Nothing today. Haven't been out, have being stripping paintwork on staircase.

I haven't left the house yet, but with my hugely expensive day yesterday (figured out with lunch and new pets etc etc I spent about £240.......ouch)

In about an hour I am off to collect my Avon books, so am hoping to recoup some of yesterdays spends!!

I spent £10.07 today in Asda, on essential toiletries and stuff mostly. Oh, and 22 Breakaways for £1 :T Don't buy crap like that much anymore, but I discovered a long time ago that they're gorgeous if you freeze them, so I'm doing that

£15 on some paint in Wilko's. Mr A has been hard at work painting the outside of the house, whilst I have been hard at work reading in bed:D

Wow Peachpickle! I'm going to run to the kitchen and start freezing choccie biccies! Never thought of that before. Much cheaper than Ice cream!

I've hit the thanks!

£4.97 on 2 pair of trousers on ebay for my new job i start next week .......as i now take a 12 it seems seen as my vast amount of smart clothes i have dont fit me anymore and they are all size 10!!! I blame unemployment + comfort eating!

One pair of the trousers is still new with tags and i KNOW will fit as i have an identical pair from Matalan but in a size 10 that are a smidge too tight! They are dead comfy though so i would have visisted matalan and bought a pair anyway.. but getting them on ebay just saved me £5.51 + bus fare of near £3 there and back! The other pair are from dorothy perkins... so they should be good quality!

Forgive my lack of imagination - or perhap too much imagination :eek: - but what do you do with them then?

Take it out ten minutes before you want to eat it then lick the chocolate off. By the time you've finished that the biscuit is eatable and incredibly crunchy. I never said it was pretty... Anything else you want to do with them is entirely up to you

Waddy, try penguins too. Looooovely.

Same here. In fact , I have just made my monitor shelve from some wood and screws left over when the landlords (Parents) had new kitchen fitted.

So saved £28 as thats the price of similar design at PC World.

well done . Being completely useless at such practical tasks, I always admire people who can save money in this way.

Plase don't give tips like that. I am trying sooo hard to reduce my chocolate intake
