Crikey, in my keeness to share my coupon knowledge, I forgot to mention what i was here to say anyway lol :rolleyes:

I have another mystery shop on saturday, nightclub...get £20 reimbursement for entry and drinks, plus £15 payment, and £5 extra if i meet certain requirements. basically £40 for a night out I was going on anyway cos its my friends birthday! :beer:

I dont drink loads anyway so the two that I have to buy for the shop will do me fine!!! I'm very excited!! :j

Did another survey just now so im up to £7.75 on valued opinions, nearly able to redeem!

Oooooh, and also, 2 ebay things pulled in £20 tonight, so im pretty chuffed in all!!:D

Hi Kirstenc

Thanks for even more info. I am definately going to change from Asda to Tesco.

Hopefully I will be putting all this to good use. I need to work on my time management! I work 3 days a week and then seem to run around doing housework, paperwork, ferrying the kids everywhere etc the rest of the week. Mind you I should get into a better routine once they go back to school !:T. I may not get back on here for the next couple of days so have a great Saturday night out.:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Thanks very much YummyMummy, Im sure I will have fun, espescially since im not technically paying for it!!!

Im the same with time management, and my mum who usually does the things that I forget, is in hospital at the moment for some sort of investigation. So im up to my own devices, looking after my 18 year old bum of a brother in the process. Hes so lazy! He wont even sign on cos that means he would have to get up early once a fortninght!!!

Yep time managenent, biggest downfall here. If I have a day off - in the work sense - I tend to faff about, doing everything acheiving nothing !

Hope your Mum's okay Kirsten.

kirstenc

Thanks DC, she is OK, just not sure whats wrong with her lol the investigation didnt happen today so she is staying in another night, and is till having a bit of pain but im sure that once they pinpoint the problem they will be able to sort it as quick as possible!

I hate managing time lol, most of my free time is on here when I should be tidying. Cooking is a funny one for me, I love it and feel so proud when I have done it but its getting started that I hate!!

OH is really irritating me at the moment, he is moaning that I changed the statements to email rather than paper without consulting him...no i can change our direct debits and pay bills and do everything moneywise, and has never read a statement in his life, but now he decides to moan about that, and my 'plans' for the finances. GRRRRRRRRR! So annoying!

Deep breath, hes a bloke, its genetic!!

Just changed my gas and electricity supplier and while im only saving about £8 a month, i get £70 cashback!!

and i have just taken a meter reading and i totally think that I am owed money by the current company, i think im owed about £200 on the gas and that i owe them £100 on the electric, so if my calculations are correct, they owe me £100!!!! YAY!!!

kirstenc

Found out today that when I get paid (tomorrow!!) I will have an extra £182 in overtime money!!! YAAAAAY!!

be popping that into the OD along with the scheduled £200 in the morning and will then update that part of the sig!! what a relief it is to know that I am paying a good amount towards the OD, I am actually starting to think that I might do it by xmas....especially since I have been doing OT this week too!

kirstenc

Hello people...

Just thought i would quickly update you all.

Got extra £180 in my wage, but OH was underpaid so to keep an even kilter, I have only transferred £130 and a bit into the overdraft. Good news is HR have confirmed that he has been getting at least £50 a month less than supposed to for the last 3 months so there will be extra £150 next time.

We are using it to buy a new tv though (after all his moaning he has let me sell about 10 of his ps3 games!)

which reminds me....a list has been long overdue!!
saturday needs me to

- mow the front garden (the back is beyond help and needs a proffesional!!)
- list 10 ebay items
- get shoeboxes and plastic envelope things
- buy printer so I can print my own postage...cheaper in the long run than paying to get to post office! and so ican print the mystery shop stuff out
- buy egg replacer for banana cake
- visit mum (still in the hospital)
- do mystery shop at night
- transfer paypal money

goodness thats alot of stuff!!

best get photographing!!

Different_Corner

Oh lists. I'm afraid I keep my lists in my head and convieniently forget them. So disorganised.

Hope you got it all done kirsten, taking the photos always annoys me. I know a good photo pays off in the end though.

Hi Kirstenc

I am very impressed by your lists. I had all good intentions over the weekend but decided the weather was just too nice and ended up running around in the garden with the kids. (Weigh in tonight so hopefully lost a pound or two!!).

More importantly though, how did your saturday night go ??:T
