    Not much for me - still got my £20 HMV vouchers (from Valued Opinions and Pigsback) in my purse and may take a little wander around their later - nothing I particularly fancy though;
    Will check Quidco for that £40 quid or so that is ready and waiting for me!
    Will be walking back to the car tonight thereby saving me £1.20;
    WIll check whether the bestplan proposal I got from Orange is actually the best plan for me.
    Almost debt-free, but certainly even with the Banks!

    • buy first class stamps from Superdrug - 5% off and the price is about to go up! DONE

    Morning everyone :hello:

    Tuesday again already :rolleyes: Don't the weeks go by quickly? I didn't post over the weekend or yesterday because I was so busy. I had loads to do on Sat, including setting up new broadband because @0l had annoyed me so much, and was inundated with visitors on Sun. My grown up kids, their partners and kids (and dogs) all decided that they would descend on me as it was Mothers Day, and I could cook them lunch:confused: It was lovely to see them though! Yesterday I was recovering (and back at work of course :rolleyes: )

    So far today I have:
    Checked online banking
    Seen to animals
    Brought packed lunch to work
    Charging mobile at work

    Not NSD today, as I have to get my hair cut later this afternoon, and will probably pop into Boots and Mr T's as I will be in town anyway.

    Walk dogs later for free exercise
    Storecupboard supper

    Have a nice day everyone, and hope the poorlies feel better soon!
