    DH called the mortgage company to tell them we'd like to start overpaying by £500 a month. :j I made a packed lunch to take to work. :)

    Was thinking I would have to go to the shops today...but have now decided to make my fish pie tonight by the traditional method ie make a white sauce rather than the alternative version of using low fat cream cheese, so today is still a NSD.

    Todays contributions are:

    * Pack ups for DH and myself
    * Dinner from mealplan - avoiding buying cream cheese!!
    * NSD

    * Downloaded some free podcasts regarding Personal Finance issues so as to improve my knowledge (or they will at least help me to get to sleep at a better time ;))

    Day off work today :j (not MS exactly, but neutral as it is paid leave). And a nice break, as I am recovering from a chest infection that doesn't seem to want to go :mad:

    Posted last parcel of old CDs to Magpie - less clutter, and a little bit of money.

    All HM meals from stores.

    Dogs for walk for free exercise.

    2 eggs from chickens in exchange for some left over coleslaw and a bread crust (they had their pelleted food as well obviously but much prefer scraps :D)

    Chased up (again) a non-payment re Quidco that has been hanging around since last July :mad:

    Remembered to claim O2 reward (extra credit on PAYG phone). £6 this month as I used extra while on US trip in Feb.

    Bit of a stressful day with the kids so i didn't get online much till this evening but i have cleared my inbox of survey invites, and done all the ones i qualified for.
    • £1 NVL survey - balance now £18.50
    • 30p OP
    • 30 points ips0s
    • 175 points from Mysurv, and claimed £3 paypal.
    • played bingo but no wins
    • wrote two x 30p DY reviews. Still blooming 60p from £50. So frustrating as i am working my bum off and people are slow at returning reads/rates.

    I did that last night! :T I'll be £16 a month better off and so will DH! :j

    I drove to work today like an old lady to save fuel. :A:rotfl:

    I also made my packed lunch to bring to work. :)

    Dinner will be something home-made, not sure what yet.

    Tomorrow morning, I'll try to make a packed lunch for DH as well as myself. He's often left for work by the time I make mine.
