Friday 8/5/09 What small dfw things have you done today???

Lurleene

Hi guys, the sun is trying to come out here. I'm going to keep things short and sweet - I've just looked around the house and realised it looks like we have been burgled. We haven't, so I guess this is due to my slovenly ways so it's down to me to do something about it.

debt free me - sounds like your lucky day! Quick, get a lottery ticket!

1) SC x 10p. (Got 50p bonus as usual, but it went in the bonus account, which I guess means I can't get at it?)
2) Hokey cokey x 2
3) Popped into T's future school to hand in forms etc All part of the plan to live off him in my old age.
4) Needed to spend money desperately so popped to a couple of charity shops. Got 2 lovely tops for T for 50p each, a book for 75p and a DVD of the French Lieutenants Woman for 50p! Have been dying to watch this since our holiday in Lyme Regis last month. :j
5)Also got a couple of last month's glossy magazines from a charity shop. I will enjoy them far more at 20p each than £3.50, I'm sure.
6) Took T and a picnic to Adventure Wonderland, using our season tickets, so a great free afternoon out.
7) B is sorting out her wardrobe so I will have a huge bag of things to take to the charity shop tomorrow, hopefully.

Pizza for tea, so nice and easy for me! Catch up later,

HI ALL
didn't get alot of my list done

Did go to tescos/lidl and co-op and got lots of bargains (fruit and frozen stuff) and some good plants in lidl including an Orchid (£7) but my last one lasted over 6 months and it looked ace in the bathroom.

Also took all the reciepts I have found/not had card for and got 70 extra clubcard points woo hoo. Trying to make sure I can possibly use them on Euro star - when do we get them next again.......? Think I had some in Feb?

Waves to all - bit of a junkie tea but not a takeaway so that saved loads and i managed to NOT buy a bottle of wine and bought my orchid instead so I am healthier but I did spend the money on a plant.

Helped DD move her room and put fairy lights etc from the attic around her bed, it looks so lovley!!

Also took the baby wipes out from their stash, took another 1/3rd out and cut them in half and put them into a pretty sealed glass jar in bathroom - this has worked a treat we are using half the wipes and the jar is keeping them so lovely and fresh.

hugs to all x

fay, on tesco clubcard website it says that tesco clubcard tokens will be sent out this month in the may statement, am thinking the end of the month time.

Thanks I knew you would know - I am trying to convert my clubcards to Eurostar vouchers - (get 4x the amount if they are right on the other thread) so we might be able to go to dad's a bit cheaper.

I am even trying to persuade my brother and my SIL they might want to 'donate' us some clubcard vouchers no harm in mooching for them they will just spend them on shopping so I can try and persuade them to part with them maybe
