Hi Tiredmum (know how you feel!)

Daily clicks are doing searches and things via cashback sites. You make between 1p and 5p a click but it soon adds up and you can make about £2 a day (and pay for xmas!) plus if you're buying anything online its worth going via a cashback site especially for things like bank accounts and insurance which you need anyway. Have a look here:

Hi everyone,
not sure if this counts but have just read on the internet that EON (who we have both gas and electricity with) have increased their gas prices by a HUGE 26% and their electricity by 16% as from today.

We fixed our price back in May and it stays fixed until Oct 2009!! So although not directly today.... I am so glad we did, we are already paying £108 a month for both.

Anyway the rest of today:

* have transferred my money from paypal to bank account would have been £29.99 except for the wretched withdrawal charge!!! of 25p
* checked online banking
* surveys x 2
and a NSD planned.

We were out yesterday, but had a good MSE day I think!

• Went to Warwick castle, 5 of us in for free, took a picnic and £15 in petrol there and back. Free exercise too, couldnt feel my legs after the ramparts and the 20 min walk there and back lol.
• Charged phone in car on way to Warwick.
• Bypassed the gift shops as they were packed.
• Not so DFW but birthday meal at Brewers Fare on the way back, spend just over £32 :eek: for 5. Did manage to save £4 as they closed the softplay just as the kids wanted to go in :rolleyes:
• Checked banking.
• Made payment a day payments.
• Updated sig.
• Checked PB.
• Filled out an outstanding ms report.

So, today!
I have:

• Checked mystery shops
• Checked PB
• Checked banking
• Updated spreadsheet and sig
• Made 2 x £1 payments for payment a day challenge
• Received clubcard tokens for pizza hut to use whilst away :T

And I will:

• Go pear picking for free
• Cycle to sw and back tonight, saving petrol
• Keeps spends low, just need a couple of bits today.
• Need to update sig with grocery spends, need to sit down with the receipt first!
• Meals from store cupboards
• Borrow backpacks from mum for trip away next week
• Gather up all school uniform so that name tags can be sewn in
• Try and find 2 cheap adult pac-a-mac coats for trip away, anyone any ideas? Millets can keep theirs at £25 each!!!

Right, thats enough to be going on with, will update if I do more!
