LMAO @ Gallygirl :rotfl:

Katsu - it was frozen mince. £2 a bag. Made from Soyaprotein instead of mycoprotein. Not sure I like it much. Will cover it in cajun seasoning or something and have with pasta tonight/until further notice...mmm. In the olden, non MSE days, it would be in the bin by now!

MFW thing today - Eon customer service made steam come out my ears on Friday. They have still not phoned back to resolve the problem, so today I switched to Scottish Power. A two winter fix for only £3 a month more (Martin :money: reckons Eon will hike their prices in January anyway) plus up to £42 quidco plus I have a £116 credit with Eon which they should refund me.

Today's offerings -

Cheap tea - pastie (whoopsied) and baked beans. I go swimming on a Monday so don't have a big meal, normally 'something' with beans.

Found 5p in the pool !

Found another 5p in Aldi earlier on. Got some warm socks in their hiking promotion which I may also use for cycling to work when it gets a bit colder.

Packed lunch done for the morning including a piece of home made fruit loaf mmm.

The Daily Mirror are doing their '£5 off a £35 Aldi spend' in today's newspaper ~ voucher is valid for a week, plus you get vouchers (usually 30-50% off) for selected products

Over the last couple of days I;

- Found some roadkill (2 x 5p)

- Bought a pumkpin, have had fun carving it today and am going to make some soup using a Tom Kitchin recipe

- Bought a load of 10p bags of crisps from B&M for lunches

- Also bought a gammon joint for £2.49. Have made a large batch of broth and portioned off. Lots still left for gammon & chips etc

- Bought a couple of Abercrombie tops on ebay as I desperately need some new clothes. Haven't bought myself anything for ages. - Did get them for a good price though and earned nectar points too

- £5 Amazon voucher thru Swagbucks

- £25 Amazon voucher thru Harrispoll

- Hot water bottles at the ready for bed

- Got a bagful of stuff from Iceland with P!nec0ne LV's

- 3 x £2 coins into terramundi which is about two-thirds or 3/4's full now. Can't wait til I can smash it

- Bought some Xmas pressies. Need to tot up what I still need to get. Want to have it all done by December so it's all paid for.

- Not so MSE but good deed for the day was going to Poundland for stuff for my Operation Christmas Child shoebox. Brantano gave me a free shoebox as I don't have one. I've done it for the last 3 or 4 years now and now it's possible to find out where the shoeboxes go. Last year mine went to Bosnia

My weekend so far:
* parked in free parking when I went to town (had to sit in car and wait for the time I was allowed to park on single yellow lines )
* free exercise and free veg at community allotment (did have to pay annual membership fee tho)
* fuelled up at Mr M due to cheap prices
* stripped bed and put bedding out on the line in the wind - pretty much dried for free

Today I've linked my ebay and nectar accounts so I will always get nectar points for shopping there. I have made a test purchase after linking by going via TCB too - I can't see why they wouldn't stack up :T

* left early so could take most direct route to firework display instead of fastest, but longer, and could drive slowly/carefully instead of using the cash consuming right foot too much
* drank glass of tap water with meal out, reducing cost of treat
* resisted food at the fireworks
* free veg from allotment again today
