    Evening all :) Another monday done, after school we went to play footie in the sun, then nipped to mr T's to spend the £20 voucher they sent me today :D So far now in this promo I have: Spent £28 on shopping yesterday, got a £20 voucher, got £35 of shopping today but only cost me £15 with the voucher, and have just submitted that receipt and should receive a voucher tomorrow for approx £15 :beer:

    I could just get £20 of stuff and use the voucher but I don't have the nerve, and the other stuff was stuff we needed or will need at some point anyway, such as guinea pig stuff. Tbh, even though this promo is fab and could net me loads of freebies, I'm not adding any money to the mortgage pot from it, instead I'm taking the opportunity to stock up on loads of stuff like shower gel, shampoo, fabric conditioner, batteries etc, and hopefully then the shopping budget will go further over the next few weeks if I don't have to keep buying them.

    Dinners done and its just baths left to go tonight :)

    Nothing yet from the csa, he started his new job yesterday (yet another :cool:), so his first payday will be the end of April, when he's *supposed* to make a minimum payment of about £400, but I think I've learnt enough not to expect to see any of it ... So at least another month before a payment is even due :o Gotta see how far that £20 can be stretched :rotfl:

    It was going well, but then I twisted my ankle as I went out in the dark :p so I'm back to the beginning.... I've had a week off, ankle feels ok so will try again in a couple of days. I'm planning on cycling to work/school for the next 2 days weather permitting which will get me back into it. I was knackered though!! :o:o:o:o:o
