Thanks Chev, yep am looking forward to it but pretty nervous

Storage wise I currently have the following on top of my bathroom cabinet; 6 x shower gels, 4 x deodorants, 6 x large shampoo and conditioners :eek: In the boots of the car there is a 6 pack of mineral water, 2 large boxes of cheerios and a box of frosties, in the food cupboard there are 4 packs of 9 kitkats, 3 packs of cadbury caramel/crunchie/dairy milk biscuits, 3 boxes of choc chip elevenses, 3 bottles of robinsons squash, and under the sink theres a huge box of persil, 4 bottles of fabric conditioner, 2 bottles of dettol spray, 2 packs of batteries and a big tub of vanish Think the bathroom stuff is fine, am going to look for more stuff for the food cupboards, other than chocolate But at least I won't need to buy any of these basics for months so hopefully will see a difference at some points in the shopping bills

Payday today :j

Another day another tesco trip I got yesterdays voucher through which was for £13.88 and todays shopping came to £32 which went down to £19 after the voucher, and the reciept has been submitted which should get me another £13 voucher tomorrow :beer:

I could push this offer and only buy things that maximise the returns, but I don't think I'm doing too badly from it, and am only buying things that we would normally use (or treats that we'd like but don't normally buy ). So todays shopping included various bits that I actually needed as well as dtd items: another 2 bottles of dettol anti-bac spray (I am loyal to this brand and love it so am very pleased to be getting it free), another bottle of fabric conditioner (they're paying me 23p to take it away ), 6 kinder eggs (always useful for an Easter egg hunt and worked out costing me £1.26 for 6), another bottle of squash and a huge box of teabags

Thats it for this calendar month, it can all slow down a bit now for April as you can only submit 10 receipts a month and can only claim £100 dtd per month, well when I say only, I think its mighty generous of Mr T's to give me so much free shopping, every little helps as they say :T :T

Just added up my tesco deals so far, and in total I have spent out £99 in there and have got shopping worth £151 with another £33 vouchers left to spend :beer:

Tonights mfe update is going to be very similar to the last few ...w

• paid £5 wages into mortgage pot
• collected £98 expenses from work
• received and spent £13.88 tesco voucher
• earned another voucher for approx £13 tomorrow
• completed all surveys from my inbox

In not such good news I broke a tooth tonight eating a mint I will call the dentist tomorrow and luckily I get free dental treatment because of my tax credits, but I still hate going

Saturdays date: I'm wearing skinny jeans and a really nice top I got in Gap a couple of weeks ago in their sale, with heels. Its not a flash restaurant, its a modern bar that has a restuarant area upstairs that does freshly made pizzas. Its one of the bars I go to with my mates quite a bit so I will be comfortable enough there

Morning all Thank goodness its friday, its getting harder and harder to get up each morning this week

Just done my monthly electricity reading and in March we used £34 worth, which is a huge saving on the previous month, and is due to the heating not being on :T

Roll on 3.05, I need to veg on the sofa
