    Got the weekend break booked. It was going to come to £340 though so meant I was going to lose out on £60 of my Tesco vouchers as they sent me 2 x £200 ones and you cannot get "change". So I just used the one and will pay the balance in cash. I've got some overtime coming up, so going to take all I can and put all the overtime money away for it and just scrimp and save for our spending money from now til then! So it means I still have the other £200 voucher left. It's valid until 28 February 2010 so I can book another break for next year somtime too.
    Right off to get showered and dressed now and do some of the dreaded housework!

    Just joined TopCashBack. Have been in Quidco but didn't bother with any others until now. Anyone have experience of them both and which do you prefer?

    I've been using TCB more and more because they don't charge an annual fee.

    Thought you were supposed to be doing housework.

    The great thing about housework is that is not impatient and can wait as long as you want it to!
    It will always be there for you too.!!;)

    Thanks guys.

    Nothing done today, so going to do a list for tomorrow!

    Tidy whole house
    Clean, hoover & polish whole house
    Get washing up to date
    Sort out ironing
    Put away ironing that doesn't need done ! I love this kind of ironing - the real ironing wil have to wait for another day as I know I wont have time to do it - there is a mini mountain!
    Get OH to make the meals all day today
    Put home hair colour on (very MSE)
    Change the bed
    Stay off the computer or I will get nothing done all day again!

    See you all on Monday!

    Hi Primula... I've just read your whole diary and am about to subscribe. I wish I'd seen it earlier but it's still nice to read that you've paid your CC off ! Very inspirational !! I really should start one myself to get my backside into gear :rolleyes:

    Hope you have a good bank holiday weekend and hope that you manage to get as much of your list done as possible.
