    Hi everyone! :wave:

    Woo! Managed to log on from work!

    - did a quick shop before work - got ingredients for moussaka so I'll make that to last over the weekend. £7 for 6 portions so was quite chuffed. Also got some woopsied bread for the freezer and some laundry powder with £1.50 off.
    - NSD @ work. Brought in HM soup. Mmm.
    - yoga tonight so that'll keep me out of mischief
    - listing a coat and a pair of trainers on ebay
    - will check mystery shops/piggy clicks later
    - emailing a friend so I don't need to call (only get free calls included at the weekend now).
    - got a confirmation from Clubcard that my vouchers have been dispatched - might go out tomorrow night courtesy of Mr T. Unfortunately the coin jar won't be buying the vino though - £10.45 only and not in the same coin so I can only bag up £1 in 1ps and £1 in 2ps. There's almost next month

    Happy Thursday!
    xx

    PS: I really love this thread - it's so motivating and upbeat and full of nice little hints and tips about how everyone else is being DFWesque. I think it's really important to be positive about a situation (and the little steps are what keeps up the positive outlook). Thanks everyone!

    Just back from the shops and have got quite a haul for the money/vouchers i had...
    Got 3 smart Tshirt tops, 1 nice work top, 1 pair of smart trousers, pair of jeans, some gorgeous heeled red shoes (quite impractical but fab and used a gift voucher towards them), a face cream for £1 in Boots (used £5 off voucher) and a load of school stuff and 2 books from WHSmiths (using the remainder of a gift card and £3).

    Not a bad stash for the cash! And only £10 over budget (bit naughty but I hate shopping so only go once every blue moon).

    Off to do a job app now - have a good afternoon!

All will sell so get them all packed up ready to go tomorrow all sold and packed up. might pop out later to post them as I managed to convince hub to give me some money from his expenses he received today seen as I paid for the petrol for the trip! :pstill count it as NSD though as the postage has been paid for by the buyers ;)
    - scratchcard 10p
    - check for mystery shops done but none
    - surveys checked but none to do. will check again later
    - listed a DVD on amazon
    listed an item on ebay

    Posted all my ebay sales. Walked there and back and got soaked! Glad that's done.

    Got a £3 luncheon voucher from pinecone so have put it in my purse for when I next go shopping :)
