• Washing done and hung outdoors

Sophiesmum – thanks for starting the thread
Andan – cant believe how long your list is! Hope you get it all done
Boopydoo – hope you and OH are able to sort everything out, MEN, who needs them…my hubby had the same attitude (and still does), but he has been buying ‘bits’ for me recently as I am not working
Mogchops – congrats on the car boot total

Sorry I’ve not been around for the past couple of days, been really busy in the garden. So far this weekend I have:

Saturday
• Had a meeting at Job Centre, and ‘signed on’
• Looked at Learndirect courses – I need to wait for the letter saying that I am officially claiming benefits
• Breakfast at home
• Read DM in library rather than buying it while hubby was getting his eyes tested
• Hubby took pitty on me and bought me lunch and paid for parking in town
• While we were in town, we popped into the bookies and checked on a ‘free’ irish lotto ticket. Not a winner, but we entered their free sweepstake thing where you predict the scores of 5 matches. You get a prize for each correct prediction. Hubby and I entered, and he got a prize (need to cash that in on Monday)
• Went to Homebase armed with 15% off voucher from WW mag and bought shelving and some things for the garden
• Watched a film on Sky rather than buy/rent a DVD
• Phoned ISA provider to enquire about withdrawing funds. If I withdraw, then my ISA gets closed. I will look at Quidco for another.

Sunday
• Went to WW meeting and had a free glass of water rather than pay for a bottle of water or a coffee
• Breakfast at home
• Stole some midget gems from hubby (will replace them soon)
• Done some work in the garden (replanting seedlings into new homes etc)
• Replied to a ‘job alert’ I had from an agency

Think that is about it, take care everyone.

Did some washing which is pegged out on the line, used my cable phone to make calls to another landline - as I get free weekend calls:j didnt spend any money today. Had leftover chicken for lunch - I went to the chippy yesterday for chicken and chips and then left the chicken to go cold for today:D

Hello All

Everyone seems very busy.

Went to flat for first time since dodgy lodger moved out.
Was pleased to find he has left many cleaning items that I can now use and a few storecupboard items.
The flat was actually in pretty good nick and only minimum work needed before we can relet it.
I have had a MASS clearout and I am now Ebaying it all, 1 item down 30 to go!!!

Mogchops well done on the car boot, money is money!

Cashless wonder, great total for some cds and dvds.

glad the flat wasn't in such a bad condition pipsmum, any news on when you are letting it out again?

Well my list is coming along splendidly and only have eleven more things left to do, although one of them is rather big! However i have got much more done than i first thought, which is always pleasing.

Hi Sans,
Didn't know you got a point for re-using a bag at Boots - thanks for that.
Did you use the 2 vouchers together? or in 2 transactions?

Well done Mogchops on the car boot
Well done Elsas mamma on the 'family £5 a day on food challenge'. I've tried a £1 a day per person challenge (in my head) but it all seems to go out the door when I see a bargain!!
