    Hey guys,

    Hope you are having a fab weekend. So far today I have:

    Gone to do my weekly shop at Tesco - did a proper list and got all the cheaper brands
    Done some ironing
    Washed up instead of using the dishwasher
    Counted my 20p savings and had £10.20!!!

    I'm going to the pictures tonight and we are going to the one with the free parking, and OH just gone to shop to buy diet coke now so we don't have to shell out the extortionate amount in the cinema.

    Yay!
    Goals for 2010 - pay off £3160 debt. Come on Pamela!

    Afternoon everyone!!

    Just torn myself down off the ceiling as I have just had a birthday party for myself and my nephew, house full of food and fizzy drinks...I was hyper on sugar!!!

    Ain't done a lot regards being a DFW, but I've had a NSD which is good.

    Got to go out for a few bits and pieces tomorrow, but I've also got to go and collect my winnings from the bookies (had money on Denman at the Gold Cup yesterday) so should hopefully be another NSD


    Have a good weekend everyone x

    Hi Again Guys,

    Im in love with my hire car :o wont want to give it back! DS loves it coz the radio works :rotfl:

    Been to Oxfords monthly swap shop for the first time, took in kids bike stabillizers, kids welly boots and a top. In return I got a computor keyboard, 5 books and a picture that my sister would love.
    Went to marks & spencers, using left over vouchers from xmas (£5.52) added 23p and got pasta, spaghetti, apples, carrots, 2 x Jammies dodgers and a packet of piggy sweets :T
    DS has had a tantrum with his nintendo DS- which has broken it :mad: I have told him he has to pay for a new one of wait till oct for his birthday, when I will pay £50 towards one.

    suzbro- quidco clicks are no spend links on there, and you still get cashback.
