  • Evenin' all,

    Today I have:
    -done 6 hours of overtime at work
    -only spent £25 on weekly shop instead of usual 30/40!
    -took homemade lunch with me to work
    -checked freebies and grabbits boards

  • I have had a good NSD
    Took lunch to work and ran out of time to get cash out of the ATM so managed without coffees.
    Daily free cards -10p
    Looked into Holday and cheaper to book on line via quidco than in shop saving £600 from quoted price so will book after dinner.
    Dinner from the freezer.

    Hi all, today I have had a NSD, which is just as well as I had to give the £340 to the electrician yesterday:eek: .

    1) NSD
    2) Casually asked OH to pick up the paper when he was out, cunningly avoiding paying for it.
    3) Got nephew's bday present using e-voucher from Toluna, and went through Quidco.
    4) Packed lunch at work, freezer dinner and packed lunches made up for tomorrow.
    5) Bagged 2 free Marley and Me tickets - for OH's bday quite handily.
    6) Entered comps
    7) Looked for some free / cheap things to do with kids at half term. I'm on leave then too, can't wait.
    8) Scratch card x 10p

    I'm considering joining Bingoport, is it worth it and if so does anyone want to refer me?
