    I've been Money Tipped!
    Hi all,

    Hope everyone is well...sounds like there is a bit of a bug making the rounds so to those who have been ill, hope you feel better soon!

    I haven't done much money saving this week but I did find £5 in my Oyster card holder this morning that I had hidden away on my last trip and forgot about so I'm in profit today :)

    Today I will:
    meals from stores
    find receipts and put in expenses claims
    cancel car insurance renewal (found somewhere cheaper, yay!)
    transfer money to no-fee card for holiday spending
    trial run packing for holiday (to check weight)
    get lots of work done (only one day left! eek!)
    try to think of something to get my dad for father's day (hopeless)
    enjoy the sunshine

    Have a great day everyone!

    Hello all :j
    Just dashed in to see what everyone is up to...

    Congrats to Stitchy on business success, and Pippi on thesis handed in :j I remember feeling a bit odd when I handed mine in, glad I had done it, but as if there were something missing ... do you feel like that?

    My (rather pathetic) list:

    HM meals including packed lunch (tho did succumb to a yogurt from the canteen to go with it :o)

    Read news online and picked up free paper at the station

    Pennies in pot

    Walked dogs for free exercise (extra exercise - weights - as I had to carry little dog #1 most of the way back :rotfl:)

    Watered plants

    Washing dried on line

    Thank heaven it is Friday tomorrow - but I have discovered I have to go away next week for work - grrr only one night, but that is after a full day at a meeting in London, and involves a flight, a full days meeting at destination and then another flight back :( I will be working at home the day after that lot, I think!!!
