Hey all , spent a bit more than I'd like today, but desperately needed some groceries. Oh well, one cannot live on love alone

Lilly - so sorry to read about your horrible time of it at the Benefit Office. I hope it is sorted properly for you very soon. On the plus side though, what a wonderful true friend you have.:T

1) Daily scratchcard 10p + £1
2) Bought 24 bottles of V water for £2 - DD loves the stuff
3) Online survey
4) Used MOCs in supermarket
5) Used season ticket for T's usual playbarn outing
6) Cancelled my Blockbuster DVD rental They only ever send me the choices that my OH puts on. I think the person who picks them out shares his taste in films!
7) Arranged to pay a big scary bill in interest free instalments. Phew.
8) Cancelled my DD for our annual English Heritage membership - and paid for it in Clubcard Vouchers instead. Yay!

Lilian - hope you enjoy the NKOTB concert (from my era – ha ha)
Lily – how scary! Glad it is being sorted now!
Spendaholic chick - that is a very nice gesture from your friend.
Poppy – well done on getting more cash, reducing bill

My dfw things for today:

• Used free sample of face cream
• Breakfast– had at parents house as dropped off DS

· Boots 1– got some book ends from their 75% off sale items (paid with points
· Dentist – was suppose to go in to see Hygienist but Hygienist’s car broke down and wasn’t going to come in. I got a scale an polish instead for £10.08 instead of £21
· Superdrug – got another 3 different bead necklaces (to cut up for card making) 10p each and a Topps Card thing 49p. Two necklaces did scan at 49p but as I took them from 10p section and other necklace was 10p cashier said she would give them to me at that price. I wouldn’t have paid 49p for them to cut up tbh.
· Packaged up Ebay item sold
· Took glass and ripped carrier bags for recycling
· Found 2p

• Posted off Ebay item sold

· Boots 2 – Got 6 x Pantene hair sachets and No7 nail file set, paid about £5.85 and got £6 worth of points back. Then used the points to get passport cover and padlock set from their 75% off sale items and another item in the clearance section reduced to £3 (was £15), both perfect for friends birthday and X’mas present

· Asda – used money off coupons of a few items I was buying
· Popped into Job/ revenue centre/ council place to use phone to update on our salary (actually needed DH and not mines for 2007 – 2008 period). I didn’t have it but at least I didn’t use house phone to ring 0845 number and listen to hold music for 10 minutes
· Bank - put in some money and also used their phone to phone about mortgage as staff had no did what I had been requesting since last December! I was given number to phone and do it myself! So I thought I’d use their phone! :A
· Did a few mutual point email click thoroughs
· Work colleague emailed to say my Boots purchases I had couriered up to work safely:T

Still, I am about to make yummy dinner and have had a very lovely evening so far with t'other half so all is now well in Fresian Towers

Evening all, anyone about?
well not too bad a day today, ive tried to eat healthy but my recipe turned out awful! Last night i got a hot dog and fries from IKEA so bad!! But was only 90p!
I spent £2.70 today, Body shop had a burner on mega sale i loved! And i used my discount card too so it was cheaper than sale price! I resisted buying their new lovely oils though! Then £1.00 in the pound shop on Johnsons cotton buds. I got free juice and cabbage in Morrison’s today, and some free beauty bits and crisps from my boots points. I got through my Change4life pack too, its fab!! Lots of stickers and bits. I know its for kids but its so good!!
Ive added change to my sealed pot too.
Has anyone heard from Pipsmum? I hope she is doing well! Wonder if she had a boy or girl!
Im having a Friday night in, watching friends and true csi. Trying to think of some ways to get some more cash and next month be good! I might have to go back to doing some overtime if there is any at work, ive got to seriously kick myself into gear re finances after a mortage interview today. I need a huge deposit to get a decent interest rate. Tomo with a mate looking at a place she interested in, this may be my motivation.
Hope all you feeling poorly feel better soon. Mbaz...uni will be not too long, did you apply through UCAS or the uni direct? I used to work in admissions at Roehampton know the systems well! I got my exam results today too! Passed 66% for the module very pleased!!Lilly...gosh what a mare, they are horrible places at least its sorted now.
Guys, are the Tesco clubcard vouchers due? Havent got mineL

Good to see you are up to your usual bargain hunting Sans! Are you back from Surrey now?

Shame about the overtime flying fresian.

Tallie, pipsmum, had a boy called Aiden. Think tesco club card stuff is due beginning of feb. Sounds like your really geared up for your new place.
