    Whoo hoo! I've just been invited by Shop & Scan to do a survey for them...an unexpected extra £2 in the kitty this evening...am hoping this is the start of great things to come :rotfl:

    My car sharer is back car sharing this week - only likely to be one free journey for me, but one is better than the none it's been for a few weeks :)

    Also done all the usual MSE stuff that's too boring to repeat on here re home made lunches, nsds, blah blah :rotfl:

    Quick heads up folks - Onepoll going great guns today, must have earned, oh, at least a pound :rotfl:
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Recently I've.......

    *Went away for a long weekend but had a 24 hour stomach bug........so didn't need to eat / buy food :D
    *I'd saved up the cash for the B&B - it was meant to be my treat but my BF insisted on going halves - so have paid the left overs to my Mortgage as an OP
    *Watched my MPG and actually planned my petrol refills to ensure I have enough petrol to last me until I pass stations I know are going to be cheaper - this involves a spreadsheet :D
    *Charging Phone at work
    *Today a free lunch at work
    *Cooking Chicken Gumbo tonight!!!! Woo-hooo
    (Although not sure how MSE it will be as a lady at work told me to put Chorizo in it :o - apparantly if I do that, it makes it a Weight-Watchers Receipe :D)
    *Nectar Searches all maxed out
    *Nectar Canvass doing my noggin in.
    *You Gov survey
    *Halifax Jiggery Pokery
    *Heating back off
    *Placed an order with Perfume Parlour. I know this is an expense but it's a money saving expense :o I don't know about anyone else but that little spray in the morning makes all the difference to how I feel. I love Ralph Lauren Romance but at £60 for 100ml I really really can't justify it. I don't even want to justify it. So the Perfume Parlour helps satisfy the need but in an MSE friendly way :p
    *My most recent OP has meant that I've now knocked of 6.66 years off my mortgage. This is clearly a bad and evil thing so am now looking for more OP money.


    Anti-MSE, Anti-Diet, Anti-everything:-
    *Discovered Rachel's Organic Creamy Rice Pudding :(:(:(:(:( Please don't judge me if I buy more tonight.

    Eh hem. Think you've forgotten to mention something. ;)
