    Made lunch for work,

    Tea from freezer,

    Small top up shop from Aldi, bought some super six fruit,

    Petrol from Sainsburys, used nectar card,

    Two surveys from Swagbucks, close to another £5 Amazon voucher,

    £25.85 in bank from Pureprofile,

    Picked some blackberries in a local field, about 800g worth, freezing half for now and making a crumble with the other half. Think there's some elderberries too but they're not ready yet. When they are I may try and make wine :)

    Today I -

    Ordered my brothers Christmas present ! Thinking and planning ahead so it's all done in plenty of time. Bought from Amazon and paid for by Swagbucks vouchers so cost nothing. I hope he never finds out how tight I am :o

  • Hi all,
    Transferred £11.21 topcashback earnings, did loads of onepoll surveys, and did some gardening without a spontaneous rush down the garden centre at the end to fill the gaps vacated by weeding :-)
    Off camping tomorrow morning to Wales. I think we shall be getting wet!
    Happy Bank Holiday all!

    Happy camping LTM :)

    I managed to drop a pack of bacon on the floor this morning - had only just opened it and taken 2 rashers out. What a waste :( DH said best to throw it away and as a veggie I wasn't going to argue with him. So not very MSE.

    Walked to and from Mr A to get shopping with my granny trolly, saving petrol.

    Remembered to put the milk in the fridge today!

    Scanned my shopping (just the fresh veg to go).

    Shopped under the bed and found some clothes for DH - shame I just bought him 2 new pairs of trousers last week :D

  • Hi all, (returned from camping a day early thanks to my inability to sleep in the tent in pouring rain)
    Got given a binbag full of clothes by my sister as she was having a clearout, I'm so excited!
