Oooooh you're a REALLY bad influence;) I really would be here til next Christmas saving for an iPad - aren't they about £400? I do have the money in my savings account but I'm sure I can manage without one - I love my laptop a lot too so will be happy with that:D

You passed :j

Ooh well done you passed the MSE test because I was only testing you you know :whistle:

Shopping has been - £68:eek: But, I have cupboards and a freezer that are bursting at the seams so we won't go hungry;) And, they sent me 2 free pot noodles and a some frozen bags of rice+veggies:D They did send the wrong flavour tortillas though so will email and moan about that.

I was just putting a 5p piece in the pot of coppers/silver on top of the fridge when I thought i may as well see what was in there - as it's on top of the fridge I can't see in it, never pick it up - so was very happy when I had a look and it was full. Have bagged up lots of it - £20 in total:beer: Duly added to the Kindle fund:T

Girls still in bed the lazy little ratbags...time to go and hoover or something:p

Ooooh I am soooo sensible:D I would love an iPad, but I can't justify it unfortunately - and reckon if I did have one then the girls would only whip it away, causing no end of arguments...see, it's not worth it;) DD2 is already talking about when she'll be using my Kindle...:rotfl:

A lovely quiet weekend for me - 2 NSDs:beer: I did have the shopping delivered, but that was all out of my grocery account - I didn't sneak any non grocery stuff in - no stationery, newspaper, etc;)

I've even been getting my essay prepared today:D I do need to get to one of the college or Uni libraries, have had to email as I'm not officially registered with Uni now, I just have an extended submission date. So hopefully they'll sort my cards so I can get the books I need. Managed to find one online and printed off some pages i need. Dull essay though:o

Place is quite tidy - I hoovered everywhere, washing is all off the airer and put away. DD1 just needs to come and tidy the lounge as there is chopped paper everywhere from her art homework...at least she's done it though;)

Ex gave me £5 he owed me so that's my spends for the week sorted - I have £52 in my spends account so hopefully i won't touch that and can shift it to my savings on Thurs when new TCs arrive. All good:D

Right, here's Dancing on Ice....:T

Meant to add - I listed a few bits on ebay yesterday...2 have bids and the others have watchers except one. I relisted a few today too and within an hour a Nintendo game of dd1's had sold...only £6, but I did only pay £5 for it and she never used it so can't be bad;)

Oops, I have just undone the NSD by buying dd some bras on ebay. Nice new M&S ones that she does need, so I shall amend my sig - can't have any cheating now;)

My sis has booked us a holiday for this summer:beer: We're just going to north Devon for a week sharing a big caravan/lodge thing with them - for the 3 of us it's £330, so much cheaper than a trip to Spain:D It has a decked area with barbecue, all linen is included, it's an extra big one (to fit the 3 adults and 5 kids in:p). So that'll be something to look forward to. It's gone on bro-in-law's cc too and they're happy for me to pay back what I want each month.

I've done my nails tonight with a yummy coffee colour the girls gave me for Xmas...I love having nicely painted nails:D Mine and dd2's packed lunches are made, dd1 has dinners. I'm going to walk to work (as long as it's not chucking down) - determined not to use the car much.
Hope all had a lovely weekend:)

thanks for this...dd has a few wii games she's never played, I could get rid of them

Afternoon:D
Got some of my coins changed into notes - £25 shoved in the little pink pink along with a £2 coin I got in my change from poating the ebay parcel. The fund is coming along nicely. My shop+scan points were added so going to go and see if I can claim a £20 voucher now:beer:

So, an NSD today - ebay postage doesn't count;) Walked to work today so not used the car...I am good.

I emailed Uni to ask about my registration card not being valid in the library now (as officially I am not a student, so my expiry date on card was last June) - he said they'd send me a new card with this june as my expiry date - if it's the same card then I'll be very happy as shops used to accept it as proof of student-nss for discounts...wooo:T Fingers crossed:D

Chicken pie, mash and veg for dinner...yummy.

Another £5 of coins will be changed tomorrow - had to get more bags today for them. Pretty pleased with the Kindle fund:p
