Morning all. Am going to be spending a bit of money today but some of it is towards a cake order I received, so don't feel to bad about it

The other is buying a decent set of scales as I am fed up with being a different weight each time I step on my ones.

So today is payday and as we are remortgaging this month we don't haev a mortgage payment to make which is FAB as it means I can claw back some of our overdrafts. Today also:

Checked online banking
Sold three items on amazon for profit of £23.60, to go towards barclaycard
No packed lunch, naughty, and breakfast in canteen, naughtyu (only 95p though)
Cupcake ngiht tonight, so will be making a little cash there
More pie slicing towards my jan total
free scratchcards
polls and surveys
not putting the heating on this eve if poss

Anyuone else using imeasure? I'm finding it really useful for tracking how much I'm spending on gas nad electric - pleased to see that apart from last week, for some reason, I'm lower than most people in similar houses, and also am about right for the DD amount I'm paying. Really focuses you on thigns like turning off lights and appliances though.

misspiggy - hve been considering turning down to 30 (currently use 40 for washes) - do you find it any different? - does it wash ok lol

Hi Natalie - I've turned mine down to 30 and have noticed no difference whatsoever, and I've switched to cheapy powder and fabric conditioner as well! No one's commented on the smell so far ha ha! I get my powder & conditioner from home bargains or netto and they're sound, I'm really pleased with the results.

Why not just give it a go and see if you're happy with the results?

Have just put in to switch from E-On to N-Power and NPower have responded by reducing my bill by £15 a month...bonus! Let the bidding war begin!

Well for today's list...

-check bank balance online
-free scratchcard
-toluna polls
-physio appointment
-laundry
-send back DVDs now I have cancelled lovefilm/blockbuster
-send back TNS form so I can start MSing for them
-phone work about OH appointment
-NSD?? If I can bring myself to get off my lazy bottom and walk instead of getting bus today!
-spanish class
-Put at least 5 items on ebay
-look into earning money from singing...any advice greatfully received here! May post up a separate thread for this one.
-scrambled egg + smoked salmon (well, I felt the need for a treat, so got smartprice smoked salmon trimmings for 88p, a respectable splurge I feel!) for brunch

You will all also be pleased to know that there is now a padlock on the secret ice-cave...my plan is complete, mwahahaaaaa (well, not quite complete, they still live here, but at least my milk is safe!)

Have a good day everyone

Welcome to the newbies.

Halight, sorry to hear that you have lost your job, were all hearing that too often now, hope you find something soon. Same too you Nic25, this recession is causing so many people upset and dissapointment.

Piq, shame you don't live nearer, i would of happily massaged you better!

Debt free me, congrats on getting an interview

shopaholic, i hope your feels/situation improves soon and you feel better within yourself.

Sarah999, i use imeasure and find it great. Can't decide whether it was good or bad, but mine was almost identical to the bill, wasn't happy with the bill amount!! I do it every week.

Miss piggy, what about a spa day, virgin do a spa day thing where two people go and they both have two treatments and get to use the facilities for £99. However you can also pick them up on ebay, hence why i am always looking. I got this for my mum and my sister and they loved it.

Cassey, hope you feel better soon. Certainly think there is something going round again as all the women i work with and me included are complaining of headaches and generally feeling unwell.

had my LBM *eep*, going to make my lunch for tomorrow so I can have a NSD, tried to ring my OH so I can get back some if not all of the money he owes me to at least get back into my interest free overdraft. Have paid my uni fees as well so that's over and done with. birthday at the weekend, hope I can get some money so I can pay those back a little as they went on the credit card.
