    :mad: to gone off thighs-how very dare they?
    :j to visitors who think that far North is softy-South :rotfl:
    :naughty: to playing Bingo which costs - but it is apparently a good idea to play occasionally otherwise we will speed up the demise of the freebies
    :confused: to matched betting :o

    Morning All :hello: Gorgeous sunny day here in very soft southern England :D

    Today I have/will:
    • The PERFECT present for the girl who got us complementary tickets in the West End last night - the show was FAB FAB FAB and we even had a coupon for our drink at the interval :j But in my pressie box is a present that was reduced to £1 and is absolutely in keeping with the show :D:D:D
    • persuaded my friend to have a bowl of noodles beforehand instead of going to the pub or worse McDonalds :eek: The noodles were healthier and cheaper - apart from her having coco cola instead of tea :rotfl:She felt much better for it too :D
    • scratch'n'click - and I may play a game too, just so as they keep the freebie going......
    • on-line banking
    • didn't make a loaf this morning, because I couldn't find the paddle :confused: Eventually found it in the base of the previous loaf which had come out like a brick :o :rotfl: So I haven't brought in lunch
    • Being taken out for supper tonight :D (so might skip lunch today anyway:o )
    • must do on-line banking :o (oh I said that earlier - it must be preying on my mind :D )
    Have a great day everybody. :D

    Morning all, very sleepie Kage this morning. Reading all the great threads on mse kept me up until the wee hours!

    My small things for today include:

    Charge mobile at work (Thanks for this cheeky tip, my parent's pay for the electricity but at least I can say I'm helping).

    Call Pipex and RAC about cancellation policy and renewal dates.

    Storecupboard lunch (will have to snaffle this before noon though as meeting my girlies and don't want to be tempted out and about).

    That's about it for today. Although, I was wondering, could anyone give me advice on how to begin Daily Scratchcards? You all seem to be doing so well.

    Have a good one folks

    hello everyone.

    Beautiful sunny day here. Warm too. Only got work today - free night tonight so going to make a start on pegging out the garden for how I want to design it. I want to make the raised beds at the weekend (although still havent sourced wood). Going via diy shop tonight for potting compost and some of their free trays/pots to start planting the seeds for putting out in a couple of weeks. Is it possible to make a cheap propagator using cling film?

    - [STRIKE]scratch and click[/STRIKE] 20p, 25p, 4p, 1p
    - [STRIKE]check online banking[/STRIKE]
    -[STRIKE] check cc online[/STRIKE]
    - catch up with some friends via facebook
    - try be frugal. went to M&S for a sarnie this morning but it doesnt open till 9 - whats that all about??
    - plant seeds
    - write list for diy shop and stick to it
    - catch up with some diaries on here - not been doing it since they have moved
    - try find out whats happening with my equine insurance via quidco - its petplan just not going through and is in enquiry stage and changed to validated but no sign of any cash (bough mid december) Need to cancel it at the end of this month as horse going back but dont want to lose out
    - work hard and try not be on internet ALL day LOL

    Have a great day all
