    Morning all, had my bath and todays plan involves some matched betting, food shopping, popping into mums and then going to a friends tonight where ds is having a sleepover and I will help her get started on the matched betting journey :D

    One week to go until I go back to school and also finally discover the ex's fate ;)

    And home again ... we went to mums and ds played with the dog while I nipped off to do the food shopping. I spent £55 in tescos but got some great deals including 2 bottles of parazone bleach for £1.15 (bogof) and 2 x Surf liquid (54 washes each) for £4.49 (see grabbit board) :D

    Then I nipped into Primark as I saw earlier that they have the fleece sleepsuits in, so got one for me and one for ds for snuggling on the sofa in the winter, saves on the heating bills a bit more too ;) I also picked up a pair of navy linen trousers for me reduced to £4 :T

    The bank holiday traffic was a nightmare out there, thats the trouble of living near the coast, so we're staying in for most of the day or if we do venture out it will be on foot :D

    Ds didn't go for the sleepover after all as my friend wasn't feeling well, rescheduled for tomorrow night ;) He was happy enough to go to bed wearing the new sleepsuit I got him today, so no problems with the change in plan.

    £9 profit tonight from a bet offer :)

    My tax credits payment has gone in today which means I can move £100 into the mortgage pot and another £100 into the new holiday fund :j

    Signature duly updated, I need to find about £4 to get rid of November 2019, hopefully I can find it today but if not my ebay item finishes tomorrow and that will see it off ;):D

    Buffy - the sleepsuits are incredibly cosy but you definitely have to be single to get away with wearing it, no man would ever see me in it :D:D

    The boots I ordered have arrived and I'm not tkaing them off, they're the comfiest things I've ever owned :D They are Emu boots, the same as Uggs basically but were half price on Amazon, so £80 instead of £160, and already I'm totally sold, these will be worth every singlee penny, I will live in them this winter :D

    Tonight ds is going for his rearranged sleepover and I will be helping my friend get started with matched betting. She will obviously keep the profit but I wwill benefit from several refer a friend offers, and have decided any money I make from this will go into the holiday fund. I have also decided to set up a £2 pot purely for spending money on holiday next year :)

    Been to the post office and posted off the ebay parcels (one still hasn't paid), that cost £5.40 which I'd forgotten to allow for, then went to the library to collect a book I reserved and return ds books, and had to pay £3.60 overdue fines on my account :cool: So that, plus a £10 donation to a friends charity cycle ride means thats £20 I need to add in to the end of month budgets.

    Ironing pile is also done as I had to do a couple of bits before I posted them, so at least thats one job thats done, now to get the flat looking ship shape, just needs a quick tidy up, whizz round with the hoover etc :)
