    morning all

    Jo - good job you changed as you could get lots of hassel!

    Today I have sold a mattress for £20 to add to my sealed pot, unfortunately had to raid the sealed pot the other as posty delivered a packaged which hadnt been paid enough for so unfortunately now own by £15!

    check ebay items selling
    use up boots points to stock up on toiletries
    water and feed chickens
    water greenhouse
    pick anything ripe - we are VERY over run in courgettes!
    MUST do housework and sorting - rubbish/charity/carboot/papework for shredding and burning!

    i joined Quidco and the othernight used my 1st meal deal voucher with some friends..a nice night and bonus the other half paid for me!

    Its payday for me today - bonus that payrol seem to have forgotton that it was supposed to be half pay! Not telling them and certainly not spending anything just in case...knowing my luck it will go horrible wrong.

    Went wedding dress shopping yesterday - the nicest dresses are the more expensive!

    have a good day

    Sam
    been away for a while..need to get on financial track!

    Not sure if this is really the right place to post this but.... I paid off the last payment to my old Next Account today :) I'm chuffed to bits!! No more DCA chasing me for money - and although there is a default on my file - it's "satisfied" and I can deal with that.

    It's payday today and I couldn't care less about the sales or the fact I'm out with the girls tomorrow night, I'm buying NOTHING new and feeling smug in that fact. Also because I'm on a mega diet, I'm not drinking tomorrow night so feeling smug that I'm saving calories and cash!!
