Looks like everyone is having a busy weekend.
I did most of my small things yesterday, but for today :
- watered plants
- checked online banking
- checked for freebies
- free scratch cards and daily clicks
- cut the dogs hair for the first time ! (saved £18 in compared to having the visiting dog grooming lady )
- dinner from stores
- another No Spend Day
- ironed 20 items
- prepared lunches for work and school
- shampooed the carpet (with freebie shampoo)
- scrubbed the bathroom

Woohoo !

Hi everyone - looks like people have had very productive weekends, despite the distraction of celebrity boyfriends.:p I've had a very lazy day today, still waiting for B to return from the World Series - they were still stuck in the car park about an hour ago!

1) SC - 10p, 50p
2) LSD - just £2.50 at the car booty for 5 lovely Gap items for T for next year. V glad I didn't buy anymore things for him when I was there yesterday!
3) All meals from stores.
4) Had a lovely long peaceful walk down by the river for free entertainment. Saw a pair of swans with 8 cygnets. Ah!
5) Read a bit of Patrick Gale's new book for cheap entertainment, bought off Green Metropolis.
6) Googled Simon Baker - nice work Andrina!

Off to put T to bed. Don't really want too though, as he has been so sweet and loving today (although he has been a bit of a terror for the last few days) and I am worried he will revert overnight!

See you tomorrow,
L x

Evening All,

Mogchops, let me know how you get on
Angel, I hope you enjoyed the film
Lurlee, congrats on the camera


Better late than never, but here goes: This weekend I have/will:
• Dropped bro and bro in law in Reading for their holiday (2 weeks on BIL’s mums canal boat)….not really MS but good karma
• Googled Simon Baker (yum)
• Spent money on a yoga mat bag and heart rate monitor from tesco spent £20 instead of £115 that I ‘wished’ I could spend (£70 on branded HRM)
• Put change in my sealed pot
• Drunk far too much wine on Friday night and still feel a bit sick……hubby thinks that I might have morning sickness (he is convinced he has super sperm!)
• Went to Body Balance to use membership and realised that my jogging bottoms are a bit looser (sp?)….but I had put on 3lbs (ho hum, you are only 30 once)
• Chilled
• Cant do TAB scratchy’s for some reason
• Paid cash for my birthday dinner on Friday night 5 adults incl £11 on wine 2 courses (we went to the harvester so salad was the starter) £91…..not bad
• Washing on 30 and hung outside to dry
• Got treated to lunch this afternoon by a friend….I caught the sun
• Needed to buy a sports bag for the gym, found one I liked and shopped around for it and saved £3

I’d better go and put aloe vera body lotion on my poorly sick (and bright red) arms.

Take care everyone

thanks for the link Marru....am in scotland. went through their site and contacted some of the solicitors named on there as people who activiely help people with housing issues inc reposession and legal aid yet it is those who have turned me down!!! Once I get through this part, I think I will complain.

Going to CAB in the morning to see what they can offer. They had initially offered an appointment 3 weeks away but have shopped around and found one that has a no appointment drop in so will be going there.

My lawnmower blew up today.....:( and my strimmer ran out of the blue thready stuff. Not amused.

Did manage a NDS today WOO HOO
