    how do you find kgb? I've only used groupon once, which was a fabulous bargain and a smooth free experience from start to finish. KGB looks very rough around the edges in comparison and I don't find the offers for me region so exciting :cool:

    The offers in my area aren't fantastic, but I check them every day just in case! A lot of the time they're for beauty treatments I wouldn't use - same as Groupon really :D

    I also use a website called itison which has deals for Scotland, I don't know if it's national or not. I'm always on the lookout for a bargain ;)

    Morning folks :D

    No mortgage overpayment today, but I have put £5 into my Virtual Sealed Pot which is being saved until the end of the year for some kind of treat. The original plan was to buy myself a lovely Mulberry handbag in the outlet shop in York, but that's now not an option for this year as we had to cancel our trip. I might use the money for new clothes when WW has finished doing it's good work ;)

    I have eight Ebay items that didn't sell last time waiting to be relisted tomorrow and have some other things in a box waiting to be photographed and listed. I'm going to spend some time this afternoon writing descriptions so it should be a simple copy and paste exercise tomorrow. I have crafty things to sell as well as clothes, just need to make sure that the photos show the clothes off well.

    I have managed to make 125 Swagbucks this morning as they seemed to have a load of things sitting in the Trusted Surveys section. Dull work, but I'm now halfway to another Amazon voucher so it can't be too bad!

    Must get moving - I need to have something to eat then I have to go and return my library books (need to find one of them first....!) and possibly go to Aldi for some fruit. It depends if it looks like raining or not to be honest!

    Happy new diary f_f and welcome to MFW! :T

    Sorry you had to cancel your holiday and I hope Mr f_f is feeling a bit better, IBS doesn't sound great though. :(

    If you are still looking for a MFW spreadsheet you may want to have a look at locoblade's one here.

    Thanks for the heads up on ebay free listing this weekend! :D

    Good stuff, Fresian - hope you got your fruit.

    I was dropping things back at the library today, too, and managed to convince the librarian to wipe my fine while I was at it. :D

    Well after mentioning the M-word this morning, I got an email through from Mulberry telling me about their online sale. Thankfully the bag I've been lusting after wasn't included, so my savings account lives to fight another day ;)

    I have returned my library books, borrowed another three and made it to Aldi for fruit. Somehow that meant I spent £10, but I'll try and figure that one out tomorrow!

    I've written up descriptions for 14 items for Ebay tomorrow and the will to do more has officially deserted me. I hate listing things on Ebay. I'm hoping that the items will sell though - I also have eight things to relist so that will hopefully help.

    Dinner tonight was at Pizza Express with Mr Fresian. I maintained my WW ideals to a point by having the pizza which has salad in the middle where dough should be, but failed at the starter round when I had doughballs. They were really yummy though :D Back on the horse tomorrow with lots of walking planned as long as it's not too wet. I would also like to try and achieve a NSD tomorrow as it feels like it's been a while.... :rotfl:

    I've used itison as well, quite liked it :)

    LOVE Pizza Express :D Goat's cheese and spinach all the way though!!

    Does Mr F have to be careful what he eats if they think is is IBS?

    I was dubious about the pizza with salad in it, but got one which had king prawns, cheese and cajun spices (I did swap the olives for chicken though) and it was delish :D

    We're still waiting to find out if it's definitely IBS that Mr Fresian has, once that's determined we can look at diet. He's not very good at doing what he's told though....

    I unfortunately did find one of the many bags I covert in the sale :o although feeling positive as managed to resist getting more than one :rotfl:
