    Hiya everyone

    Feel a lot brighter today. Got feedback from uni - it was just because I haven't studied recently. Really happy cos at least I can do something about that! I've emailed various colleges to enquire about courses and wills tudy for a year then apply again for 2010 :j

    Also emailed a couple of places for voluntary work experience

    Then the usual - banking, surveys, clicks etc!

    Will also read through this thread once kids in bed as I like to steal people's MS ideas! :p

    Hi all

    today:

    Checked banking - £10 from Littlewoods Bingo has come through so that has gone in the mortage pot.
    Took half day lieu from work to go and work at PT job - should be an easy £25 next week
    Found a slug in spinach from Sainsburys last night so emailed them, they have emailed back saying they have credited my Nectar account with 2000 points! Yay!
    Booked flights to Moscow for summer holiday - not DFW you might say but my parents are paying for me and BF as it's their 40th wedding anniversary holiday and they want us there! (My brother and his wife live there and will have a new baby by then!)
    NSD (so far) - if I make it till bed time I will have hit target!
    Scratchies - 10p and 50p
    Sold a book on Amazon last night but waiting till tomorrow to post so I can fulfil my final target of NSDs (is that bad? It does say dispatch within 2 business days...)

    Think that's everything :)

    How about one of the OU courses in a related subject ? They have some starting February usually.

  • Morning All!

    Another NSD day for me today - only thing I'm paying for is Ebay items postage, but that's being paid for by buyers so it doesn't count!

    Today I have/will:

    [STRIKE]- storecupboard breakfast/lunch[/STRIKE]/dinner
    - Free scratchy - got 20p! First time more than 10p!!
    - Check bank online - yep, still skint!! :D Should have MS payments going in today though.
    - Go for a walk/jog (we'll call it interval training!) and 1 hour on the Wii
    [STRIKE]- Send off Ebay items[/STRIKE]
    - List 20 more items for ebay - Arm is too sore, will do them tomorrow :)
    - Price up & write out payday shopping list - all in, including showergel, toothpaste, non perishables, veggies etc etc should be just under £31...:D includes treating myself to some non-manky coffee!
    - try to find a £10 De Vere room to go away for my birthday in March :) still looking!

    I've also been to Aldi & got 49p spuds and broccoli - having baked potato, beans and cheese for tea and am currently making the crisps from the recipe on cooking by numbers...http://www.cookingbynumbers.com/frames.html hope they're nice!!
  • Hi all,

    Last night I spoke to my eldest child and grandchildren for HOURS (They are sill in the USA) on the yahoo telephone thingy, so it didn't cost a penny :T:T

    Today I have.
    1) Got a pyrex jug and mixing bowl for 20p each.
    2) got about 20 pounds worth of food that was on the date for 7.50
    3) walked into town
    4) Only took 10 pounds with me so that I could not spend, and only bought the 20p stuff. :cool:
    5) got some books out of the library.
    6) Made HM pizza and salad for tonights dinner with the haul of OOD stuff, still loads left and for the freezer.
    7) will give the rest of the pizza and salad to the twins to take to school tomorrow for lunch.
