:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:pmsllll!!!!! No secrets, he's just wonderful!! :A (most of the time... )

Welllll.............no hope of a NSD today - tyres got done - £130 :eek: but paid in real money - no CC! :T Just hope can make it through the month on whats left!! :o But car is very happy with 2 new front tyres. Sitting there all smug on the drive - but all I can see in my head is two front tyres covered in £10 notes!!!! :rotfl: *note to self: stop obsessing with money!! :rotfl:*

Had a good shop in Tescos though, stuck to list and used MOCs, no reduced bargains though - must have been wrong time of day...

Have had a lovely though tiring afternoon looking after my 20 month old nephew - which incorporated exercise (walk to the ducks) and entertainment (feed the ducks) then walk to school to collect DDs (more exercise) then get home and play (more entertainment). :rotfl:

Younger DD is now off on her first sleepover.....hope she is ok! I'm sure she will have a lovely time.

Older DD is playing outside on her bike, DH is cutting the grass front and back :A:A and then he's going to cook the tea - stir fry chicken with noodles. He is a star!

Mogchops - where do you get the MOCs that you use?

Anywhere and everywhere!! This week has been good with the Sun ones - £1 off nestle cereals every day. Get some on ebay, some in magazines - but only if profitable obviously - like Star mag, 65p, but usually has a MOC for OK mag for £1.50, so thats 85p profit plus free read. Also printable ones from couponet and the like. There is the printable thread and the magazine thread, both in the discount codes/vouchers board.

Sometimes they have promotions in store - if the promo people are nice, you can get handfuls!!

I also spend a lot of time on PTS (www.paidtoshop.co.uk) which is pretty much all about Tescos, because Mr T will accept coupons without you buying the product. So I am a Tesco Tart!! :rotfl:

But hey, it pays for my holidays!! We are going to Southern Brittany this year, lovely site, luxury 3 bed mobile home, and taking my mum & stepdad too (in a separate caravan mind!!) and its all paid for with Tesco deals. Over the last couple of years we've had holidays, days out, theatre trips, hotel breaks, meals, magazine subscriptions.....the list is endless!

I have a miserable Mr Ts only seem to take coupons for things I buy :mad: Im good at tesco points though got £40 plus on thier way in May.

Aaaaah thank you for that:A
I'm only doing a small shop in Morrison's on Sun to use my sister's 10% off card, but will investigate that site and everything else for my Tesco shopping next weekend:p

Wish we had a Tesco near us.

Drat double drat.

We have MOCs at home and always forget to take them with us.

Have taken to reading my fave mags in the supermarket before starting the hell that is food shopping. Very MSE, don't buy the mag yet still get to read them!

My three pet hates in life:

Filling up with fuel (the car, not my tum - that is a joy to do - yummy yummy)
Washing and drying my hair (right pain to do)
Food shopping (having to mix with the natives, not exactly the nations most desirable residents seem to shop at our local supermarket. If you are not stocking up with cases of meths cider then you are in the minority!)

Will take a look at the PTS website (that is the PAID TO SHOP and not PUT TO SLEEP site).

How does Ebay work with MOC?? C'mon share your secrets? LOL

Thanks Milly!!

The Mogchops Mob have returned from a really lovely day out in Lyme Regis!! Very lucky with the weather, was blowy & overcast to start with, but turned into a lovely sunny afternoon. Our cheeks are glowing!! :rotfl:

We only spent on parking, ice creams and ok, I'll admit it, fish & chips for tea!! It had to be done - eating fish & chips out of the paper by the sea!! We had picnic lunch though, and I had made up enough bottles of squash to see us through the day! Its amazing how I've changed - pre-MSE, I would have just bought bottles/cartons of drinks & not even thought about it!

Had a lovely time just wandering about, walked out on the Cobb, sat on the beach, girls loved it all. Spent ages on the fossil beach - we found 5 good samples to bring home!! Am soooo chuffed!! Could have easily stayed fossil hunting another hour, but the tide was coming in!!

It was really worth it, to have a lovely day out together, so glad we did it!

Back to reality now.....

pixiechick99

Awww sounds like such a lovely day out:D Fish and chips just HAD to be done and I just love the fossil hunting...gets addictive that searching!

Don't think we're going this year with the children, different teachers this year so maybe not, but I must try and take my 2 down, they'd love it - even eldest, age 12, might stop being cool long enough to get stuck in!:rotfl:

Mog-us Chop-us!

Smashing way to spend the day and very MSE too. Its the little efforts that add up for sure.

MR GG made us some lunch today and I only ate half a sarnie and he said he eat the half I left and he said "it needs eating up and I don't want to throw it away! What a waste!" Then gave me a sly ole wink.

Briefly looked out of the window and its gone very dark out there and its resembling a scene from a horror movie, when the rain is heavy and the sky is black, all we're missing is some chilling music.....

I know us horsey peeples are wanting the rain as the ground has been so hard lately and it will help the grass grow for the summer, this is ridiculous! Been raining all day. Might have to send the dog out on its walk on its own......
