Hi all :hello:

Not a very DFW day really but here is my list nonetheless:

• Day off today so used much less petrol than of at work
• Did the grocery shop last night and stuck to budget
• Made decision not to attend slimming world group anymore as don't enjoy the class and can put the £20/month towards a swimming pass instead. Will still follow it and do my weigh in every thursday night either at mums or using scales at Boots
• Dentist this morning - spent ages worrying about it as thought the appointment was for second part of root canal treatment...but that had already been done a few months ago and so was just a 5 minute check up! :j And it was free as part of my treatment course! :j
• Got information on teeth whitening (want to do this for the wedding) Use to be £450 but now £180. Told mum about it and she said she will pay for it for me as a birthday present! :j I love my mum! Will do this in March
• Had a bacon roll and a cup of tea in Morrisons afterwards Naughty I know but was first real food treat in ages. Only £2 and I stopped myself getting a full english!
• Returned lib book to avoid fine
• Reserved a DVD - much cheaper than buying
• Visited my nana
• Visited my mum
• Visited a friend
• Visited another friend! Done the rounds today!
• Will now check online banking
• Prepare storecupboard tea
• Was due to go out for a couple of drinks with a old friend tonight but she is poorly. Instead will drive to social club with OH and take no more than £3
• Continue to sparkle
• Catch up on rest of thread

Hope poorly people feeling a tad better and everyone has sparkled in some small way today.

Love to all

-Wash up all small bottles i got from approved foods and fill them up with the cheap big bottles of pop i have, means that i will grab them before going out, instead of buying one when i am in town

I do this but with a few Innocent Smoothie bottles (donated from colleagues) and a big carton/bottle of not-from-concentrate juice or smoothie from Tesco

Hi All
-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?

If it's Littlewoods or any of the other St Miniver sites then yes you can - I've had 4 or 5 of these bonuses since I joined up on 22nd Dec and today withdrew £10 of my £11 balance

Well my trip to the shops resulted in me spending money....90% on things I needed. Oh well could have been worse I guess

Just realised, further to my previous post, on the St Minivers sites you lose the £1 survey bonus but can keep the £1 log in bonuses. Sorry for any misunderstanding!
