Penny-Pincher!!

Morning!

Not a good night for me again. Its so cold too-just cant seem to get warm. In alot of pain so have taken some strong pain killers

All washing done, DW emptied and house clean and tidy.

OH, myself & DD are going to see Harry Potter this morning at Thurrock as a treat. OH gets in free as a carer, so only costs us £9.50 for all 3 of us :T Are taking popcorn, snacks with us, so will just buy a drink to share. Also going to take 2 rounds of sarnies, biscuits and a flask of coffee with us-then Ive got me lunch..lol. May take a sarnie in with us OH & DD will have a 99p burger from Burgerking-again as a treat Also have found a BOGOF voucher for Harry Ramsdens so will print one and take, just incase!

Have a good day all.

Morning All

Was having the greatest sleep last night, when the alarm went off at 4am to get me up for work - typical!

Can't wait for the end of work so I can go back to bed:D

I can't seem to beat the munchies today. Had a big bowl of porridge and I'm still hungry

Went to Tesco last night and stocked up on the Xmas booze as they had loads of offers on. With all the cash they were taking off the prices, I got one bottle free, and another one free with my clubcard coupons. In all last night I saved £22.60 which includes a petrol saving, as I got a coupon for 5p off every litre as I spent more than £50 in store. Actually nearly everything I bought yesterday was on offer, and I needed it all!! Went into Tesco with 91 points, came out with over 500 - bring on the next batch of coupons

I didnt get paid today, what a bummer!

Today is going to be very cold and miserable, im just hoping that work is ok and i dont get too much hassle! I must be getting paid on Monday, which means no furniture shopping for me this weekend.

Anyway, home made pizzas for dinner tonight and have to work tomorrow too so I think an early night is in order, im exhausted!

Hope you all have a good day

Blimey, it's a long time since I've been up this early! I'm covering for one of my staff today as he's doing me a favour by working somewhere else. I don't mind too much as I get to catch up with a lot of old friends & finish at 2.
It was -5 this morning when I got in the car; the £5 plastic car cover from Argos was worth it's weight in gold cos I didn't have to scrape the windows.
PP we're going to see HP tonight, so no coming on here & spoiling it for me! We might splash out on a pizza, as we're being treated to a meal out tomorrow night by my Grandad. My somewhat skewed logic is that the cost of a normal dinner tonight & tomorrow night = price of a takeaway. We usually spend a bit more on a Saturday night dinner & have some nice fish, or steak, duck etc, plus a bottle of wine & a pud. It's still cheaper than going out, no-one has to drive & we can cook it just as well or better than a restaurant.

morning all

off shopping this morning whilst still got 20% off :j

PP - hope you have a good time at the cinema, has daughter got the day off to go?

scuzz - some great bargains there, I always try to keep my shopping until I need to spend £50 now so that I can get the petrol vouchers at either Tesco or Sainsbury, we save around £2.75 off each tank full tha way

jw - homemade pizza sounds good I may buy some ingredients later

have a good day all

Glad

Lucy - didn't see you there

we always plan a nice meal with wine etc for a fri or sat night instead of going out too
can both have a nice drink and no taxi fares

Penny-Pincher!!

Hello all,
It feels very strange to be at home on a week day, I'll have to go and do some dreaded housework in a minute :eek:

My cold is a bit better so I can enjoy being at home with little DD, I might even wrap some prezzies this afternoon if she has a nap. Older DDs made all the christmas cards the other day so I can definately write those later.

Have a lovely day PP, post back tonight and tell us all about it,

Bye, Sally.
