Well, holiday was great, good fun & met some lovely folk. Felt so much better for weight loss, even felt ok walking round pool in bikini (not sure other guests felt the same :rotfl:) but am back with a lovely dose of prickly heat :eek:. OOoooooooo scratchy scratchy :mad:.

Back to money saving now:
- £35 to own BTL
- Peeferpig nearly full so will be coughing up soon
- Tenant lost bank details so couldn't pay rent in & also lost my phone number so couldn't get in touch. Still, she has now so am sure all will be well, eventually
- 1st pay with nothing deducted for pension as have started to pay into SIPP instead, that's a BIG paypacket every month:eek::T:rotfl::D:cool::o:j . Shame I'm paying £500 into SIPP
- Monsoon cardi in charity shop for £6.99 today

Plans for weekend:
Sat - ebay ebay ebay. Lots of stuff to list
Sun - prepare paintwork in bedroom & undercoat inside of wardrobe. Only 4 weeks late

Off for cool bath :rotfl:

Glad you had a good holiday - and pfft who cares what anyone else thought about you enjoying the sun in a bikini! Hope the prickly heat subsides soon, my sister gets it, only hers doesnt just confine itself to being a rash she literally turns in to one big blister if she over does it (and I obviously haven't spent the last 15 years teasing her mercilessly about it).

:wave:Morning all :wave:

Busy few days ahead:
- Peefer Pig only coughed up £17, but transferred to own BTL
- unexpectedly received £2 in vouchers for a survey I'd done, so £2 also transferred to own BTL
- no impact on end date from these 2, but it should come down a month next week
- shopping list done. Priced up on mysupermarket for Tescos as they had best offers. Off to Morrisons 1st to see what is cheaper there, they too have good offers this week
- £65 on petrol yesterday
- meal plan done and is mostly from freezer
- lovely pot of tomato, lentil & bacon soup made yesterday in slow cooker. I put a lot of bacon in it so it cost around £2 but there are around 8 servings, as opposed to Covent Garden stuff at £2 a go :eek: (obviously I only buy that when reduced to 19p ). Think I will buy a ham hock for next pot, duly added to shopping list
- was going to buy lots of tupperware with screw lids for soup but have decided to line the ones I have with freezer bags then, in theory , I can lift out when frozen
- Pair of PJ's I bought are going back so will be a little rest for poor worn out credit card
- ebaying may have to wait till next weekend, but will at least try to photograph today

Hope you all have a good day

Just found an M&S Gift Card upstairs. No idea what is on it but am accepting bets:

1/2 - £2 or less
Evens - £2.01 to £5
5/1 - £5.01 to £10
20/1 bar :rotfl:

Off to see if size 12 jeans will a) get on, b) do up & c) give sufficiently to let me drive the car
