  • Good morning everyone,

    No snow here but still flipping cold.

    Today I will;

    Do 7 mystery shops (busy day)
    A NSD for me - I don't count mystery shopping as that's work
    Continue knitting my scarf - the wool was free
    Collect bags of wool this evening from a kind freecycler for knitting blankets
    Son is going to his friends after school so he'll have dinner there
    Store cupboard dinner for me

    I think that's it for today, have a great day everyone and keep warm.
    I won't buy it if I can make or borrow it instead

    Morning All:hello:
    Crisp and clear this morning.
    Busy week this week so can only pop in. On stage every night now :p back end of chorus, singing loudly but off key, in the most unflattering costume that anyone could muster; I can't believe I do it for fun. :rotfl:

    Today I have/will
    • put a wash on at 30 & will dry on airer
    • Juicy Brains have upped my total to £5 so I have claimed my Amazon voucher before they cease :D
    • brought in HM soup for lunch & some fruit so that I can eat a little more healthily. (Bashed bananas reduced in Tesco last night.)
    Can anyone tell me if I charge my phone over the computer, whether it makes the computer use more leccy? Or is charging it like that free?

    Have a good day everyone :D
  • hey everyone

    I've got a few days off work and I'm looking forward to relaxing! Today I will:

    - de-clutter - for stuff to sell and i'm sorting out books to give to friends or family
    - go home to my mum's - she's going to feed me for a few days and help the relaxation
    - freeze last nights leftovers for lunches

    have a good day everyone and happy moneysaving today

    Morning all. Grim day here again, people losing their jobs. Hoping I'm not one of them.

    I've screwed up by getting up late - no packed lunch and had to have brekkie in canteen. But otherwise will try to have a NSD, put on a low energy wash tonight and make PROPER packed lunches for DH and me tomorrow. Have checked online banking and will cash a cheque for £100 today. And will do some more toluna clicks and slice the pie ratings (made a grand total of 60p yesterday!)
    Debt cleared! [strike]£13,128[/strike] £0!!!
