Hello
Hugs and happy thoughts to those in need.
Today I will:- Keep heating off as snow melting away
- Walk into town with Pip (first venture out on our own so wish me luck!!)
- Look in cheapy shops for toiletries to stock up on.
- Had email from approved foods and they have refunded £13 from my last order as stuff is out of stock, its a shame as there were loads of sauces and bits that were going to be really useful.:mad:
- Daily scratchcards
- Any surveys that come my way
- Try and focus on the huge form HMRC sent me to fill in for tax credits.
- Tea as per meal plan
- Lunch from leftover last nights tea
- Check Ebay - selling not buying, selling not buying, selling not buying!!
- Look in Boots to see if I can get any of the FAB bargains that you lot all seem to find!!

· Ive started to sealed pots, one for silver and one for coppers
· Search for cheap mothers day gift and card
· Plan to have next month payday the least amount of spending ever
Not much done so far, but just had my lunch. Mushrooms with cheese in the oven...scrumptious!!!
Have had my cheap cooking magazine through too with fab recipies in. Will read that on the train later to the foucs group. Will bring a bottle of squash with me too and snacks so i don’t buy any!!

Ooh good luck Pip's Mum- have fun.
Claireabelle I just bought an extra charger on eBay for 99p so worth checking there if you haven't already.
Day off today and car is at the garage, but need to venture into town in a minute to do some posting.
-Done daily scratchies- 60p
-Packaged up eBay parcels ready to send
-Return jogging bottoms that are too big and exchange for different style- this is something that i have been so bad at in the past, hanging onto thing s which don't fit is such a waste of money.
-Check for mystery shops
-Check for more Onepoll- getting so close to the £40 threshold
-Have a good old tidy up at home- OH is still asleep from being on nights, but once he is up I will tackle upstairs.
Think that's my lot, but i I think of anything else I will update later.
