    • Banking
    • Clicks
    • Laundry (30 and hung up)
    • Store cupboard meals
    • Think of a cheap birthday gift for a 5 year old girl
    • Not put the heating on even though I am freezing!
    Hope you all have a warm and satisfying day!

    Piquant, I mis-read your posting about the oldies peering over the new flooring, and thought of Walshy Boy with his industrial strength urine remover :rotfl:
    Oh it must be too early for me, you're all so fast off the mark today :D

    Today I have/will:
    • had breakfast courtesy of the company - best bacon butties I've had all year :D

    • Checked on-line banking, worked out which debt to clear this month
    • Another NSD if I can postpone taking DS2 to the supermarket to set him up at uni.

    Today I have/will:-

    Cycle to work and back
    Take lunch to work with me
    Check online banking
    Do quidco daily clicks
    Go to lidl at lunch with my last weeks Tesco receipt and see how much cheaper i can get things (if I can)
  • Afternoon everyone!

    Still off work so I have/will:

    * Checked online banking
    * Check payment from Quidco - £60 extra this month:T
    * Chase up music magpie again - they're taking ages! :mad:
    * Done lots of shredding - got rid of 2 cc's and a storecard paperwork that I paid off / closed last week which was a great feeling! Only 1 left to pay and that's the biggy...
    * Changed surname to married name on bills/loans/tv licence etc
    * Changed TV Licence quarterly payments to monthly dd's but was a bit annoyed they then charge you 6 months up front so end up paying more for first 6 months! Seems a lot of hassle just to save £5 a year!
    * Put meat & veg going in slow cooker for dinner
    * Have storecupboard food day again today
    * 2nd NSD of the month
    * Sign up for 2 months free gym membership tonight

    Err, think that covers it. Seems like a long list but I don't seem to have done that much!

    Have a great day all xx
  • Today:
    • Had a NSD
    • Brought in lunch
    • Checked online banking this morning
    • Checked Quidco (another 18 paid)
    • Parked at the edge of town in free parking and walked in to pay some cash at bank
    • Will list a few of items on Ebay tonight (set target of 5)
    • We've had an invitation out on Saturday to Pizza Hut with friends, so downloaded a voucher that gives us 50% off food there
    Dinner tonight is stir fry with home grown onion, french bean, runner bean, courgette, patty pan, chilli and tomatoes. The meat is left-over from the other day and will be complete with some noodles that cost just pennies :j

    I've got a Sainsburys fuel card for my company car so will fill-up with diesel and use my nectar card, now got over 75 worth of points (which I will save until Christmas) :T

    I'll also try and fit in a jog tonight as part of the keep fit regime :j
