    Hi All,

    Hope everyone is feeling a bit better (hugs)

    I've not been around for ages - other things have cropped up :rolleyes:

    Money Saving Things Done Recently
    Saturday
    • walked into town (saving parking or bus fare)
    • Hubby bought breakfast
    • searched around for a higher rate saving's account (it's really hard to remember who owns what banks - I have recently found out that Natwest are part of RBS :o)
    • Checked online banking - nothing has really changed
    • Put change in my sealed pot
    Sunday
    • Shopped around for cheap petrol filled up with £20 - mum paid 1/2 :j
    • Treated myself to a coffee in town when meeting a friend - cheaper than meeting for lunch or going for a drink
    • Parked in council car park rather than the shopping centre carpark
    • Went to Iceland for dinner £15 for 6 meals (there are 3 of us)
    Monday
    • checked online banking
    • treated myself to coffee and a cereal bar at work (coffee was budgeted, however I went to Tesco after work and stocked up on cereal bars as one at work is 99p :eek:)
    • Had to buy a sandwich as I had not taken bread out of the freezer - bought the cheapest possible one
    Today
    • had breakfast before I left home
    • made lunch - chicken sandwich and homemade soup
    • bought a coffee at work (had one of the cereal bars to go with it)
    • chased up Quidco for a missing payment (£110 for L&G ISA) - should pay soon fingers crossed :rolleyes:
    • left enough money in my purse for 2 coffees (resisting bagel or cereal bars)
    OMG my list is almost as long as Andan's - but mine covers 3 days


    Hope everyone has a great evening - brrrr it is really cold here. I have had to put the heating on in the room as I don't want to get a chest infection this year.

    Take care

  • Have been meaning to post all day, but kept getting interruptions :confused:

    Woke up still with horrible sore throat etc,
    Took ds to english lesson on bus,
    bought christmas presents from boots 3 for 2 and Dads favourite aftershave got extra points for going over £30 again.
    Ordered annual for kids online from whsmiths, bogof and extra 20% voucher
    Good friend went and bought stuff for rainbows activity from Asda to make marzipan mini fruits sprinkled with icing sugar. Had great fun colouring marzipan were like a couple of kids.
    The rainbows really enjoyed the activity too (I originally was going to wag off coz i felt so bad, but was glad I didn't)
    Fish and Chips for tea not mse but they were nice especially with curry sauce, but I was so knac.......... (tired) that i didn'care.
    I am now numbing my throat with last nights red wine.
    and mooching on here

    Was never going to be 2nd poster today, so I thought I would go for last of the day. :rotfl:
    Off to burn some more olbas oil in my bright prink fluffy sock that dd bought me last xmas. I am missing her more now, but not sure if thats because I am feeling under weather and have been brooding about it today.
    My finances are work in progress.
    Normal veiwing will resume shortly
