Pudding is now covered in chocolate and setting in the fridge, assuming it doesn't all fall apart when I get it out the tin, I'm going to have to take a picture and show you guys. I picked a fairly simple dinner tonight, coz after making this most of the day, I am tired.

Right, here goes again!

It's been a funny old day, it's the 11th anniversary of DS' open heart surgery which he had at 18 days old, and I always get a little emotional

First day of half term and all I've done is wii fit, guitar hero and facebook! Still, there's another 6 glorious days of no work so I'm sure I'll catch u with housework etc somewhere along the line!

Anyway, today's list:

- post here to keep me on track
- free scratchcard - 10p :rolleyes:
- piggy click!! omg lol
- phoned A&L as my payment was late last month and they'd removed my 0% deal - told a little white lie and said I'd been away so they've removed charges (almost £60!) and reinstated o% deal til July - phew!
- phoned Lloyds to see if they'd refund o/d charges due to me goign over my o'd limit for one day. They refused so I've decided to reclaim bank charges from them - that'll teach em!
- sort out sky/bt - not sure which one I'm using for calls or which is best deal
- make DS eat the tea I made for him last night that he wouldn't eat, for tonight's tea
- storecuboard brekkie and lunch
- food shop in Asda as cheaply as poss
- post Halifax cc agreement (openend for BT ad quidco cashback )
- drying washing on airer
- update spending diary
- surveys
- enter at least 10 comps
- check freebies board
- bingoorting this eve


Think that's about it for today

2) Lovely free day out. Went down to the river with friends and fed the ducks and got very muddy.Finished off with a trip to the park.
3) Online scratch x 10p
4) Received my Tesco CC vouchers so can get cracking with booking our summer holiday.

Off to concoct something for dinner now, have a good evening everyone.

Hampster If you are getting up at 5am anyway can you pop round and feed Pip so I can have a lie in?:rotfl:

Fay glad you explaind the recycled coffee!!

Feel I need to clarify that I havent been abusing my child and making him point at things (picture I posted at weekend for those who didnt see it and think I am a looney!!) He just did it and I found it hilarious!!

• Meal plan tea
• Surveys
• Keep heating off
• Put cans and plastics out for recycling

Today I have:

• saved nearly £20 on the weekly shop :T used some money-off vouchers and made use of storecupboard stuff, plus hope to make lots of treats with DDs over half-term to save on buying biscuits and sweet 'treats'
• put washing on airer to dry - we don't actually have a washing machine but I alwasy feel virtuous saving on the electricity of a washing machine, especially being as OH's mum offered to buy us one

As well to do later:

• check online banking for charges coming out
• go through 'to do' file of bills and file anything that needs it, or make a note in diary of things that need dealing with

Not loads I know but getting into DFW'dom slowly and steadily and it all helps!
