    Evening courses and voluntary work, i know that feeling!! Thats why i am so glad i don't have to go anywhere this weekend, makes a nice change when you get to stay in the house!

    Hope you have a great time whilst you are away and enjoy your birthday.

    Hi

    Off to Egypt - sun!!!!!! I bet we have nice weather here while we are away - just look at the sunshine.

    BF and I agreed that we wouldn't go mad and do everything and buy everything we like. We only clutter up the flat!

    Oh well - better get moving or it'll never get done!

  • Beautiful sunny day here, and I am wearing my blue sparkly socks to celebrate. Off to work in a bit which is of course the most DFW thing I can do- it also means that a NSD on a Saturday is achievable.

    -Done daily scratchies-20p+25p
    -Storecupboard breakfast, packed lunch and storecupboard tea
    -NSD
    -Check for MS- lost one to another shopper just as I was signing up for it!
    -Check onepoll for surveys
    -Do one more Dooyoo review to reach my second £10 Amazon voucher!

    That's it for me- have a great weekend everyone.

    Ps Got a great balance transfer LOB 5.9% rate from Amazon CC today - just phoned up and asked and they said yes. Never tried it before but worth a try phoning your existing cards to ask if anyone else needs a better rate. Thanks Martin!!

  • morning all :hello:
    yay, the sun's come out!
    Busy day for me today...
    • eating from storecupboard (just had dippy eggs for breakfast as needed to use them up - how good are dippy eggs?!? :drool:)
    • checked my banking and two people that owe me money have paid me (for holiday booked through quidco :D)
    • I have used a #5 bet on betfair that gets refunded if I lose but I get #49 if i win (cross everything!!)
    And I will
    • go and buy 2 x work presents of vouchers that people have paid me for - no way of getting baby GAP or John Lewis vouchers with any cashback or anything I guess :confused:
    • collect my dry cleaning
    • do some washing on 30 and dry inside whilst I'm out voucher shopping!
    • meal plan for my lovely abel and cole box that came yday
    • read a book that my pal lent me
    • buy some visitor parking permits for outside the flat :mad: not very DFW but it's #5 a day or #2.50 an hour if you pay and display... you need to buy them in advance and you can't exactly charge houseguests for them! :rotfl:
    • go to a houseparty and take our own booze :beer:
    • not go to the football :( even though my team only play in London twice a year :(:(:(
    have a lovely Saturday
