    charging my phone (and their phone) at work.
    Got some fresh bread and cheese on way to work for 2 lunches for the price of 1 sandwich
    Didn't go out and spend money at lunchtime
    Got a multi pack of choc bars the other day so had one for a treat today - less than half the price of our vending machine

    Today I -

    Haven't spent a penny,

    Redeemed £8.48 from Populus surveys on TCB,

    Edged closer to another Onepoll payout (£30.30 and slooooow going),

    Cooked a Lidl chicken and should last me all week with some inventive cooking, :)

    Made some flapjack to take to work so i'm not tempted by vending machines,

    Over halfway to another £5 Amazon voucher on Swagbucks.

    Last DD has gone out of the joint account so tranferred the remaining balance of £6.99 into the monthly mortgage savings account ready for Feb overpayment.

  • * Saturday night we were boring and decided not to go to the Cinema as we'd planned but stay in and eat Asda popcorn and watch DVD we'd got for Xmas. Trouble is we fell asleep half way through

    * Called round at my mums last night and she gave me a big bowl of chilli and a baguette. Ate some of the Chilli last night, some of the baguette today with soup and will have the rest of the Chilli tonight. Love tasty freebies :D

    * Rest of the week am living out of the freezer - I just need to buy some Carrots and Broccoli tonight. Bought Yoghurt's last week on offer. Already got milk in.

    * Charging mobile at work

    * Free banana and drinks at work. Lucky girl. (Trying to avoid the free chocolate and biscuits :o this week)

    * Been really bad at maintaining a good MPG recently. But on Friday night drove down to BF's - about 70 miles - and got it up to 46mpg. Kept my eye on it this morning as well - looking good :D

    * YouGov survey to do this evening

    Anti-MSE:-

    * Am going to an exercise class tonight. ££
