Hi all,
Candy – Hope waxing went well and glasses are fixed
Mickey Mouse – Hope meeting with friend goes well
My Mess – welcome to the thread
TallieDebtBuster – one pair of my fleece pj bottoms which I got in M&S sale earlier this month were for something like a 12-14 year old too. Tried them on and they fitted so I brought them. LOL:rotfl:
Sophiesmum – good shop!
Pipsmum – sounds like you got the same D Mail offer as me – yes I looked and looked and didn’t see at catch either. I think it will just be random M&M money off coupons on certain spends rather than exciting gift vouchers.
AngelFlower – what a cute puppy!
My dfw things- NSD for me (which is very unusual for a Saturday but I reluctantly didn’t go out as DS was too lazy this morning)
- Breakfast - continued to use up open box of Ready Brek rather than a new box of cereal
- Tidied out kitchen walk in cupboard (a few empty boxes still to go up in loft, a few items put into garage, found DH missing woolly hat and 1 pair of boots to put into charity bank and two bananas in DH bag.
- Lunch – ate the two bananas and finished off DS’s noodles
- Lots of housework done today which means tomorrow I can concentrate on sorting stuff out to eventually photograph for Ebay
- DH’s sister & family popped round so was able to give her a birthday present without driving round to their house (thus saving time and petrol)
- Did 1 mutual point email click through
- Washing done at 30deg and hanging indoors
- did a bit of sorting for things to Ebay
Tesco points: 101 (£21.50, £19.50, £7.50, £21 & £5)
Boots points: £0.28
Pigsback points: 715 (4 xBoots£10 & 1 xPizzaHut£10, 2 x £10 clothing vouchers)
