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!!
* NSDMortgage Free x 1 03.11.2012 - House rented out Feb 2016

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)
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.0 -
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.0 -
