    Ankle is really sore this evening so I decided so sit and count the copper in the tin.......£10 up to now with £3.70 in 5p's which I will keep for OH coffee machine fund at work:D

    Ran out of bags though so will put the £10 in the boys account tomorrow (£5 in each) which I have always done with the copper and get some more bags.

    I reckon there is about another £5 in the tin still.
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    Did a pensions forecast for OH and have registered for mine so we have some rough idea of the type of money we will receive from the government (if it doesnt drastically change which it probably will)

    By the time I retire, the country will be bust... :rolleyes:

    Its just a suggested list of housework each day on the flylady website, sort of like your Grandma telling you how to do the housework:D

    It helps me to keep on top of things and reminds me to do things that I sometimes forget to do like wiping down internal doors and skirtingboards.

    You concentrate on one area of the home everyday, yesterday was the bedroom so that was easy as I gave it a good sorting before I went on my hols......

    are you still awake then Len?:rotfl:

    List for today.......
    • Flylady
    • Complete £20 mystery shop (its a phone one too so excellent money I think)
    • Place bet with Betdaq for £20 quidco and £25 free bet
    • Go food shopping
    • Sort out DS2's wardrobe and sort out old clothes for charity/ebay.
    I won £1 on my daily scratchcard today so really pleased with that, gets me closer to the £10 withdrawal amount.

    My ankle is slightly better today but I now seem to have developed a pain in my other foot right on the bottom of the heel as though I have been walking around with a pebble in my shoe........its V painful so I am hobbling around like an old woman:rolleyes:

    No washing to do today so off to wash up the breakfast dishes and start on my list.

    Yes there is a daily schedule to follow but I just go off the one posted on the Old Style thread rather than the actual site.

    I do the littlewoods bingo free scratchcard (via quidco;)) going to register for the Vrgin one too as I think they do one also.

    Definitely worth doing I have already had a free tenner out of them and am up to over £5 again it soon builds up prizes start from 10p but you do get the odd £1.

    You need to deposit £10 at first but once you have won your first 10p take the tenner back out so you are left with a balance of 10p in your scratchcard account.

    Then just go on every day (you get 2 goes on a Sunday) until your balance is over £10 again........then withdraw £10. Simples:D
