    Hi everyone :wave:

    Milly - your smilies are looking good today! :)

    Today my list looks like this:

    - HM lunch @ work
    - post mobile (finally - was meant to do this last week) so will hopefully get piggypoints in a few weeks.
    - put some coins in the jar
    - super quick shower (ok, was mainly cos I was running late for work but still counts!)
    - print inserts for wedding invites at home using paper my sister had left over from her wedding 5 years ago! Result. See what you can find when you raid your mother's loft!

    Will catch up later when I'm not at work...

    Today I have

    Bought two bags of fruit from market 50p each
    Elastic to make necklaces at rainbows only 15p/mtr and its a pretty blue (not my money but very mse)
    Crisps from poundland
    and sausages from m&s (gluten free and good price)

    DS tutor has suggested he has a longer lesson; this will shorten the time he takes to complete the course but it will be another £16 per week, I will have to go away and tweak the budget:o

    Dinner from freezer shepherds pie (those who were reading will say what two nights running, but we had stir fry rice yesterday from freezer again)

    Need to laminate Rainbows posters and go early to bind feathers together :cool:
    Washing to go out on line for afternoon (only thin bits so should dry)

    Enjoy the sunshine - well those of you who have it:T
    My finances are work in progress.
    Normal veiwing will resume shortly

    I-need-to-make-£ - I don't know if the company will change your voucher - but if you don't ask you don't get! Write a letter explaining your circumstances and plead nicely! Good luck

    Cancelled my AA renewal today. They want £50 this year and I only paid £27 last year (and got £20 cashback).

    They put me through to cancellations who immediately said they could do it for £28. I hate companies who send out renewal quotes stating 'if you want to renew, you need not do anything,' but if you want to cancel, you have to ring this premium rate number, go on hold got 5+ mins then justify why you want to cancel!

    Still, £50 saved and will join again, or RAC as a new customer and get the cashback again :D

    Apart from that, surveys, clicks, scratchies and food from leftovers today

    Oooh, congratulations Cleosmum! Hope the computer says yes (or at least that the nice manager is wise enough to ignore the computer!)

    ((((((((Struggling people)))))))))))) Seems to be a few folk having bad days - hope the sunshine made them more bearable.

    Haven't popped in for a few days despite promising myself I'd come here every day! Oops. Still, onwards and upwards. Today I have...

    * ate tasty breakfast, lunch and tea at home :)
    * had BOGOF hot cross bun from freezer (friend donated, so didn't even buy the first one, lol)
    * walked to work and back
    * had cup of tea instead of pot in cafe - 25p saved there, woo hoo!
    * checked online bank
    * transfered £10 diesel money from one account to other
    * emailed re potential bit of work which could be £200-£300 :):)
    * emailed about another potential bit of work which could be £200-£400! :):):)
    * packed lunch for work tomorrow

    And I'm now off to have an early night, which is MSE because, er, um, I'll be well rested in the morning and so will have time for nice shower and proper breakfast and to walk into town rather than getting the bus, and to be cheery and not stressed and therefore not buy unnecessary comfort food and ruin SW eating and therefore have to pay for longer and longer and be grumpy about it.

    Does that count as a decent excuse to go to bed??

    Night all!
