Haven't posted for ages (it seems like it anyway). Moneysaving and debtbusting went out the window over the weekend sadly, although it was wonderful fun.

Today I have
- taken lunch to work (left over chicken stew from the slow cooker)
- raided tesco for yellow stickers and got some lovely stuff for the freezer
- turned a suggested night out with a friend into a night in with a bottle of wine and a dvd
- one globaltestmarket survey
- daily scratchcard - won £20! Withdrew that and made a payment to Egg.

need to make a real effort to get back into moneysaving, a week off is coming up soon though so fingers crossed should manage to make some money then.

Evening all! Haven't had chance to read the thread yet, Il catch up in a min, hope everyone is well.

Haven't had a NSD as I have managed to spend £125 in opticians, bit of an emergency really, as I broke my other pair, managed to get 2 pairs bogof, both designer, so quite chuffed with them. Apart from that its all been quite boring!

Pip's Mum= this is the thread. http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=826963&highlight=sneaky+ways. Some great ideas on iy.

Today's DFW actions have been-
-NSD- woohoo- these have been few and far between this month so I'm chuffed to be able to tick off another.
-Check for MS
-Went to gym to use membership, swim and enjoy a very long hot shower.
-Leftovers for tea- delicious
-Bake my own bread rolls which will do for lunch with soup tomorrow then lunches for rest of the week at work.

Think that's it- hopefully will do more tomorrow as have a day off- yippee!

Since I posted earlier I went to the museum/art gallery - saw Yoko Ono's 'between my head and the sky' exhibition - seriously terrible, it was!

Anyway, came home, pleased with myself for having a NSD, to find an email (or rather about 10 emails) from friends informing me Duran Duran are headlining a festival in London in July :j :j :j :j :j :j

NSD out the window, as I immediately bought my ticket, but it's for a great cause so I don't care less! One very hapy bunny here
