Hi All,

Sorry I've not posted on here in the last couple of days, its just that I have the Black Death!!!

I have lost my voice, and until this morning, I could not gather up the energy to do anything!

Today I feel a bit better, so I have:

Not spent any money (haven't left the house for 4 days)
Checked my online banking
Not been to work (I think that I will have all week off) - the only downside is that I will get SSP rather than full wages (I had budgeted for a full month)

Think that is about it, my hubby will be here to take me to Boots for Drugs (using points from my card of course)

Hope everyone has a great evening.

Take care,
Candy xxx

Hi all,

Got lots to do so will just list a few things that come to my head:

• Homebase used 500 extra points and 10% off voucher
• Washing done at 40 deg and drying indoors
• got a couple of reduced books in Asda
• Thorntons - got 2 bags of imperfect chocs and cleaned up a few and reboxed them for DH's Xmas
• Wrapped up some of DH's xmas presents (reusing a random box and reusing some brown paper to cover it)
• Next clearance - got 2 sets of placemats and coasters for under £10 (Dh's xmas present), 1 5pk of socks £1 and 1 baby cap 50p
• The SUN - used free Sun coupon
• Finally received payment for Ebay item sold on Friday night

That's all I can think of.

Evening all, im so jelous i love choc orange!! though it gives terrible headaches that combination!!

well i got my storage sorted, its 50 pounds a month but i have 4 weeks free. mad i know, but it will make things easier with less junk at home and when i get my own place this time next year ill have place to store everything. its just like the rent going up an extra 10 pounds a week!

anyways ill get into budget mode again with that.....im going to order food in a bit as i think i need calories!!

does anyone know where i can get good storage boxes cheap? the ones in big yellow were 12.99 each!!!

:hello: Hello to everyone!

I am reading this thread to cheer me up after a terrible day at work. I am so fed up there :mad: . However, I do remember to be pleased to have job in this climate when so many are losing theirs which I am so sorry about for you _pale_ .

Right today I have:

Posted 2 old mobiles to environfone (won't get much for them but better than nothing!):D

Registered with Pinecones:D

Had a NSD:j

Took a HM lunch to work;)

Having a storecupboard tea

Will ring mum later with free mobile mins:D

Not too bad then afterall. Isn't funny how many small things we can do that don't mean trying too much? Now I am concentrating on the NSDs I have to really think about not going to Mr T at lunchtime for a 'look' and this is making me focus on the storecupboard HM meals for lunch and dinner. It is getting easier as time goes on but I still need to try hard.

Apologies for the fedup tone tonight as I really do feel fed up. Am going to make some chocolate cornflake buns to cheer me up and my work friends tomorrow as I could really do with some chocolate!

Hope to be more cheery tomorrow!

You're on a roll now!! all this money! Well done on getting your charges back, that takes a fair amount of determination :T

I've learnt to be very VERY stubborn and never take no for an answer When a bank says, "No" they really mean, "Send us another 3 letters and we'll give in and give you your money back".

I've still got a complaint in with the FOS for miss-sold PPI by Sainsburys, and I'm awaiting a response from Egg over my 1st letter to them regarding miss-sold PPI. If I'm successful with those, both credit cards will be closed instantly and leave me with one solitary credit card left :j (Then again, can't count my chickens!)
