Have persuaded OH to walk DS1 to footie this morning and not use car for this.
Put change into Sealed Pot
Iron school uniforms tonight - exciting life I know! Also start new filing system and attack MONSTROUS pile of paperwork! :rolleyes:
Decide on money neutral - ish gift for my mum for Mother's Day
Decide on birthday gift for brother (new personality? free, will do all who know him good, and I may actually start to like him again - harsh I know, love him, but hey ....
Add up Emergency Savings total so far so that I feel am getting somewhere with it.

so far today i have made an overpayment on my credit card, used my gym membership, spent a ridiculously small amount on my weekly shop in asda and then gave accurate meter readings for my gas and electric, far less than the extornionate estimates which appeared on my bill. I am going to pay a little more than i intended on my haircut this afternoon (£30 i think) but have consoled myself by remembering i havnt had one since october!

Hi

I have been lurking on here for ages but this is my first post. I have been a member of quidco for a couple of years and shop through it a lot. Can somebody explain to me what quidco clicks are? I do the piggyclicks already but can't work out the quidco ones.

TIA

Andan - they might come up yet - but maybe the seed is a bit old - sorry if it is x

Sounds like you will have monsters on your hands soon. xx

Not to worry Fay, i am more than happy with all the lovely seeds you sent me and i will start sowing some more seeds soon. It was more advice on my lettuce seeds as to what to do about them! I will leave them on the window sill a little longer then and see if anything happens.

Marru, congrats on the date, i hope it goes well.

morning all

today am going to take an not very dfw drive up the coast as its such a beautiful day. want to go to the beach with the pup and have a bag of chips at the newly crowned best in UK. Its fab there but always a long queue.

Might go to cinema later - will see. I think I have a money off coupon somewhere so will check that first and see.

got another blinking bank charge letter today - something bounced cause they took a different charge out. Am so mad. Hoping they sort out my hardship claim very soon.

- done my scratchies
- checked up on fave threads here
- light wash so can hang on radiators tonight (must do some ironing soon)
- having a night in to catch up on paperwork and uni stuff - am now 3 weeks behind
- breakfast and lunch from storecupboards
- take stuff out freezer to make a nice sunday dinner


Thats probably all for now - have a great saturday

Well the postie has been and he has kindly brought me a money off coupon also a freebie/competition win of some rimmel lasting finish loose powder foundation, would originally cost £8, so i'm happy!

Have also checked business emails and read business website for advice and ideas. I have also completed typing up anothe observation for my child study and reviewed my 101 goals.

So despite the lack of time, i have managed to be fairly productive today!

Today I have overpaid a credit card (my 0% balance transfer one which i had cleared but added more to it as my deal runs out in August - I never spend on the card and it has already gone through my shredder:eek: ).
Washed the sheets that I stripped off the bed in the week (it was raining and I didnt want to hang them out). Now they are line and airer drying.
Have watered my seeds which have started to sprout:j I shall be looking forward to fresh salad leaves, mini cauliflower and tomatoes.
Need to have a good tidy up.
Sort out dinner - must get something out of the freezer for tomorrow, maybe sausages.
Sort out my paperwork and tackle the pile sitting on top of the shredder.
And probably a myriad of other things that I cannot remember right now.
