    Morning all!

    Today I have/will...
    • Brought lunch to work (bagel from bottom of the freezer and fruit)
    • Will have tea made from reduced quiche from Mr T and HM wedges to use up potatoes
    • Have checked bank/CC/quidco
    • Do any surveys that come to me
    • Have transferred £50 into current account to stop me going overdrawn - was a bit ambitious with the savings this month but have still managed to squirrel away £250 for Xmas and car service
    • Clean bathrooms
    • Walk dog for free exercise
    • Speak to mum about looking after dog whilst I am away with work (saves on kennels)
    • Pay parking ticket - not Money Saving but its £30 instead of £50 if paid promptly - was only 5 mins late back to the car too!! BOOOO!!!!
    That's it for today.
    Have a good one!

    Hey everyone.

    I'm back... I had a lovely relaxing weekend away from it all at one of OHs friends houses. it was a cheap weekend for me all in. I am now back at work and in a bad mood though... it's take too long to explain so lets just move onto my list.

    today I have/will

    -forget to put my lunch in my bag so have to pay for something out of the vending machines... ARGH!!
    - do my second shift with Samaritans (saving electricity in the flat)
    - tidy up a bit before heading out tonight
    - not loose the rag and get myself fired (that wouldn't be very money saving now, would it?
    - read my library book so I can have it finished before it is due back on 11th.
    - check banking - all as expected

    Have a good day everyone,

    See you all again tomorrow.

    My heart knows me better than I know myself so I'm going to let it do all the talking.

    RE: Quidco
    I have always found they pay quickly & on time, I have never had a problem with them in the last two years.
