Morning all, looks like being another sunny one here today
Mortgage payment has gone so thats another £191 onto the years total (the repayment part of the mortgage payment). I'm nearly at payout again on the scratchcard so hopefully can add that at some point this week.

Today is going to require a list as I've got several little bits I need to get done today;

• wrap 2 x ebay parcels and post
• post another parcel to cousin
• write a thankyou letter to ex-mil for Easter gift she sent
• food shopping
• housework (in case estate agent might like to ring any time soon )
• sort car boot stuff in garage so I'm ready to go once I get a chance to do one
• do 10,000 steps
• do a matched bet

Aagh, I'm sure there was a lot more than that but I'll have to add more as and when I think of it. Have a lovely day!

That spa treat sounds lovely - I am sure that 3lbs will be gone before you know it!

Matched bet is all done and dusted for £4 profit, not a massive amount but at least I don't need to log in later for the freebie, its all done already

We're also both washed and dressed, quite a bit of housework has been done (still need to dust and hoover though), I've ordered a new phone for my Grandad and have arranged to visit a friend on thursday and another friend is coming over in the evening, so quite productive so far today

Now its time to wrap the parcels and go and get them sent

3 parcels posted, ds had his haircut and some food shopping done which will last a day or two. Am going to try to use stuff from the cupboards as much as possible this week before we go to Devon too.

Another qualifying bet done on a match tomorrow, just waiting for some liquidity at the exchange to lay the bet. Had dinner (chicken, carrots and roasted butternut squash) and am about to have my bath. Tomorrow, weather permitting, will be another bike-riding lesson day for ds

I need to do tomorrow's betting tonight too - off to London for the day tomorrow so won't be about to wait for odds to improve.

Still, even a couple of quid will be money for nothing while I am out

Have a lovely day in London tomorrow Hypno, you've inspired me to get my car boot stuff sorted out, not sure whether I'll aim to do one this sunday or the sunday after; the one after would be easier as ds will be away at his dads so (a) I can get more stuff in the car if he's not with me and (b) I don't have him whinging about me selling his old toys and books

He's been complaining of a tummy ache again this evening and fell straight asleep tonight without even a story which is almost unheard of for him, I'm hoping he's not still got some sort of a bug

hypno06

Well, he was pretty poorly just a few days ago, so it would not be unreasonable for him to have some after-effects.....probably as much from the tiredness, and perhaps muscle ache from being sick, as anything.

I hope he is on top form soon, though.

Morning, morning, morning! Ds slept like a log last night and feels fine again today so am hoping it was just general tiredness. Today it looks damp and cloudy outside so not too sure what our plans are yet.

I've checked the banking (nothing to report), done the scratched (another 10p), checked emails etc but before I did all this I actually got dressed and made the beds and tidied a few bits away

Ooh, while I've been typing this my tesco clothing order has been delivered :j So I have got; (for ds) 2 x school trousers, 6 x vests, 2 x school sweatshirts, 1 x jogging bottoms, 1 x anorak, 1 x checked shirt (and for me) 1 x knickers and 1 x trackie bottoms ... all for a total price of £25.44 with £22 worth of clubcard deals points to come and £1.11 from quidco, so in effect £25.44-£22-£1.11=£2.33 :j :j Bargain bargain bargain, every little helps!!

I made £4 profit on tonights matched bet, all helps along the way Postie has just been too and has delivered a top I won on ebay the other day, I thought it was just a normal vest top, but its actually 100% silk and has gorgeous embroidered detailing on i that the seller never mentioned, its really pretty and lovely
