Morning everyone
OMG SM, that's so scary!
Lucky the firemen arrived on time 

Not much DFWness yesterday:
Aldi shop then Sainsburys shop to get things we couldn't get in Aldi. Used MySupermarket so I think we got everything quite cheaply.
Went to cinema to see Doubt with free tickets from PT job (not a brilliant film)
2 glasses of wine for price of 1 - was on my own so was sneaky and got 2nd in large glass topped up with soda, then poured other one into it when there was space. Stopped me looking like an alkie!
Bought a few more drinks after cinema for BF and his friend.
Today:
Checked online banking - all fine as is Sunday
Have to go to the allotment today so will research planting garlic, apparently it is the last chance
Going to see Revolutionary Road with free tickets from PT job - if we have time
Lunch with BFs parents, Strada 2 for 1
Out tonight with work friends but shouldn't spend too much
Daily scratches - 4 x 10p
Have good days everyone xx0 -
an extra big Goooooooooooooooooooooood Morning as I haven't been around for a few days:D
I will go and read the thread in a mo.
I got marooned at my Mum's on Friday. It was my day off work and I went to see her in Bournemouth . There was no forecast at all of bad weather her way . I got down there ok and then we went into town. When we were shopping there was a snow blizzard and then it didnt' stop snowing all day. I managed to safely drive us back to her flat (about 20 mins) but no way could I drive back to where I live as the snow was too heavy . So i stayed with her the night and came back yesterday - road v icy but took it easy. There was nothing where i live at all.
Soooooooooo today I will be doing ...
- daily clicks
- comps
- scratchcards (2 x10p)
- meant to be playing a tennis match today but not sure if it will be cancelled or not
- been paid for my mystery shop
- make some cards
have a great day everyone:D£2 savers club 2025 #40 -

Hi all
SM - hope your oldie is OK - must have been very scary and I bet it still smells of smoke everywhere. Hope you managed to get some sleep too.
Off to rugby soon so will be back later
Getting there...slowly!
GC : must do better
NSD: very rare
No matter how slow I go I am lapping everyone on the couch.0 -
Well, apart from a couple of hours the other evening, I've still not used the heating all Winter.
Now that the cheque has cleared, I'm using some time limited 0% money to pay off other stuff which is either at a higher interest rate or would have put me above my overdraft limit - incurring charges.
I made a small PAD to another CC.
Found 5k of spuds in Sainsbury's for £1.98.
Topped up the diesel tank on my van as it looks like the price is creeping up again.
Going to look at the finer print on some of my insurances today with a view to cancelling some of it (I have no dependents).
Going to do some work later once I've verified the temperature is above zero.
Brought my van hosereel in last night to avoid it freezing (it's in the kitchen LOL).
I do intend to finally update my sig tonight from the receipts I have as it is well out of date.
Will be banking some cash and cheques into the cashpoint a bit later.0 -
