pammyj74's MFW diary (or possible wishful thinking!!)

thank you all, I need the kick up the bum

Just realised another thing that now annoys me about this holiday. I booked it later so we could wait until DS1 finished his exams. we normally go in April/May time and we could have had enough to go for two weeks then. I am getting more annoyed the more I think about it :mad:



On the money note had a NV survey £2 and 40p on onepoll, screened out on 2 VOs. got DD a couple of lovely tops and a pair of shorts from charity shop. Ex MIL sent us 110 turk lira for spending money (about £50) :j
Sold another couple of signs today so £2 added to the ebay pot so profit this month is £34.34 at the moment

so using some of my profit I bought the perfume I wanted for £8 therefore not having to use my own money and saving £6 off the avon price

I thought that's what Boots points were for, didn't realise it was possible to actually buy perfume with money :rotfl:. Well done on treating yourself, and enjoy the focus group, you seasoned traveller you :rotfl:

Pammy you can get a first passport on the 1 week service. You have to go to Liverpool or Glasgow, but then they guarantee you will have it back within a week. We did it last week for our DS2, and it was back within 3 working days. Just a thought if your sister does want to come with you

but is DS2 over 15? I dont think you can do it with an adult one. My boss did his kid that way.

Nope - boots points are for expensive bubble baths and face creams!!:p

You haven't got a boots card?!:eek: even if you only use it now and again it's still worth it (says she of the bulging wallet of loyalty/ points cards....:whistle:)

correct - first adults now need to attend a 'passport interview' - whatever that is!!

\enjoy the next focus group!

I think I have a boots card somewhere but I very rarely shop there tbh

Shopping in boots has to be one of my biggest weaknesse, so I always have plenty of boots points to cash in:eek::eek:

well only 9 sleeps til our hols and I have come to the conclusion we are going on our own. While this is very scary I have been taking them with eldest only being 12-13 so I'm sure we will be fine and my other two are now 8 and 7 so not completely young. They have said that they can help out with things.

I wish we were just going here somewhere with the weather being so nice!!!

not much money making again but I do rate dooyoo reviews throughout the day and got back into BP again this week. Got 45p from onepoll. 75 pts from ipsos

doing the garden today, have just mowed the lawn and need to sort the weeds and overgrown bushes as my neighbours son is watering our plants for us.
Need to do a list of things for holiday and a to do list before we go! I hate the last week run up! lol
