Am I the only person on the planet that Nytol knocks out cold??

I have to take it in bed or I would be asleep in the lounge!!

Flippin 'eck Hypno ... have you ever thought of selling your life as a storyline to a soap. Nah! Second thoughts.....soaps probably aren't quite as incident filled (not sure as have to admit I've not watched one in years!). Big hugs to you.

On an exciting note....are you ready for this....no, I mean it....are you ready....I coloured a whole box in tonight and if you're very good I might even tell you what colour I used!!!:rotfl:xx

What a miserable evening Hypno. The sun is shining here, and that always makes it seem a good start to the day, hope it is in Hypno land too.

Scratchies done, only 10p's. Free bingo started. Managed a redeem request for a £10 Amazon voucher on one site, so that was good. So things are gradually adding up. Think today is a stay in/relax/slob day, as OH is not well enought for any touristy going out attempts.

Hope everyone has a good day

Why is it, that when I have a night when I don't wake up, I have some really bizarre dreams instead. So when I do wake up I feel as though I have been awake all night :mad:

I think I was so exhausted last night, I was due a night of sleep - woke a couple of times, but went back to sleep......but to more bizarre dreams. Odd.

This morning I have a M/S to do while DS is skiing, and this evening DS is racing. In between, I have the usual, bit of matched betting, housework, surveys etc. I want to get the house reasonably tidy so that I can enjoy a bit of space on Mother's day. Some hope!!

Have a good one, everyone, off to scratch and bank x

hypno06

10ps only on the scratches, but £15 M/S in which has been transferred to the debt/savings pot.

I have £30 in my purse, and a whole £8.49 in the housekeeping account.....I need £7 to cover expenses for the M/S, and £7 for race entry this evening.....so I will be taking flasks of coffee to the race this evening and buying lucozade from the supermarket where I can get their own version far cheaper than the real thing from the ski club......etc etc.

I get my child benefit on Monday, so as long as I can make what I have got in my purse last the weekend, I will be alright until payday, as the CHB will cover everything I need before the end of the month.

This budgeting lark is tough, isn't it!! I know I could dip into my "savings" that I am building up from the MSE extras, but I am really trying to prove to myself that I can manage on my basic income.

And of course, it highlights that spends in Waterstones and the like, really should be considered more before parting with the debit card :rotfl:

How is the savings pot looking at the moment Hypno?

hypno06

£621 in the savings pot, benben.....all from MSE money and sticking to budgets, putting any surplus at the end of the month in there.

I am using it as a two fold thing - one to build up savings to cover emergencies such as fixing the car or repairing the boiler if they are needed. second to encourage me to stick to my budgets. I need to know I can manage on my basic income, and I have to be strict with that, because we never know when the MSE money might dry up, or if I were ill I wouldn't be able/inclined to earn the extra in the same way, so I need to know I can survive on the minimum.

So far, so good.....

Just done a lightspeed survey - now need to get showered dressed and out of that door!

What a disaster yesterday evening was for you I'm so sorry it went so wrong.... and then a weird night's sleep as well, oof. I hope today is a *lot* better for you - and yes, I agree, this budgetting lark is tough! I'm about to blow mine on a bus fare to the nearest local town - there's a *massive* garden centre there, and some Barratt houses up for part exchange - I don't want to live there, but I want to see what new build looks and feels like inside.


Take care
