    NSD! :T

    Made cornflake cakes also! Becoming quite an expert at it ;)

    Also made a very MSE move today. I bought my little bro Paco Rabanne Ultraviolet aftershave for his crimbo out of boots - 50ml for £30.50. This was at the beginning of the month. Browsing the semi-chem website earlier I found 100ml for £19.99 :eek:!!!!!.

    Hunted it out, along with the receipt and marched it back down to Boots! I only had about 2 days until the 28 days return thingy ran out as well.:D I am well chuffed with myself. I have bought the new £19.99 one with "real money" and the £30.50 will be refunded to my BoS card :T - so much for no more over payments eh!

    2 items ending soon on ebay - I will be back soon with the result.....

    Morning all!!

    PAYDAY!! :j:j:j:j

    Got a rather surprising £1,296.09 into my bank this morning ?? I have no idea how my work make mat leave money up as last month I only got £1,060. But well chuffed this morning!

    Operation Mat Leave has almost been met! £210 into savings!

    £240 into shopping budget (will add this to my sig I think :T)

    £56 whizzing off to Santander as we speak too!

    I think once I have shifted all the money to various pots, I have about £60 left :o. This is not including my tax credits and child benefit for the month though. I will see how much of this I can keep and send as much as I can (Along with survey money, ebay dosh, any quidco etc) to OML, the day before next payday.

    Holibags (Haven) next week has a budget of £120 assigned out of our holiday savings - might get a few bits for lunches/juice etc out of the ASDA shop for Sunday.

    Off to fix my sig.
