    ((((((((((((hugs))))))))) Milly, hope you feel better soon xxxxx

    Re: WW online, I have been doing it for about a year (joined thru Quidco with a code, as you do!! ;) ) And even though you dont go to a class or anything, I found it invaluable and it really worked - I have lost just over 2 stone since May 08 - and more importantly, am maintaining it! So go for it!!

    My day going well - Mystery shop completed, easy £10 - just got to upload results.

    Tesco shop completed - saved £12 with MOCS and stuck to list! :D

    Lovely sunny afternoon, back doors open, happy mogchops! :j

    HI Everyone

    Thanks for words of encouragements (and bullying). Have made good progress. Never fast enough but have made lots of notes and ideas for further thought as I am going. Taking a break for lunch and then back to it.

    Hope you are all enjoying this lovely sunny day! I am having to make do with an open window!

  • Hello, everyone. Got another packet of 3 boneless shoulder pork steaks same price as yesterday. Happy now, because it will last til next Wednesday including what I bought yesterday. £1.55. I'd say that wasn't bad all around. Now, if only the ridiculous price of milk would come down. :D

    Hi everyone - an exciting day today. My mum has just gone hotfooting it to Brighton to look after my nephew as my sister thinks she is in the early stages of labour.:j

    1) Scratch x 10p + 50p log-in.
    2) Received a £10 Topshop voucher from Pigsback for my present stash.
    3) Clipped MOCs received in post.
    4) Clipped Tesco points coupons from post.
    5) Went to play barn using season ticket.
    6) Did a cheap shop run. Picked up tinned food in Poundland and got some lovely Jordan's cereals in 99p stores. Parked a walk away instead of paying to use the car park.
    7) Printed wagamama 241 voucher and hinted I would like to go there on Mother's Day!
    8)Responded to a Freecycle request for Brownie uniform. The little girl was thrilled and I was pleased to see it go. The Mum asked T why he didn't want to use the Brownie uniform. I pointed out that he is 3. And a boy.:D
    9) Checked out comparisons for renewing my car insurance. Will go through Quidco when I decide, but it will be very cheap as my car is worth about 43p.
    10) Received Mr Thrifty book from ebay.
    11) Bought yummy Pizzas for tea for only £1.20 each. Far cheaper than Pizza Hut, and they are more likely to be hot as well.

    Looks like another evening in front of the TV, and waiting for the phone to ring with news of the new arrival. Can't wait!

    I don't have the lab coat, but I could probably lay my hands on a blue jcloth (err do scientists wear them as mob caps or is that doctors?)
