Will do my list in a bit but just wanted to say....I'M GOING TO SEE NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK TONIGHT!
Not DFW at all as the tickets were £45 each and I've paid for 2 as no one wanted to come enough to actually pay that much! However, they were paid for months ago and my friend that's coming with me is paying for dinner so it's almost like I'm getting a free feed....almost.
Oh I'm so excited, I feel 14 again! lol! I need something fun after the stress of my scan this week (thanks for all the good wishes BTW) xx0 -
Hi Guys,
I had to get a friend to book my travel tickets for going to see my family (£53) because I dont have a debit or credit card
When I asked for her bank details she said no, this is my treat for you :A
That was so nice of her, I felt a bit overwelmed!
Today I have/will:
*done comps for the first time
*check online banking
*go to benefit office as there is a problem with my claim :mad:
*buy a birthday present for my nephew
*eat store cupboard meal
*pack for going away to a friends on sat :j
Since I am going to se my family in a few weeks, Im buying all their birthday presents to take with me so I dont have to pay for postage :money:

Hi everyone, thank crunchie it's Friday!! Feeling slightly better today although still not 100%. Been into work for a couple of hours this morning as had some urgent stuff I had to get done, but home now with poorly DS, with a ton of work to do :rolleyes: . My friend came over to mind him whilst I was at work, and when I came back she'd cleaned the two scrambled eggs pans I had soaking and had hoovered downstairs for me

Anyway, today's list:
- Free scratchard £1 for logging in plus 10p
- enter at least 10 comps
- Bingoport running in background whilst I do my work
- 5lb bag of potatoes I got for 10p boiling as I type - when done will make mash and freeze in portions
- check freebies and grabbits boards
- quidco clicks
- check online banking
- although missing out on free school meal, will have storecupboard lunch and tea
- got a few surveys to do
- NSD if nothing too good to miss on the grabbits board
That's it for today I think. Have a great day everyone :beer:
