*mortgage payment went through

I love your post Caroline :rotfl:

Today I have:
* waited until I got home to call the Job Centre back as it was not free on my mobile.
* brought fruit and veg from the market as it is cheap and I was in town anyway to see an agency, so 2 errands, 1 car park fee
* left home with enough time to part in the free parking spaces and walk to the appt (they were full, but at least I tried)
* paid the car park then nipped back to a shop rather than go just over the extra hour and have to pay more for my parking (did have to give up on going to a second shop in the 15 mins they give you to get out of the car park )
* been to the pound shop and 99p shop and got some small jars so I can make DH jellies for work, and got a jar of cheap reduced sugar jam
* got some wheat bran to bulk out porridge
* got cheap fruit where possible - like bruised bananas to make banana bread or cake of some kind later in the week

* I also had a brilliant ipsos survey so just need to decide what voucher I want as I hit the threshold again :T
* I got petrol at Mr M whilst I was getting my dry cleaning, saving me the cost of going back over there before or after Friday's interview (or getting slightly dearer petrol nearer home/interview) and picked up my latest £5 voucher

- Like Jellie (again!) went to work! :rotfl::rotfl:(but would rather send OH to work alone like Caroline73 - you did make me giggle with that post!!! )

- Complained to British Gas about the fact that they got an appointment wrong for a service and got a lovely lady who dropped my homeserve price to £13.60 a month instead of £17 (I got cashback and a service so have just about covered the costs with these now its the lower monthly price - and insurance is now a bonus!)

- Used 5p off Tesco petrol coupon and saved £1.35 off a tank of fuel!

But caved in an bought 2 chocolate Thorntons praline eggs - one for me and one for OH (they were 2 for £1!)....but the temptation was too great so whilst he was still at work....I ate both and have hid the wrappers!!!! :o:o

Not much from me...

Completed surveys on Toluna

Done a few onepolls

Resisted the urge to go out especially for a bottle of wine after speaking to the csa - saving £5 ish and fuel cost

Looked at musicmagpie again and weighed up against ebay - MM wins so we are looking at films we no longer want later on.

Don't beat yourself up about it - the thought was there...!:rotfl:

Feels like a slow day here seems though dooyoo is still having server issues and i can't get on there.

Instead i have been playing a lot of bingo

• The current account had £1.12 interest so that went as an OP
• I did 4 toluna surveys and did some opinions for others
• Tried to do 2 mysurvey accounts i was screened out of, so got 10 points there.
• got a 15p onepoll survey - that has been really poor today
• dinner was a stew using a tin of corn beef from App. food that was really nice, and some old swede and carrots, along with some ready to bake baguettes that are now OOD and need using quickly as they will go off.
• NSD
• been updating my spreadsheets for the mortgage and budget. All is looking good for this stage of the month.
• packaged up amazon sale so i can post when i am down that side of the village tomorrow.

I'm just going to go and have a bubble bath i think tonight as i am really in a CBA mood.
