Had such a productive day today. Did most of the above list (my carp internet wont let me do ebay very quickly so did some and just Dads card to buy tomorrow) and also took loads of stuff to the charity shop and went to Boots where I got 2 foundations, 2 packets of wipes, a cleanser, 2 deodrants and shampoo for £6.69!!!! Had a £17 voucher from my bro left over and with the 3 for 2 offer and the £5 voucher I got such a bargain!

Phoning Scottish power was a bit of a shocker though. Usually I get a £40 - £60 cheque back from them 3 - 4 times a year but today they told me I'm in credit by the princely sum of £3.00 :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:. Won't be doing much with that but have had the heating on loads due to rotten weather!

Need to phone 3 again tomorrow re the internet. They promised to half the cost of my deal and sent me a new dondle but it's even slower than before :mad: so will be looking at Plusnet again!

Back to work tomorrow for a day then off again Thursday!!!! Got enough money in my piggy to go to see 9 at the pics but there may be a boy on the horizon so I'll see!

Right sorted out Plusnet through Quidco and it's very cheap! Hope it works as 3 has been SO slow for 2 YEARS! Wont sign anything on a whim again!

Bought the card for Dad and just need to do a bit of ebaying tomorrow. Also want to pay a bit off Storecard one so I can clear it when I get paid/when my Quidco money comes in. Not much but a start.

Did a meal plan last night for the month. May run out slightly at the end but have cash to cover it.

Thinking about Ikea tomorrow night with the boys. I might spend a bit but found out today that in my new job I get paid on the last Thursdays of the month not the Fridays, so its a day less to stretch it for!!!! Do love Ikea but pick up loads of bits cos they're cheap and then get to the till and want to collapse!

May see 9 at pics tomorrow or may see boy, snow not too tragic up here and they have FINALLY gritted my street so can get down it but still need wretched trainers as it's manky and slushy. Bleugh. X

Aargh, forgot still have bros bday to go so wont be able to put anything to the debt this month until payday. Not too bothered as it's a five week month and we don't know when the shop is closing for refit so cant plan any social stuff really and will have to see people as and when. Will go mad if I don't have some excitement so no point in killing myself when the end of the month will be so much easier!

Now I went to pics to see 9 today and after 25 fabulous minutes the fire alarm went off and we had to come out!!! Got my stub and will deffo go back soon.

Need to clean and tidy for a while and then maybe look at some recipes for next month while I have the time.

Ebay items have watchers which is exciting and joined a few new cashback sites for clicks today.

missymoo81

omg i thought you were back early!

sounds like you're getting very organised.

are the cashback sites worth doing hun, or is it a lot of bother for not a lot?
