Now all I have left to do is convince my Boyfriend that £400 isn't an entirely reasonable figure to give someone for cleaning his car, and I can go to bed happy. (though I have to admit, it's now one VERY clean car!)

Please tell me that's a typo!! :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

AW Cleosmum - hugs to you.

Not much to report here -
Went to boots couldn't figure out what to get with the money off things without spending lots - pathetic huh so didnt get anything - will put it on my list tomorrow and see what folks suggest


OH just put in 60 for his flight from Jan - it seems I am an interest free loan service - he classically says 'oh i will get that - to be fair sometimes it arrives sometimes it gets lost in the mist'
So will put that to my hairy loan
Another NSD never mind trying in boots
Found 1.30 so that went in my dotty pot
Mad a jam turnover thing with 11p pastry and some water and sugar - kids thought it was great - so that's something
Tea was reduced chicken breast (40p) casserole and dumplings - yum
DD daughter had an almost free omelette - 2 free eggs - 1 free onion stalk as 'spring onion' and a bit reduced cheese from the fridge - I did smile when I thought of its cost (block cheese was 13p) so must have been close on 2p tea?? for her anyway.
Slept on sofa for 2 hours tonight - so that saved any trips to tescos - lol

Got ANOTHER - boots card today for some odd reason?? Wierd
Darwin needs insured - but not sure i can do this through quidco/cashback as its only specialist places that insure them - might give it a go though. Thought of spending 170 and not getting cashback very:eek:

You see am learning - still a bit glumsome - but seeing a glimmer at the end of the tunnel xx
Hugs to you all - off ot catch up on the thread properly
