    Daily clicks is the other thing I need to look into. I just don't have much discipline when it comes to things like this. I suppose you get into the habit.

    This MSE lifestyle could almost become a full time job:rotfl:Daily clicking, envelopes, surveys, NSD's, PAD, sealed pots, slow cookers, review writing, mystery shopping, ebaying....

    you have been super busy and very productive. But love your Friday night treats.
    With the slow cooker I really don't get on with it. General complaints were it all tastes the same. I think I might actually sell mine.

    Perhaps you can sell it to Mags!

    Well true to my word, I set the alarm and was up at 7.15. By 9am we were both showered and had breakfast, cleaned up kitchen and had the mince browning to go in the SC for the lasagne.

    I have stripped both beds and put new bedding on and hoovered up the stairs and both bedrooms. One lot of bedding is on the line now blowing about nicely. I love seeing clean washing blowing on the line :)

    I am running like a well oiled machine today ;)

    We have been to the library and I have come back with 5 books that I won't have a hope in hell of finishing in 3 weeks :o. I have filled up with petrol and got extra points added to my Texaco card.

    I think I'm going to have scrambled eggs on toast for lunch. Not had that for ages. DD will have a sandwich - she hates eggs.

    Need to do my list for the town. I need to go to Tesco so will pick up a Clubcard while I'm there, get some scissors from Wilkos and a few bits from Boots which I will use my Advantage card for. I am going to have to bite the bullet and get some more of that nice body lotion, I have really noticed the difference since it ran out 2 weeks ago. Then I will get my eyebrows done. Also need a birthday card for my aunt.

    Spent ages last night trying to delete everything from the 2 mobiles I have managed to find. I really will get on later and sort the envelope thing out, thing is I end up on here and before I know it, it's really late :o

    Well this seems to be a day of firsts! I have so far:-

    Applied for a Clubcard
    Registered 2 old mobiles for cash
    Blagged a freebie at the Estee Lauder counter

    and

    drum roll

    louder please

    bit louder

    LISTED MY MUSE TICKETS ON EBAY !!! :j

    It wasn't as difficult as I thought. I just need to keep track of what's going on with them. It has made me feel a bit braver about selling other stuff. i'm sure I've got loads of stuff lying around I can [STRIKE]get rid of[/STRIKE] sell.

    Got all my ironing done this afternoon so can have a fairly relaxing day tomorrow. I am absolutely shattered.

    Well done on the e-bay front. It can become quite addictive watching bids on your items. When I first had my LBM I put loads of stuff on ebay. It also made me realise that I bought some tat:D It's also led me to be more careful about what I buy in future (that and having no money:D)

    I tried the daily clicks but I don't have the patience but today I'm going to work out what the scratchies are that peeps are talking about.

    Have fun with your plans today.

    * Polesalot is getting right into eBay ;) *

    I have listed 5 more things. Just clothes that I have managed to sneak out of DD's wardrobe :o I thought I would be able to get rid of a school uniform dress that my friend gave me ages ago that is miles too big but when I hung it up to photograph it, it had a bright yellow stain at the front! Not a small one either. Goodness knows what it was, orange juice or curry or something. I have just put it on a fairly hot wash with Ace bleach and it hasn't shifted at all. Grrr....will need to try something else. I fear it is there for good so is no use to anyone.

    Had a lovely night's sleep. I thought I was coming down with something last night. I had a headache, felt really achey (but put that down to pole class) then when I was reading in bed my nose, throat and ears felt really itchy. I feel fine this morning though :)

    Not got much on today. Was going to go to Mum and Dad's for a roast but she has just rung to say that they've got mice :( and can she come down here and cook the dinner (we're only 5 mins down the road) as she can't bear to go in the kitchen. Suits me anyway :)

    Going to have a look at the other diaries and see if I have any surveys. Still need to delete all the photos etc from one of the phones I'm sending off so will have plenty to keep me busy even though this is a quiet day :rotfl:
