Skint mum, how lovely for you, hope you have a wonderful day on Saturday.

Great news about more money for you pips mum.

Debt free me, how awful, so annoying when this happens, hope it gets resolved soon. I often wonder if people who comitt debit/credit card/cheque fraud ever get done for it. I know they didn't when they did it to us and yet lived in the same block of flats!!

Not a bad day so far today, but due to central heating being put on too early this morning i have quite a bad headache.

Small list for today but busy nevertheless!
-Done daily scratch cards

-Posted cheque and cash into bank whilst i was there
-Have paid OH some of rent money
-Did some food shopping on way back to car, saves me making another trip
-Bought lots of half price flapjack bars which are my fave, so am well stocked up with them
-Will update spreadsheet to reflect spends for today
-Went to charity shop and treated myself to a type of bag that i have always liked the look of and was only £2.99
-Also bought a nice top for £1.50
-Have taken gas and elec meter readings and inputted in site
-Have done boring household jobs
-Sorted out dry clothes
-Hung washing up outside to dry

Skint mum, hope you have a wonderful day on Saturday.

Debt free me, what a nightmare! They was a lot of that going on where I live, peoples cards were getting cloned at petrol stations. Needless to say I now use cash at the petrol station and if I don’t have any I don’t get petrol.

My dfw things for today;

• Breakfast = none – didn’t have time L
• Working from home today
• Lunch – cereal that needs to be used up (didn’t want to waste time making something)
• Posted 13 Ebay items sold yesterday and 2 items I’ve been meaning to post to friends for about months
• Got call from police station to say somebody (lovely honest person!) has handed my phone in (I lost it over the weekend). They didn’t want a reward so I wrote them a thank you note on a card (from my stash of cards) and brought them a lottery ticket.
• Asda – used about £2 in money off coupons
• E-mailed all my Ebay buyers to tell them their items have been despatched
• Re-used lot of used envelopes from my big envelope stash I’ve had for years. Surprising running low on padded envelopes now.
• E-mailed my sisters to keep any padded envelopes they don’t want for me (I can’t see me buying any!)
• Got a card through the door for a free medium sized pizza from Dominos (valid until 26th) - no catch.

Sans - just a thought I shoved an email around at work and was besieged with padded envelopes.

Worked like a charm everyone was trying to get rid of them but didn't want to bin them.

Pips_Mum

Good tip Urg, Thanks

Mypoor little seedlings look a bit sory for themselves. I really underestimated how warm the little greenhouse got in the day and they have all wilted:eek: Hope they will perk up?

How is this for cheeky, I wanted some balloons for Pips Naming Ceremony. If I order a display containing 3 balloons it costs £8.95:eek: If I order 3 balloons seperately and tie them together myself it will cost £3 :T. Cant believe they rip people off like this?

I am so glad its sunny, having little money and debts doesnt seem so bad when the sunshines does it?:j
