Hi all, welcome back Milly and great news Rachel.
Had a good day today.
1) SC x 10p
2) Received Approved Food order, and put away in my already bulging cupboards.
3) Went to Lidl for the rest of the weekly shop. Used £5 voucher from the paper and it came to £28! Lots of great offers in there at the moment e.g. red peppers for 20p each and mozzarella for 27p. :j
4) Received £14.96 from Quidco and paid straight to CC.
5) Took T to the gardens with a friend and her boys. There is a great new play park there and we also saw a free magic show. Ah, the joys of living in a tourist town - lots of free entertainment.
6) All meals from stores and I'm just about to make smoothies with overripe fruit.
7) Researched buying a spare part for my smoothie maker as we have lost an integral part. Cheapest is £6 so far :eek: inc postage, but much cheaper than buying a whole new machine.
Have a good evening, see you tomorrow. L x0 -
Today I have;
- Daliy cards 10p
- Used gift card to buy lunch M+S
- Moved quidco money to savings0 -
Hello all,
I haven't been here since Thursday as BF has been around. He has been a star and taken me and DD to Longleat to see Sportacus, taken us to evaluate a car booty where I could possibly get rid of my books and took us sightseeing as well in addition to buying us ice creams. :smileyhea (Oh and mowed my lawn, did my washing up and fixed the electricity socket in garage...)
So last few days I have:
- Scratchies (twice a fiver in a week meaning I have withdrawn a total of £33 in one week!!!)
- Curly
- Cash back bingo (won a tenner so now only 23p away from withdrawing £50.-)
- All meals accroding to meal plan
- Today lunch HM tuna salad
- All of this week's suppers are going to be left overs from what I cooked over weekend (neatly in freezer ready to defrost and heat up every day :T)
Still have fair amount of the big stuff to do but giving myself a break just for this one day. If I am trying to have another day off tomorrow just please SHOUT at me. Thanks."Everything will be alright in the end. If it's not alright, it's not the end."
