    Hi everyone - I'm very glad to be indoors now for this very windy weather. I did a mini-shop at Lidl last night to try and tide us over til payday and now I really need to watch the pennies. Today I:

    1) NSD - yay!
    2) SCs, checked online accounts and Quidco.
    3) I'm making a huge batch of carrot soup for dinner. So cheap but so yummy. We are also having toasted cheese sandwiches made using some 'toastabags' I bought from Poundland. They are the best thing ever!:j
    4) Went to work
    5) Tried to do a survey but was cruelly rejected.
    6) Sold two things on Netmums.
    7) Bagged freebie cinema tickets for the four of us. Excellent.
    8) Researched free things to do at the weekend, weather permitting. I think I will go to Corfe Castle courtesy of Walkers Crisp points. Thanks Gary.
    9) I intend to spend a lazy evening reading my library book. The new Nick Hornby one - it is very enjoyable so far.

    Enjoy your evenings - wrap up warm Fay, hope your lurgy isn't too horrible x
