    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!


    What are you going to do with them? Car boot sale?

  • Hello all, first time posting on this..

    Spent day writing blog and on MSE site so a NSD :o

    Making lunch for work tomoro (but do this anyway so maybe doesnt count?)

    Found a handbag suitable for ebaying (although that was after buying a new one at the weekend :o)

    Rang up and getting replacement nectar card after finding out they had closed my account after not using for so long

    Planned freezer meals until Thursdays shop.

    Phew-that was harder than I thought!?

    :D

    Ordered a free sample of Soap Nut Shells for washing clothes instead of washing powder, only paid P+P (75p). According to the website its only 3p a wash. We`ll see how I get on with this as Luton has horrible hard water,

    Hi there, just catching up on some threads and saw you post about the soap nut shells, never heard of them before... so had a quick look and I've just ordered my free sample too!
    Fingers crossed that they work and then I will be placing a proper order!!
    Thanks!!

    No, I'll wear them - I've come down a few sizes and I've not been clothes shopping apart from the odd charity shop and supermarket!

    Ordered the free soap nut shells (thanks, usa1). Did weekly shop at Lidls and Sainsburys, spent £50 in total, and got lots for it.

  • Today I....

    Had a freezer surprise tea - we are seriously low on stocks until 'big shop' on Friday, have been away a lot so wasnt worth a shop last week, now I feel like i havent seen a fresh vegetable in weeks!

    A NSD even though it was feeling more like a Twix day, I managed to avoid buying one.
    (Note-just remembered I sponsored someone for £2 so kind of makes it a spend day after all Grr!)

    Charged phone at work :p

    Did all my money moving around so now I should be able to work with whats in my current account more easily.

    Made lunch for work as per usual..

    I need to step this up a bit I think...

    Hope everyone is well! :j
