Well that me just finished my round of four working days and am now glad to be into the four days off.
Had a NSD yesterday and hoping for more of the same today and tommorrow if I can.
Made my first 23p from quidco and am very excited, should have a MR T shop coming htru soon too.
Did a bit of calulating and on our present £150 per month off the arrears on our mortgage it is going to take us four years to clear, need to give that some serious thought.

well thats me back at work on my four days on, I am hoping for three out of those four to be NSD, hubby was getting a sack of potatoes today to see me thru the rest of the month. I dont need anything else till next week, bread and milk already inthe freezer.
this si going to be a very tight month want to pay double mortgage this month if we can, that will clear the arrears to under £6000, a tall order but we are going to try.

Well on a day shift today so NSD should be quite easy. I have brought my lunch and dinner is going to be left over lasagne and chips - buy potatoes by the sack, so convenient and a bit less expensive.
Two night shifts after today so hoping for 3 NSD in a row, fingers crossed.

good morning
Today is pay day for my OH so I have made a few transaction on the net paying bills ect, but on the cash front this is planned as a NSD, I dont think I am cheating.
I emptied my full sealed jar lst night and there was £93.61 in there, I have bagged £60 for saving and the rest has gone into the next sealed jar which is consideribley larger.
Feeling positive today,
