Morning everyone,

Long time lurker on this thread and thought it time to pitch in my little attempts to try and save money for the mortgage! Not sure if I will have lots to share but thought it time to come out of lurking!

• Completed VO survey £1.50. I have completed enough for a £10 voucher but by gum it's taking a long time to get added
• Delivered all my Avon orders last night despite my friend coming down, she came with me!
• Went to work and got a free costa coffee for me and a client, need to remember to submit receipt!
• Posted ebay item
• listed another ebay item and total bids are at £34 so far with 2 days to go! Wooooo!!!!

Not so good!

• Bought a ham roll for lunch! £1!!!!! But resisted the cream cakes even though they were REALLY shouting on me to buy them!

Today is not an MSE day today. Punctured tyre

Front tyre. The fronts only had about another 2 months tread on them if that so 1 was not worth repairing and as it's better to have matched treads I'm having them both done.....right now. £164. Would have got something cheaper if I hadn't needed them this morning. (A friend in the car parts industry has recommended a website for tyres called BlackCircle - and they do quidco cashback!)

At least my £164 will go on my cashback CC and when I come to pay it off next month I can pay it out of my savings as I put away a liitle a month towards potential car repairs.

Hope you all have a more cost effective day

Thanks Tabatha! And well done for managing for so long...

Today:

* the usual really... TAB/ Tiki / Sun, breakfast & lunch from home, charging phones at work
* NSD!!! At last... :jNearly didnt happen as found out I had forgotten someone s birthday and was gonna go buy one but have got cards at home... as he was going to receive it late anyway, I thought one more day would not make much difference to him but would save me a few pence...

That's it really but next 3 days should be NSD (hopefully) as I'll be stuck at home... although may have to go and buy the Daily Mail to get the free Body Shop body butter...:p

And from me:

* Bought a guaranteed to work or your money back drain cleaner.. ..guess what? It didn’t work so the receipt has been sent off today to get a refund
* Usual Tiki/ clickies/surveys
* 73p NVL survey
* A tip I need to pass on..Are you like me and want to delay having a much needed colour at the hairdressers? You too can disguise your roots by making your hair into a giant bouffant – (think Bridgette Jones arriving at the hotel in the 2 seater convertible). It works ..not sure for how long but it works
* Tolly 2,400k and a 4k survey
* 3 of the children eating at their grans - save food
