    Morning All :hello:
    So today I have/will:
    • done my on-line banking, and saddo that I am, I'm really looking forward to the end of Feb when the figures will be SO tidy, as another cc bites the dust :D :j
    • Scratched -25p :Dand another 25p today :D
    • thanks for the reminder-I'll go and spend my Boots voucher :D (How do they make money when they keep giving £5's away and so many of us then spend £5 + pence? :rotfl: ) The No7 shelves were severely depleted, there was nothing I wanted and the coupon expires today, so I've lost out :mad:
    • Washing sheets, so at 60, but will line dry as it is sunny and blowy - nothing beats the smell of garden dried fresh sheets :Dthey were lovely, and I tidied my bedroom too and it was lovely to climb into them last night. :D
    • Not DFW for me, but when Lodger talked about claiming unexpired TV licence for her Mum, who is now in a nursing home. I told her she should not have been paying for one for YEARS - her Mum is well into her 70's. Does anyone know if you can claim back overpaid TV licences? And when did the free-for-over-70's licence start?
    • Quiz night tonight -£10 for supper out :D and as I'm driving 50p for a large glass of juice is a great bargain :D:oDS2 joined me, we had a great time, I even won a bottle of wine in the raffle. But his cider cost me £10 :o :rotfl:

    Today I'm staying in and cleaning DS2's room with him. Ready for the carpet fitter to come tomorrow. I'll buy a Sunday paper, but otherwise a NSD, a go nowhere day - just what I want/need. :D

    Hahahaha - just saw the £120 cashback offer through Quidco for a new Vodaphone contract - the £20 contract is exactly the same one that I have with O2 so I phoned O2 to ask for my PAC code - and they're sending me a £150 cheque if I stay with them. HA! I win.
