    today i charged my mobile overnight at half price
    done scratch cards - major win £1!!!! have now been able to withdraw my first amount. not bad to get to a tenner in just over a month for free
    got a load on a quick wash, hope it's quick enough to catch the weather outside to dry
    yesterday went to a crop, and bought stuff in the sale (planned), and someone was decluttering their stuff so got some lovely papers & magazines for free, and also some bread of all things from someone else.
    going to do my online banking
    cleaning and tidying to keep on top of the decluttered home.

    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.

    Well done you (very nice) cheeky monkey!!!!!! This site rocks!!

  • Hi all!

    Sophiesmum, you go to bed at 4am and get u by 9.30 and think it's a lie -in? Omg, I'd be dead on my feet doing that! I went to bed about midnight and struggled to get up at 8am for DS' footie! Was blummin freeeeeeeeezing on the sidelines today - was doing this to stop me from freezing to the sot --> :j

    Today I have / will:

    - post here to keep me on track
    - returned empty packet from chinese meal deal to Asda as they charged me £6.48 instead of £3 :eek: - I had phoned last night when I realised and they said I'd icked the wrong one up, but there were laods the same on the £3 shelf so I stuck my ground and they agreed to refund the difference - also got £2 giftcard :T Pre MSE days I wouldn't have bothered!
    - free scratchcard
    - drying (some) of the washing on airer (towels etc need to be in the dryer)
    - received fab compilation cds from a friend in the post yesterday so uploading them to my i tunes today - there's nothing better than free music in my book!
    - reading all old mags etc to keep entertained and declutter
    - going to post on freecycle see if i can get a phone to tide me over until I can get an upgrade in April as mine has died :-(
    - storecupboard meals
    - update spending diary
    - enter at least 10 comps
    - check out freebies and grabbits boards
    - take photos s stuff ready for ebaying (not gonna say I'll actually list them cos I'm hacky lazy lol

    think that's about it for today - have a great afternoon, all

    :j its Sunday

    Today I have/will

    - checked bank account
    - checked Quidco
    - gone to WW - lost 4 evil lbs (back to my 'starting weight')
    - called the AA to ask about their bolt on for membership where they pay for repairs on the car (£90 for the bolt on then we pay £50 (ish) per repair - it covers things like the head gasket). Will go through Quidco later on today - having to borrow mums cc and pay her back ASAP
    - will make soup for the week
    -will chop up carrots, onions and celery to put in the freezer (will save time when I make soup)
    - will enter more comps

    Think that is about it, take care everyone
