    Oooh Pips Mum, you are naughty.

    1) Scratch x 10p
    2) Checked banking.
    3) Only bought what I needed in Boots and did not get sucked in by all the offers, points etc etc
    4) Got a couple of dirt cheap HSM things in Sainsbury's and put them away for my niece's bday in June.
    4) Borrowed a badge maker from work and have just been helping B make loads of Twilight badges out of her magazines. They are at least a quid a pop on ebay, and we have made about twenty for free! Plus, they are different to the ones her friends have.:j
    5) Am doing a Book People order through Quidco in a minute to stock up on pressies for later in the year as there are some good deals there at moment. (ETA - the two sets I wanted to buy had an unexpected extra fiver off when bought together - and I found a free P&P code to use on here! Woo-hoo, even more bargainous!)

    Scary thought no mse for two days, first thing I do when I sit down with a cuppa is have a quick catch up on here.

    Might have to do a "What dfw things are you doing Fri, Sat and Sunday?? post:rotfl:

    Not sure what i will do without the board either, am thinking i may have to create an even longer list to compensate for the lack of mse and the more time i have:rotfl:

    -Work with children
    -Funding has come through so can buy all special needs stuff i want, its fantastic!
    -Have treated two clients today
    -Had my two clients book in for further treatments
    -Have taken a further two bookings for my business
    -Sold scanner for £53
    -Meals at home so no buying food on the go
    -Took drinks with me so no buying drinks on the go
    -Have done daily scratch cards

    evening everyone

    Great to see so many returnees back grouphug3.gif

    Had quite a good day actually. Got a bit of a shock when checked banking today as a payment that was showing as having gone out yesterday isnt there any more. I wondered if it was because I was about 50p short but then I wondered if it is because I did actually cancel it like I had planned days ago. Am confused and will need to wait to see if I get letter with nice round bank charge confused.gif

    - checked online banking
    - moved some money round (again - I shouldnt be doing this Grrrr)
    - scratch and click 25p, 10p, 4p, 1p
    - checked pigsback - found a clickthru hyper.gif
    - ate from stores - nice pork and mushroom thing with sprouts
    - checked seeds - one pumpkin up!!
    - did 2 hours work in garden creating a bed for my fruit bushes and hammering up a willow screening fence. Got a neighbour who keeps staring at me now which is uber annoying and is putting me off wanting to use the garden
    - got fooled by the thing on Martins email today rofll.gif
    - DD wanted Twilight preordered so I made her get online and showed her how to research which site was cheapest and then made her go through my quidco
    - Had first NSD of the month cheering.gif
    - dryed a washing load on the line

    Think thats all to report so far. Still need to do some work on my 101 list too but getting stuck. Hope you are all ok. Off now to do some reading for my latest TMA which is driving me nuts. This one is a week late and got my last one in a month. Never got all my paper work done over last couple of days but will tomorrow after doing some work in garden.

    Hi,

    Can you tell me what the code is?

    Mum wants to buy the grow your own drugs book - I hope that this isnt her new sideline :confused: ....it's £6 rather than £10 in the shops + quidco cashback!
