I also went into a CS and got two bargain DVD box sets for my dad - I already have several things for him so I'm up to about Christmas 2011/birthday 2012 :rotfl:but I can't pass up things he would love. I might either sell on to my Mum, be even more generous at Christmas or just keep stockpilingMorning Milly,
Today I will:
* [STRIKE]return weekly RM postings[/STRIKE]
* [STRIKE]post off application for uni card refund[/STRIKE]
* post off postal survey Must finish this tomorrow
*[STRIKE] post off uni form for loan [/STRIKE](again
)
*[STRIKE] not buy too much food as I have a few days working away coming up[/STRIKE] partial success, spent £25 in Mr A but bought some ready meals for DH to eat whilst I'm away
I do love my Christmas stash.
I was looking for a new purse for my receipts for expenses and work ID cards (different cards for different places), no luck there yet (have made an ebay bid on one - went via Quidco). What I did find was a fairly new sheepskin hat for £3.50. Much smarter for work than my acrylic beanie that tends to rise up off my head making me look like a gnome :cool:
I walked to the shops with my grannie trolley for the shopping, so I got some exercise and saved petrol/wear and tear on the car too.
Also, I decided to sign up for some more survey sites etc and was checking the freebie top cashback links and entered a competition to win asda groceries which offered me lots of "click here for lovely spam", one of which was "click here to join shop & scan". I excitedly clicked that one in the hope it is the shop and scan panel that other MSE users seem to do well from.
So, not a bad day all in all, even though my housework is a 0 so far
