    Hi all,

    1)Today was another car booty tastic day. Lego for 20p, clothes for T and B and another pile of DVDs!
    2) Did some gardening this morning.
    3) Hokey cokey.
    4) Went to park for free fun. Met a lovely little boy called Zeus!
    5) Dinner will be roast veg and sausages to use up veg.
    6) Will watch one of our new DVDs tonight for free entertainment. ( Watched Million Dollar Baby last night for the first time. Made me cry :o)
    7) Sent off vouchers to the Daily Mirror for the Lego Star Wars set.
    8) Checked banking and survey sites and entered some comps.
    9) SC 10 + 10p + 25p

    Off to mow the lawn now while the boys watch Star Wars. Lucky me!
    See you tomorrow,

  • Evening all!

    Have had a wonderful weekend which involved a lot of eating at no expense! Nan and Grandad seemed to enjoy their weekend of celebrations and sent us away with a goody bag of food so that will do us a few meals! Have managed to do the everyday stuff whilst away (scratchcards etc) and two NSDs. Nan and Grandad always give us money towards fuel as well so as we have budgeted for petrol I am paying this money off our credit card tomorrow. Just a few things to do this evening:
    • Washing on low temp
    • Light dinner from stores
    • Count up pennies
    • Fingers crossed e-bay items do well, finish in a few hours 11/17 sold so far!
    Night all see u tomorrow x x x
    Thank you to all posters:beer:

    Late evening all,

    Had a right boo boo today.

    Spent, spent and spent!!

    - Spent £12 in Pizza Hut for lunch, but did use a 50% off coupon
    - £20 on petrol
    - £15 on underwear
    - £10 in the pub
    - £10 in Sainsburys

    Feel bad as don't like spending too much, eating out the next two days and will have to pay for it so can't eat out for a while afterward's. By Wednesday, I will have eaten out a shocking 6 times in the past week, although only 3 I will have paid for!
    No you're not a vegetarian if you eat any animal or fish, so do not insult genuine veggies by calling yourself one! :mad:

    Thanks to everyone who posts competitions. You are the stars of the board :T:j:T
