    • Post Ebay items to buyers
    • Spend no more than £10 on a bday present for a friend
    • Spend no more than £10 on a meal out tonight £7.50
    • Check PPH for work
    • Check YouGov
    • Send in my CV for an interim role in London - boo!

    Thanks for starting the thread DNM, hope everyone has good DFW days!

    ' <-- See that? It's called an apostrophe. It does not mean "hey, look out, here comes an S".

    Hi all, apologies for not being around much over the last few days.

    Accomplished so far today:
    • charged phone up at work
    • not spent anything at the ridiculously overpriced coffee shop at work
    • had lunch at home
    • walked the dogs
    • sent DS1 and 2 off to work experience with packed lunches
    Still to do:
    • daily clicks
    • toluna
    • onepoll
    hopefully make a little bit on all of those.

    On the downside work experience for DS's are in 2 different places. One starts at 8 and the second at 9, then early one finishes at 5 and the second at 6. Over the course of the next 2 weeks I think it will cost me about about 500 miles in fuel or £50 ish :eek:

    I get to multicolour my list when I do things :)

    Hope there's not much eye rolling today!

    I loved your list yesterday

    Not much eye-rolling today....tried a new tact - deep breathe, sigh and answer.

    Might have to ask what the woman's problem is before too long :eek:
    ......I really do not like confrontation, but this woman would try the patience of a saint!

    hm pie later for tea

    Are these items related to one another by any chance!:D

    Hi all - quick one from me. So far today I have / will:

    1) Worked a half day.
    2) NSD
    3) Packed lunches all round and all meals from stores.
    4) Hokey cokey drying inside, including a couple of car boot bargains for yesterday.
    5) Cooking a banana rice pudding in the slow cooker to use up my glut of milk and bananas.
    6) Checked banking, quidco and do SC. OH appears to have accidently used my quidco account instead of his own as I have 27p tracked that I know nothing about. ;)
    7) Will watch a DVD tonight, hired free from Blockbuster through the choccy promo.
    8) Attempt all available surveys.

    Have a lovely day, L x

    :rotfl::rotfl:you're not the first one to ask that today - pie is not pheasant - he's too pretty to put into a pie :rotfl::rotfl:

    Well done on the mysterious quidco 27p - my OH thinks you're only allowed one account per family - ahem :o - so he uses mine!

    :A

    elfen well done on juggling money to make it a nsd

    I've just changed dd's euro's we swapped ages ago and I'd forgotten about in my purse for £'s (£50) and the petrol cost (£50.19), so used 20p in 5p's from the car, does that make me have an almost nsd too? :)
    Total debt 26/4/18 <£1925 we were getting there. :beer:
