    Not a lot to report here. Over the last 2 days I have:
    - bought a posh John Lewis cardi from charity shop :)
    - got a £5 voucher from Morrisons petrol so have OP'd £5 :)
    - bought some cheap leggings and actually dared to wear them today (mutton/lamb & too fat above knees issues :o)
    - went to library to save money on buying books :A
    - paid a £2.80 fine while I was there :rotfl::o
    - sold a few things on ebay :)
    - bought a few things on ebay :rotfl::o
    - pumped up tyres which is supposed to save fuel (I guess if you put enough air in the car sort of hovers so less fuel used hmm.gif)
    - fed Peefer the mortgage pig :)
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
    :) Mortgage Balance = £0 :)

    I was good today and hung out the washing :) mostly towels, so they dried fairly well, and just need a little finishing off on the radiator.

    It's been an NSD... yay!

    Weather forecast for tomorrow is sunny, so I'll do my clothes washing overnight and hang it up first thing in the morning and hopefully it will all dry properly! I'm WFH tomorrow, so can keep an eye on it even if the forecast is wrong.

    * Managed to spend absolutely zero this weekend

    * However a journey cost me approx. £15 in petrol. There and back kept an obsessive eye on the MPG. I did the return leg by the most economical route although it was slightly longer and more irritating.

    * I downloaded an app called Viber to my iphone. It allows free calls between iphones with Viber. The iphone is actually paid for by work in the first place so the savings isn't mine, but it shows my heart is in the right place ;)

    * Completed 2 Shopper Thoughts survey which should make 300 Clubcard points

    Saw 5p in the road. Walked past then thought of you lot and went back and picked it up :rotfl:

    A guy I know gets a kick out of throwing small change out into the road and waiting to which of his neighbours stop to pick it up.
    Im torn between looking like a stingy git for his entertainment and feeding the mortgage pig !

    This weekend I have:

    - Accepted appointment from local Council for poll clerk at referendum on 5/5/11

    - superglued DD2 (13 year old) shoes to avoid buying new - money and stress saving

    - Put DD1 prom dress on Ebay and Trade-it - just hope it sells.

    - Opened cash can - £596.50 to pay to mortgage - mostly £2 coins with a odd note or two.

    - Spent 3 hours delivering newsletters for work - should be an extra £20 in April's pay
