I got the matterbox email too - if I remember right the previous one had a couple of prototype games in to test, I guess this one is the finished game to see how it stands up to actual people rather than developers.

Good morning, been up since 5.30am:eek:, can't sleep for some reason.

So got up made a pot of tea and have been sat doing surveys, checking banking etc.

Paid £157 off !!!!!! card, £150 was minimum payment and had recieved £7 into account from Paypal so paid that off as well:).

Todays plans are to take woofetts for a walk and drag kids with me, going to walk them near MIL so i can get eggs from her and pick some wild raspberries that are growing near her house:D.

Try and get dining room into some sort of order as it looks like a bomb has gone off and rearrange cupboards ready for when Approved food order arrives:eek:.

Off to browse some other diaries and then better shower and get dressed or else nothing will get done.

Thanks Mummy, BBQ was lovely, have some burgers left so they will do for kids lunch today:).

Today i'm hopeing for a low spend day, need to post an ebay parcel and buy an envelope to post another, will go to PO this afternoon as you never know the postie might bring me something in a suitable sized jiffy bag this morning, which will save me buying one:D.

£17 hit bank account this morning from Paypal, so that has been sent to !!!!!! card:).

Still don't know when approved food order is going to arrive, very excited about it:j(i know i'm sad).

Hi, what is approved food order ?? Really intrigued as you excited over it Well done on the extra payments to the dreaded CC.

pennywisepoundstupid

Hi Guys approved food is online food store, they sell stuff close to or just passed there sell by date, it tends to be dryed goods such as pasta, baking ingrediants, crisps, juice, tinned goods etc.

So order has arrived and its the first time i've used them, been putting it off as not been sure what the quality would be like, but have to say i'm mightily impressed can't believe i got soo much food for £50:D, all the kitchen cupboards are bursting and the sideboard cupboard in the dining room, mlots of items still in date and many items only ran out end of july well as its the first of Aug thats no biggy, kids very impressed with baker boys cakes, they are still in date only reason they were cheap is because the icing isn't perfect;) kids really don't care about that, i have just tried choc covered raians and peanuts scrummmyyy:D.

Yes i'm very very impressed and will certainly order from them again.

Also when i registered with them they sent me a 20% off code so if your thinking of putting an order in and havn't bought from them before might be worth waiting a day to see if you get a discount code.

DD and DS are now playing with the 2 huge cardboard boxes that everything arrived in.

Also today have recieved £12 of tesco clubcard vouchers, just waiting for hubbies now and might order some reward vouchers for a day out with the children.
