Just giving myself a kick...:mad:
I have had a lazy morning and have been to meet the friend
and I am using the Comp at the library to save on stuff like electricity at home:jand not to be tempted to put heating on. and sheltering from the rain on way back from the shops....:rolleyes:
So at least im being good that way..
Had a pot of tea and a latte at the cafe and a fairy cake... but price was reasonable and got lots out of the pot of tea.
I have still not had tesco vouchers...:eek:
Purchased some nice bit for mum and the kids coming round tnight before football... Have mums homemade cake in the fridge though so that will help spent an hour in tesco ....looking for bargains for Packed lunches and teas...OH will have too have the jacket spuds now as did not get him anything...
Although needed some juuce bottles so go 2 feel good glass bottles with apple and blueberry and cloudy lemon sparkling 2 for 1.60 these are usually 1.20 each so they will keep as atreat then reuse to death (from tesco)
They also have lots of offers on lunch box treats....only got one lot though I can always go back tomorrow...A bag of jaffa cakes mini were 33p they will last a couple of days.... Usually get the basics bourbons etc...
I now need to get my but home to wrap post and get to post office before friend brings my son and the kids back!!!!!!:eek: Will leave biscuit making until tomorrow have some super cheap snack already....and the jacket spuds!
Then I need to do all the jobs I said after football 7pm onwards...will set myself a challenge like 60min makeover......

Hi everyone :hello:
1) Went to work, but came home after four hours because I have a stinking cold and cough and couldn't get anything done. Poo.
2) Had lunch at home.
3) Checked banking, all on track.
4) Checked ebay listings - one bidder and two watchers.
5) Was delighted to win a jacket off Ebay for £13. It is one I have been coveting online for ages and costs £69! Can't wait for it to arrive.:j
6) Paid for jacket after going through Quidco
7) Watched a newspaper freebie DVD before I collected T.
8) Walked home via second hand clothes shop and got OH a designer shirt for £2.
9) Attempted surveys. Cashed in some points for WH Smith vouchers for present drawer.
10) Generally felt sorry for myself, which costs nothing.
We are off to see T's new school tonight for an introduction evening. I spent 7 years going back and forth to that place with B, can't believe I have to start all over again!
Have a good evening,
