    Hmm, not much today - didn't get bus down to ticket boundary either way, so £2 saved there, Plus brought my lunch to work. Unfortunately DD turned her nose up, so had to buy jar from Boots. I did phone those horrible people at VAT and agree to pay half my VAT this week, and half next, so that's a weight off my mind, otherwise bailiffs would be at my door next Tuesday.

    Listed some more stuff on Amazon, can't do anyting on Ebay I have have discovered my Lappy doesn't have the right port for the camera lead (odd pin type thingy like a monitor) so have to take it downstairs, plug in printer and then transfer through photo memory slot in printer.
    This year I'm getting organised once and for all, and going to buy a house with my wonderful other half. And that' s final!

    I've been Money Tipped!
    Had yesterdays leftover chicken stew for lunch.

    Found a 20p under the sofa for the savings pot.

    Used up the vegetables in the fridge for tonights dinner with some bargain priced sausages from costco.

    Found out about £50 cashback through quidco for opening a A & L Current account, will look into this later.
    Our days are happier when we give people a bit of our heart rather than a piece of our mind.

    - walked to supermarket!
    - shopped with a list - you have no idea this is something i would never have done.
    - bought stardrops and cheap toilet paper (the toilet paper was a real battle, stood in the toilet paper aisle for ages looking longingly at the lovely quilted variety that i usually get and comparing it to the cheaper own brand variety)
    - reheated frozen soup from yesterday for lunch
    - followed up on refunds previously agreed but not yet executed (i would never have done this before)

    :D had a great day.

    And you can get some more cash by using the Referrers Board here - the Recommend-A-Friend Scheme. I think it's £25 for you and the referrer, plus the referrer will give you a portion of their £25. Check it out!

    Up early enough to do one load of washing and hung out on line before going to work. Spent 8 hours hoping it wouldn't rain and it didn't. Phew!

    Took a packed lunch.

    Found a few coins (15p total) in my jacket pocket, another 20p in my desk drawer and a £1 in my bag! Unfortunately treated myself to a Cappucino at £1.25, so only 10p up.

    Dinner was a meal out of the freezer.

    That's about it.

    hi,

    Made all food from scratch - using up food that was going out of date (would have previously just ignored it and got takeaway as am tired!!).

    Sent 17 amazon items out.

    Decided (with OH's permission) to sell his PSP!!! wow! Will list on Ebay - I think for a 3 day listing on Thursday so it'll end Sun night as well as an old mobile. Think this is long enough.

    Got 50 envelopes for £2 from £1 shop for CD sending - bargain!

    Counted up pigybank -£24.80! result! Haven't decided what we're saving for yet...

    Discussed finances with OH - big success finally so more DFW things to be put in place from this conversation.

    Sea xx

    PS Do you have to have your wage paid into A&L??
