Afternoon guys, hope everyone is having a good day. I have been at a course all day, it was good and bad, was very glad to get home so that my brain was no longer frazzled!!

Today's things:
-Bought cheap sandwich for lunch and resisted the nicer more expensive ones
-Took some food with me to college so that i didn't have to buy as much pack lunch food, would have made it myself but have hardly out in the house!
-The heating has been off all day, so saving money there
-Have put money in payment a day challenge pig
-Have sorted through emails
-Have listed website on a few more directories
-Have been on other forum for business advice
-Have been doing some bits and pieces for my business and trying to promote it
-Will place another matched bet in a minute
-Partner is cooking tonight and he bought the food, so technically its a free meal!!
-Will sort out mystery shops for tomorrow
-Have looked for mystery shops
-Have received another gift voucher
-Will list gift vouchers on ebay, got £40 worth to sell
-Got a cheque from a mystery shopping company today
-I'll try and do some nvq homework
-I'll start writing counselling assignment
-I'll do some surveys

Thinks thats it for me today, am feeling rather tired after the training course today

Hi Everyone - hope you've had a nice day so far.

Today I have or will:

1. Listed over 60 books onto Amazon
2. Made lunch from scratch using cupboardy stuff
3. Photographed MORE stuff to go onto eBay
4. Scrabble around the house for more clutter to sell!
5. Opened my post - urgh!

Definitely a web focussed day today and my bum is numb on the chair!

Hi All,

Sorry I've not been posting much - been really tired and falling asleep as soon as I get home. But in the past week I have

• eaten breakfast on the way to work
• worked an hour's overtime Monday - Friday (earning £14 per hour!!!) - However, have started a morning ritual of latte @ 10:30 and buying lunch at work (must get motivated to do extra dinner and take that in)
• tried to have LSD's at least 2 days this week
• printed off all my payslips and noticed that I have been getting my overtime rate for some of the time and standard rate for the rest of the time . Called the agency to check, and they are going to correct for Friday's pay :T.
• While I was on the phone to the agency they said that I had won a competition that they were running. Basically, it was who could get the most points in a certain amount of time. You were given 1 point for each hour you worked (for me it was 41 - 44 points per week) and 1 point if you answered each of the 3 weekly questions right. I thought that I had not won the comp as they had not called/emailed. So, I was really happy when they asked me where I would like the voucher for. £25 Next voucher winging its way to me!

So, today I had planned a DVD day, but instead, I popped into town and changed up my 50p and under jar. It was actually a LS shopping trip. I managed this by....

• had breakfast before I left home
• parking in a council carpark paying £1 for 2 hours rather than paying £1.30 per hour for the shopping centre carpark - mum paid
• using the coinstar machine in Sainsburys to count up my change (I know they charge a fortune, but I did not have full bags of change) £34.33 £4 to my Sealed Pot, £30 to spend on clothes/debts and 33p to go in my change jar
• mum treated me to a coffee
• I needed to get petrol, so I called up the local supermarkets and asked them the prices. Mr T was cheapest £1.05.9 so I went there (it is also closest to my home)
• bought cheap mince, and I will shortly be making burgers and home made chips
• bought jacket potatoes for lunch at home rather than buying lunch out

Think that is about it - hope everyone is ok, and I WILL post everyday and generally be a bit more committed to MS!

Take care
Candy xxxxx

Glad everyone has had a good day. Went for lunch with my friend - her treat - then had a wander round the shops and market. Didn't buy much at all, spent £2.75 on fruit and veg and £6.99 on huge box of Thorntons continental chocs for my dad, still a bargain though as they are his favourites and are usually £13.99 a box:p. Total spent in town £9.74 -not bad .
Just come back from having swim and jacuzzi at the gym and ready to snuggle down for the night with a dvd. DD is out and OH off to work any minute so will have a quiet night:D

Evening all,

My dfw things for today;

• Filled up a small bottle with water so if we were thirsty we would have something rather than do an emergency buy a bottle of expensive juice/water
• Heating has been off all day
• Didn’t wash my hair today only because I was rushed for time after staying up late doing brain training on DSs Nintendo DS Lite – guess it saved shampoo
• Reorganised a couple of storage boxes in en-suite and found some change I had thrown in about 1 month ag I had forgotten about
• Greggs – got DS a bridie used 50p luncheon voucher paid 22p cash
• Boots – got DS a choc bar reduced to 15p but was charged 10p at the till also got a free ltd edition NO17 Lip pallet (I think it was because they are officially opening up a few new shops and renaming shopping centre on Thursday – only got it when I asked after seeing 3 people on next till get given free gift and I wasn’t offered it!)
• Topped up with £5 petrol at BP as there was hardly any left until I got to another cheaper petrol station (got Nectar points)
• Filled up with another £15 petrol at Tesco at £1.0309?/ltr and got my Tesco points
• Tesco – DH paid for shopping (inc. the £1 Tesco pizzas - on offer) – I reused bags and got 6 points
• Received till spit for 25 points when buying TV Times
• Brought TV Times (which I was going to buy anyway) and used above till spit and also got 4 points for reusing bag
• Brought D. Express, D, Star and More magazine in WHSMiths (got 2 points on my WH smiths card), used 20p, 25p and 80p coupons off the 2 pages and mag
• Collected free drink from Holland & Barratt using voucher in D Express
• Went to Focus and collected my free plant using voucher in D Express
• Put new plant in existing plant pot which had a dried up dead plant which I hadn’t got round to replacing
• Made chips with some of the reduced bag of potatoes I got for 30p yesterday
• Carefully unwrapped DS late birthday present from sister as she brought some nice Thomas the Tank Engine wrapping paper to wrap DS presents (to be reused in future)
• Found 20p
• Spotted another 5p later which I got DS to pick up for his piggy bank
• Got interest updated on DS’s savings account
• Cut out D Express coupons to put in purse
• Washing done at 30deg and line dried outside taking advantage of dry weather
• Did a couple of mutual point clicks through e-mails
• Will check pigsback later which I very rarely check as it is rubbish now
• Walked to Farmfoods instead of taking the car

That’s all I can think of
