Good afternoon!

For Pipsmum, you have worked so hard for today so now just ENJOY!!!

Before I go and sign for bad mother's club I confess that I slept past midday . I can't believe that 1. I really was able to do that 2. DD let me. That means that we missed the church fair today that I was really lookig forward to but on the other hand I saved myself that tenner that I had budgeted.

So this weekend I have/will:

- Scratchies
- Curly
- Cashback bingo
- Hokey Cokey
- Clip piggies claws (ummm - that is 70 in total :eek: (claws, not piggies :rotfl:))
- Dream of finding a rental place where I could keep chickens and cats and get another dog too (no plans of extending the number of rodents mind)
- Go do some shopping (hoover bags, something for colleague that she will pay back and whoopsie hunting in Mr S while getting milk)
- Go to library
- Take DD to playground (Sat)
- Take DD to Longleat (Sun) and use passes
- Invite some friends for tea (Mon)
- Big book sort out and furniture shift around in sitting room
- Meals from what is in except Sunday might get burgers in Longleat for lunch
- Tidy all dry washing away
- Online banking
- Fingers crossed that will have enough money on Tuesday to pay rent
- All spreadsheets up to date
- Fill forms for TC lot
- Lots of letters to write
- Grass turning into a jungle - needs urgent attending

If I can get all that done I will be soooo chuffed so better go and get started.

Went to Tesco's earlier hoping to find the £2 chickens. However none to be found. I did stick to our top shopping list which had lots of things half price or on offer - Princes tuna in brine, Helmanns mayo, olive oil, toffee popcorn, D. Express paper for the free Tropican Smoothie 750ml, cheese etc

Managed to use my extra points and a couple of money off coupons and also got a £4 off £30 spend till spit.

Got lots of vouchers for school as cashier said previous customer didn't want theirs and when I filled up with petrol I got a few extra. Also 10 points for re-using 5 large bags.:T

Oh and I wombled a recipt with points when I pushed the trolley back.

Off to cut my coupons out of the D. Express.

I'm working!!! Very DFW

Worked today, but also tomorrow until 9:30pm and Monday until 3pm. So not going anywhere to spend! Well except a car boot in the morning, but am on a mission from my lil sis, so it's her money i'll be spending. However I will be spending my £1 on my normal banana ice lolly - yummy!

Did my washing and ironing - drying everything naturally and used the free washing liquid I got in last weeks paper;
Filled in the forms for my change of mortgage;
Cleaned the car interior ready for trading in;
Went to the gym.

So, no real great moneysaving efforts there, but every little helps.
