Oooh thanks BB....I used to make a yummy soup with butternut squash, will definitely do one again soon - I have a squash coming from Asda on Friday now in preparation;) Have a cupboard full of sugar free jelly too - find them fab for when I'm just bored and want to nibble:rotfl:

Well I well and truly ruined my NSD today....£30 on WW (but the £30 Quidco has tracked)...but then I went on The Body Shop online and bought more of the lovely night cream....it's 3 for 2 right now, and I just love it after buying last week;) So I bought 2 more and 1 of the illuminating day cream - 2 x £10 and £9, got 1 of the £10s knocked off with the 3 for 2....then used the £5 off code that's on here...and free delivery. So £14 for £29 worth....pleased, but feel I shouldn't have bought it:) But...I do now have enough face cream for a long time;)

Dinner is on and smelling yummy....bolognese, that'll turn into chilli for me and DD2:p Then will take DD2 to guides and then lie and watch EE and Holby.....fab Tuesday nights:T
Have a good evening:p

Milly we seem to be living parallel lives at the moment I've just done 2 sections of my davina dvd, had a chicken salad and am off for a nice hot bath now

A good day food-wise....crumpet and spread for breakfast, wrap with ham and salad and a banana for lunch, jacket potato, chicken and coleslaw then sugar free jelly for dinner. Still have a few points left - think I'm going to have a couple of rich tea biccies and save the other points 9for the wine I'll drink at my siser's this wekeend!)

It's my birthday tomorrow and we're having chicken chow mein (home made ) for dinner...nothing exciting but that's one of the girls' faves.:p

I stayed all day at college, rather pleased! Tired now though. I think I'll stay doing half days for next week too, build my strength up!

NSD today - I just spent a few pounds out of Grocery budget. Had a free coffee at college (loyalty card, 7th cup is free!) and took my own snack.

£10 to add to £5 a day today from ebay sales....won't hit the target, but really haven't put much effort in this month....must try harder:rotfl:

Just £13 from Quidco this month....quite a bit validated just waiting for them to recieve the money.
I've got a few Body Shop orders on their way - some serious bargains from the grabbit board....shower gels and face creams sorted for the year;)

Had a lovely meal out today, courtesy of my mum...I haven't spent a thing today...well apart from the Body Shop order this morning and a Boots order using £5 off voucher.

Ex coughed up this month's maintenance in full on thurs....hooray:p

Not much else to report, really can't be bothered:o

pixiechick99

Ok, I must try harder to keep posting here....and not care if no-one reads....!!!!! Think I'll use this to post lists of what I need to get done....and might try keep me on track WW-wise, as I've not been very good with that;)

Money update....all looking good. I had my new notice from HB as they wanted to review my claim...which was fine by me as I know I've told them about every little change and allmy student loan income etc. They've now decided to give me more...about an extra £7 a week, which is very kind...and a couple of months of that is backdated so today I have an extra £85 going in to the bank from them:beer: I've not sold anything on ebay recently....still got 4 items listed but not shifting. Claimed a £10 Amazon voucher from a survey site the other day and have exactly £10 in pending credits so as soon as that clears I'll haveanother £10...free books for me.. woooooo!!:D

Took girls to see Alice in WOnderland yesterday at the cinema and it was fab;) Expensive....£26 for the 3 of us, then £4.50 on popcorn, £2.50 on a bottle of water:eek::eek:....and £5 to park in town. Oh well, we don't often go out!! DOing nothing today....a nice rest at home.

I'm still waiting to hear from the hospital, have been at work mornings and going to carry on that hopefully - I do have a sick note to pick up tomorrow, but if I can stay doing mornings then I'm ok with that. Just still very tired, proper worn out by lunchtime tired:o

Ok, off to make some toast and think about what to get done today....I will be back with the list:p

pixiechick99

Ok....here I go:p

• First job is ironing....I like to get it out the way
• Hoover lounge and kitchen
• put yesterdays washing that's on the airer out on the line as it's so sunny
• Make more WW soup - I made the one BBAM posted and it was fab:beer:
• Investigate cheaper car insurance....but think my renewal from Tesco of £217 is cheapest
• list more on ebay/Amazon
• attempt to make a start on my Uni assignment
• make Spag Bol for dinner...it was meant to be lasagne, but that's too much faffing about....we all love Spag Bol (and less fattening!)
• quick clean of bathroom
• have a big pamper tonight - shower and hair wash with my new Body Shop banana shampoo/conditioner and choose one of the 6 shower gels I bought;) Then re-do my nails.....I've managed to grow them this year and been doing a home french manicure - I fell very ladylike!!! So will do that while Dancing on Ice is on!

Ok....I must make a start - washing out first, then shower, then ironing!

pixiechick99

Ok....so far I've hung out the washing on the line. I've stripped my bed and it's in the wash, almost finished so will go out on the line....I love seeing bedding out blowing in the sun;) (oooh I sound like my Mum!)
I've made the girls a cooked breakfast and cleaned up, swept kitchen floor. Just had a shower and dressed - time to do the ironing now.
60p on scratchies today....about £1.50 away from payout. I've been doing lots of Onepoll surveys too...up to £16 there, but need £40 to get a payout....will keep on at it!!
Must get some bits photographed and on ebay:p

pixiechick99

I got lots of my list done.....as per usual I did no Uni work...I get sooo cross with myself, i am the queen of procrastination when it comes to sitting down and studying:o:o

I have done lots of ironing, also ironed then photographed a few bits for ebay. Listed a couple of creative kits of the girls and one sold right away, so that's £8 for me. But I feel a bit bad keeping that...it was a present for eldest for Xmas, 2 years ago, never used. Mind you....I'm paying for their summer trips...and at the moment it seems to be just me paying, not the ex!!

Didn't make the soup either - tomorrow afternoon I'll do that. Bathroom got cleaned, washing all done, dried and put away. Just need to put my duvet cover on. DD1 in shower now, DD2 after then I can start doing my nails! Having this time off since Xmas has given me time to enjoy doing nails and using yummy smellies....I'm easily pleased now...lots of Body Shop goodies and I'm happy:p
