the life of carpet.
    - only eat food I have in from yesterdays Lidl shop
    - might have to go bulk buy pampers etc with the money off vouchers I have before I loose them
    - bought a couple of washable nappy pants in toddler size to try with DS
    - bought another type of sanitary towel (washable) to try
    - will try use at least 3 nappies washable on DS, it works out 11p a nappy for dispoable, so will save me 33p

    Really feel like I'm back on the wagon again today. Thank you all for welcoming me back so warmly. Just an update. Had a FAB DFW day:

    Emailed solicitor about problems I'm having getting deposit back from previous landlord
    Review with CCCS
    Did most of my daily clicks
    did all the paid ironing. Will drop it off tonight and get £18
    Won £10 on bingo played using a free bonus I was sent yay! - and withdrew it rather than playing anymore!
    Made hubby a pack-up for lunch
    Sold highchair for £10
    Made a huge spag (with buy one get one free sauce I'll have u know!) bol so can freeze some
    Walked in the rain rather than catching bus - boys LOVED it! Especially the puddles!

    Dont know why I stayed away so long! :j
