    Stoke lady, i think it is only fridays where you get an extra £1, or thats what i have noticed currently. Still, money is great money! Nice to have you posting on here.

    Hello!!

    SM - good to hear that you are bit better - look after yourself and Andan - just take it easy!

    Today I have:

    - Scratchcards (woohoo £2.85 total today!)
    - racecaller (did manage 2 out of 4 winners yesterday)
    - curly quizzes
    - booked tickets for cash back bingo
    - had appointment with recruitment consultant
    - spent £10 under budget at pet shop
    - received book by my favorite author from Amazon, paid by free Amazon voucher and ordered with a book that I needed for my "big plan" so came with free delivery
    - And most importantly pray that the garage has received a new key for my car from the dealer so that I can have my car back. I will call them in couple of hours to find out. :( Called and no, can't get my car back and can take to next Friday :(:(
    - check online banking

    I will

    - sort out stuff in the fridge
    - Send Tax and bank details to above mentioned recruitment agency
    - update spreadsheets and signature
    - continue putting books on shelves
    - go to local stables to buy wood chippings (cheaper than pet shop) - didn't have time as tried to figure out what to do with my transport problem

  • Hi All

    Today I have/will

    -Got paid for mystery shop, alot quicker than I thought I would, so into ISA along with my Petrol savings and 12p to round it up to a nice £10 :D
    -Checked online banking
    -Surveys
    -Finish pasta from yesterdays lunch for todays lunch
    -Buy boyfriend birthday present through Quidco
    -Check for mystery shops
    -Free scratch - 10p. I did a survey on the site and got a £1 bonus, can I withdraw that when I get to the withdraw stage?
    -Check some things on Cex and Music magpie to sell. Cex don't seem to send you free postage stuff like Music Magpie do, so would it be better eg: I sell a dvd to cex for £1.30 but have to pay postage or sell it to music magpie for 30p and pay no postage?
    -Ordered my new Boots card coz lost mine months ago and keep getting the reciepts validated then they run out. Got over £8 on there so that's good! :D
    -I just got 2 stars on here woo woo! :j :D :T :j :D :T

  • hey all

    had a bit of a disasterous trip to boots :(

    had a receipt to get added points on but they didnt do till the end so no free lunch today :( then, when I checked the reciept they put through the cheapest items through first rather than in the order presented so never made the most of my lunch deals today.

    Also just realised that £5 off No 7 is actually quite a lot. Next time am in going to check if it means I will be able to claim any freebies!!

    - payday today - its all gone already
    - check online banking
    - phone Npower as gas meter not working and no heating. (very quick to asnwer and had someone out within an hour and a half - V impressed)
    - get points added from old Boots receipt
    - make a PAD to cc
    - pay council tax
    - update sig to show debt repayments made this month
    - meal plan for next week
    - take budgeted cash out bank and then lock up all my cards. Will have to survive only on what is in my purse
    - miss out on a night out with work tonight as have to save the pennies
    - sleep with gloves and hat on tonight - did it last night and made a big difference
    - try have early night - am feeling pretty wiped this week
    - make first payment of holiday (if when i get home I find I can afford it.)
    - raid the biscuit tin at work, am very hungry last few days for some reason
    - must deposit my money to bingo to start these free daily scratchies!!!!

    And that is me..... enjoy the rest of your day everyone :)

    • Clean the house (does anyone else find this seems never ending.......................)

    Tell me about it...I'm sure there are little elves that go around the house messing it up when I'm asleep (some would refer to them as lodgers, I suppose!)

    Well, so far I have...
    • Checked online banking
    • Done scratchcard
    • Checked my Quidco...£111, yay!
    • Put my Mazuma cheque in the bank (walked there and back :A)
    • Popped into HomeBargains on the way home and found the very pyramid cat bed my mum's been looking for ages for £4, hurrah! She's very pleased, as I'm sure the moggy will be :D
    • Still counting it as an NSD because she'll give me the £4 for that ;)
    • Was treated to a cafe brekky by my lovely daddy!
    • Snazzy new phone arrived...must resist temptation to turn it on before it's fully charged!!
    • Checked ebay...up to £41, hurrah!!!
    • Checked MS site - £34 on it's way to my bank, £20 to follow next week!
    Still left for today;
    • Clean bathroom (It's my turn on the rota...but mysteriously has not been cleaned since last time it was my turn on the rota...it's not gonna be pretty!! _pale_
    • Take down dry laundry belonging to lodgers that are all over my living room & put them in their rooms...I know I should let them do it, but they'll still be there next week and I'll be much less stressed when I'm not looking at them!)
    • Will be having storecupboard tea tonight.
    Enjoy the rest of your Friday, everyone! :D

    Angelflower - boots £5 no 7 voucher will get you a nail polish for only £1.12:j , or a good way towards a mascara, cleansing make up wipes, make up brushes etc. I've started getting goodies now with the vouchers towards my DD's xmas stocking gifts:D
