Never trust sheep or children - they are both sneaky. (stop laughing!!!! I can't)

I am sure my DS has just done me out of a pound -

Just did car insurance through quidco (£60 cash back:))
Bought some reduced yoghurt 40p from 180p bought 3
Filled up my eco-squashing up liquid saving 30p
Bought some reduced soap (does it actually go off?????)

Clearly working hard.....not a second list more of a 'l'

Karb

Paid £10 off a credit card, deodorised the carpets and mattresses using bicarbonate of soda, brought own lunch to work. Nothing else really that I can think of.

A fairly boring day really

The sheep story isnt that interesting - you'll be sorry you asked.

I check our college farm stock before work (money soon adds up as its 7 days week 2hours day £8hour takes about an hour to do if all well) got the idea of a second job from here, so thank you guys - but farm is slowly being shut down by council grrrrr (who own college) and at the end of the month I will be out of a job.

ANyway tootled off this am before work, and when yesterday 3 fields had about 200+ sheep minding thier own business and grazing away - this morning there were nowt but empty fields - no escapees no amazing hide and seek sheep NO SHEEP (200 sheep arent easy to hide) but they are constantly chancing it and wandering through fences and ending up in the wrong place - so off I went searching in the surrounding fields .......

Anyway once round farm quizzically looking for them I decide OK someone has probably shifted them so I skoot up to farm, I discover only 85 of them in a field hiding behind my willow stacks - minus lambs.

Turns out the farm manager yesterday (lovely but micheivous sort) decided to sort the sheep out and sell the lambs - one call to mart - sheep in, and away in lorry to sale. I was writing up at me desk at home.

Very very sparkly look on his face this morning as he said to me 'fooled ewe!!!' - 'I kent you'd sort it oot lass' - thus for about an hour I thought I had 'lost' about 200 sheep - not an easy feat!! Told me it was nice to see me on my toes. And he didnt want to disturb all that writing stuff - so didnt phone.

The only thing funny about it was my face as I huffed and puffed aroudn the fields with my binoculars lookign for my sheep - feeling very silly!!!

Andan nice to see you having a quiet day at home lol - Piq grr about the book SM suns out here too - decided to have lunch on beach - just as a shower turned up - pah!! Lucky I had my waterproofs on (non sparkly regulation issue green)

To the rest of you hope you having fun - am full of rachels organic yoghurt that was reduced to 40p in my local old fashioned grocers -

:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: Sorry fay but I'm still laughing:D

Yeah picture the scene, 8.20am, before work, standing around scratching head in glamourous green farmer style waterproofs (accessoried with stripey scarf, hat, pigtails with sparkly bobbles - newly stolen from dd and binoculars) weahter kinda threatening, windy (of course) and no bl**dy sheep anywhere I tramped through 5 blinking fields - bet they all had a good laugh too!

Gave up, slightly concerned and went up to farm, here's 85 dolly dimple sheep standing right by the fence by the car looking quizzical - 'where you been - you're late today'?

Think of the money, mutters to self, think of the money.

Well at least I gave you all a free laugh!! Think of the moneysaving comedy moment, yesterday it was the chicken...

Hello Everyone,

Today I:

1. Coppered up pennies and used those to shop with rather than the card to save me overspending.

2. Spent a sum total of 40p on our tea by buying reduced jacket potatoes and using bolognese topping I'd already pre-made from scratch and frozen.

3. Did an online bulk shop at Tesco for bread/milk/cheese using their value brand and a £4 off voucher (which meant no delivery cost) so saved petrol too.

4. Earnt £10 using Quidco as a clickthrough.

5. Checked online banking and cancelled unnecessary direct debits.
