£70 a day's what the panda will pay!

Thanks MM!

Another rough night with Greg last night - he's been waking twice a night to be fed for the past few days and it's driving me up the wall!

Today's list:

• Clean the kitchen and solve the mystery of the rotten smell in there!
• Wash & hang 2 loads
• Ring Tesco to complain about being overcharged for yogurt yesterday
• Order my Tesco wine vouchers (as intended last week)
• Make a new baby hamper for friends we're going to see in Leeds on Saturday
• Check and do all emails/surveys/mystery shops/banks/spreadsheet
• Work at 4pm

Better get cracking - just realised it's 11.15 already!

Oh yeah, time flies when you're having fun, doesn't it!

Lovely load of mail this morning: £20 Waitrose vouchers from pigsback (taking me up to £70 in the Christmas shopping fund) and £77.50 Tesco Clubcard vouchers (taking us up to £744 in the holiday fund). I love free money!

Just trying to restrain myself from buying too much for Xmas from Woolies - they've got Spiderman rollerblades for a fiver which I'm going to get for Adam, but there's soooooo much else that's a bargain. Do I need it? Probably not.

mickey_mouse

you have done great on the free money.
Sorry for the wakeful, hungry Greg - you must be soooooooooo K******** (tired)

Step away from the Woolworths site/ shop

Great idea to be saving for Christmas via pigsback - but you *know* you don't need the Woolies stuff! Have a nice cup of something - is decaff coffee bad for babies too? Hope you manage to sit down for a bit.

Well, I'm quite pleased with myself: I bought the in-line skates (£5, free delivery, reduced from £20. Spiderman ones!) which Adam will love and I can put by until his birthday in Dec. I resisted all other bargains though which is quite an accomplishment. Total spend for today therefore £5.

Coloured another 2 squares in today, and worked out that since we got back on track on 10th Aug, we've paid nearly £500 off my Egg card. Quite amazing what you can do if you put your mind to it. The payment-a-day thing is the best ever!

MM, meant to say to you - I mentioned Payday loans to you a bit ago by email, and you said you didn't need to borrow money! :rotfl: Sorry if I offended the mouse by suggesting you could be that desperate for cash, but I meant that you can take it out for the Quidco. It's about £50 profit for 5 minutes work, my 2 paid out really quickly and there's some satisfaction in getting free money from these peddlars of doom!

No offending of the mouse was done - hugs. I didn't really know what you had meant by the payday thingie but thanks for explaining it:D

As usual, partially achieved. Here's tomorrow's list now so I don't spend the first 2 hours of the morning deciding what to do:

• Visit a friend for the morning (DH nightshift, so keeping kids out the house)
• Post 2 parcels and a letter
• Do a matched bet for an offer I got by email
• The usual email/MS/bank/spreadsheet/surveys/clicks
• Paint first coat on newly plastered ceilings (not tiling till this is done now. DH's job but I need to make sure it gets done as he'll find an excuse )
• Ring our Nov Sun hol to remove their linen charge (euuugh) and pay.
• Ring Tesco to complain about being overcharged for yogurt 2 days ago
• Make a new baby hamper for friends we're going to see in Leeds on Saturday.

Should keep me out of trouble for a bit.

sounds like a busy day for the Panda.

I like how you do the lists- something i should do more but i can never think what to put on the lists eventhough there is a ton of stuff that always needs doing:rolleyes:

I find that sometimes this is incredibly important - cos I don't like *doing* things very often, to have the list right there ready stops me prevaricating....
