Thanks yargo1 I got some bargains yes but still worry about my finances and whether they will last. the only trip I will have out is to see my dad. Not even been going to the gym and am paying £28 a month for it. Just do not feel up to facing people there yet.
Do you know what I mean?
I slept bad last night so got some asphalia for natural sleep off the freebies site to help me sleep better.
I put the cats out now so that I can sleep better too.
got ironing to do later but will be chilling this afternoon. Meant to hoover the car out but can do that tomorrow morning. I keep entering comps t win things and money though. Put ads on freecycle for unwanted cds and a pressure washer.Mortgage Free 2016Work Part Time:DHouse Hunting In France 20230 -
Have you tried Music Magpie via quidco for the CDs rather than giving them away?Saving for a Spinning Wheel and other random splurges : £183.500

No I put an ad on freecycle for cds wanted - so I can play them and cheer myself up. I have put my old cds that I don't want on music magpie but total is only £2.98 so far.:jMortgage Free 2016Work Part Time:DHouse Hunting In France 20230

Actually I found out last night that my pleading email was answered and I'm still in with a chance of making good!!! :j
I can do with every extra penny so will be working hard to make sure I don't mess up again and will be looking for more offers once this is finished.
I've heard there are good ones available around Cheltenham time so not long now for those ones.
Cool, anything I can do to assist?
Yes a lot of the bookies have bigger sign-up offers for Cheltenham. They're normally advertised in the Racing Post, but people will post them on the GIOL board..0 -
Well I just polished inside of my car and hoovered it wahey, glad its done and sorted my cds for the car too.

I am thinking of joining plenty of fish again too?Mortgage Free 2016Work Part Time:DHouse Hunting In France 20230 -
Just checked my mobile phone bill and realised that I was paying nearly £30 a month for calls and texts I could have done on PAYG for under £5:mad::mad::mad:. I rang them to see what they had to say for themselves about that and I now have the same deal but for £10 a month and a new phone:D. It's not worth much as I had to get one of the cheap ones but I am quite happy with that as I just wanted my bill reduced, I can get about £30 for the phone so am going to sell that as soon as it gets here and keep my old phone for now.
I don't want to go on PAYG even though it would be cheaper as I worry about running out of credit and being stuck somewhere and not being able to let anyone know. I am a bit annoyed I couldn't get any cashback:( but I will save about £200 this year on my phone bill:D
I have washed the bedding again with Vanish and Stardrops and now it looks like the bits I have been concentrating on have faded but taken some of the colour with them:mad: so now it has light patches on it. Hopefully it won't be too noticable when it's actually on the bed so I will try it later.Pay/save £20k in 2010 £5888.75/£20,000June Mini target 0/5lbs Total 23/40Ebay profit 2010: March £207:) April £95:) May £130:) June £0 Total £432:j0 -

I have to top up £10 before the 19th to get my 300 free text allowance on o2 but not sure whether to not bother as I need the money.

I have to top up £10 for my free three hundred text from o2 but not sure I will do it as I hardly use my phone for calls and texts now.Mortgage Free 2016Work Part Time:DHouse Hunting In France 20230 -
Hi all, at Mum and Dad's the last few nights so just caught up.
Dan, hellooooooo. So your ex is away.....
:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
Mum and I managed to go into town for an hour on Tuesday and she treated me to some undies, jammies and 2 pairs of work shoes from Primarni. She was so pleased to get out of the house that she went a bit mad!!! It was fab to see them though and we had a good laugh talking about when we were all kids at home. She's in complete agony but seeing the Doc next Monday. :j
Been very frugal of late. Spent more M and S vouchers today. Got in just in time for yellow stickers so got:
8 sausages £1
carrots 50p
chips 50p
2 x Potato Skins £2
and some cheese, wine and soured cream from the normal section with my vouchers.
Then went to Tesco. I got a whole English pound in Clubcard vouchers(I'm an Asda/Aldi girl) so bought a yellow stickered ready meal and a Wispa and only paid 21p for it!!!
Will use the sausage and stuff to do a saus cass for my bro and his boyf tomorrow and have tattie skins to start. Just need some Aldi Yorkies (59p) and bobs your uncle!'The road to a friends house is never long'0 -

Wow souk its nice to have a mum to treat you. My mum never buys me anything really not even coffee, shes never been mummy material even though she had three kids.
I need new undies etc but have to say no.
My daughter due to arrive soon.
Got a tiger bread thingy for 37p from asda, so will warm it up later with some soup or just on its own with cheese melted on it. Frozen some of my scones and left two out for my daughter to try they have cherries in them. Just off to watch kirk and spock in the voyage home (star trek) on film 4 now. yippee love star trek watched all of them and the old series two.Mortgage Free 2016Work Part Time:DHouse Hunting In France 20230
