    Me again!
    * worked out at the allotment for a few hours again yesterday and came home with "free" veg for tea.
    * reading lib books and knitting for entertainment.
    * caught up on some surveys
    * sort of NSD today (does ebay bidding count?)
    * trying not to get carried away bidding on ebay for a new hands free kit for my car. It is very hard when you don't really know exactly how much you are willing to pay for the item and I don't want to have to keep logging in to check auctions - I wish you could bid on more than one of a thing at a time and have some way of only winning one :rotfl:

  • Didn't have a NSD as I saw some very cheap dog toys online thanks to the MSE people. Spent less than £10 though.:)

    I read that wrong, I thought you meant you were going to make up meal plans for the rest of the year in one go!:p

    I would need a much bigger freezer! I have just wrote down what I plan to have for the evening meal until the end of the year and then that should stop me thinking I can't be bothered and sending the OH to the chippy!!

    Recently for me:

    * checked out the value of 2 body shop coupons posted out with orders - there is a thread on the shopping section here which helps you work out if you have a £3, £15 or £100 voucher and telling you about magazines which are giving these coupons away too.

    * used boots extra points coupons from the machine with purchases

    * got a bargain on laundry liquid - 25 washes of Method in Tesco - http://www.methodproducts.co.uk/ind_laundry_air.html SEL said £3 but scanned at £1.50 :money: I have stocked up for the next few months.

    * earnt my first CP voucher from my shopping entry (now need to pick which one to have).

    * kept up scanning and shared the registration link for my scanning panel

    * tried to get the £30 cashback from the https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/4330077 deal but I am not sure I filled it all out properly so it tracked. I have a referral link here if anyone wants to try it, or you can get a non-referral link from the MSE thread or delete the end of my link: http://www.imutual.co.uk/?ref=6053
