Another £9.66 profit to add to my total from ebay goodies :j

Another £3.50 saved for me as I got a free smothie today because I filled a loyalty card with stamps (mostly from other people's purchases ha ha) that I would normally have paid £3.50 for.

Jeez....I haven't been on for a while and theres no way I'm trawling through all those pages!!!!!
Sorry if I've missed owt important!!!
My sales have come to a complete standstill!! Haven't sold anything on amazon for about 2 weeks, not good! I dont understand why no one wants to buy "the cars that ate paris"!!! Its a great film.....:D OK maybe that one I can understand but "christine" is a classic and well worth what ever it was I listed it as!!!! Pah!!!
Have done some major money saving in the past week though: My eldest has turned veggie so saving me the cost of meat everyweek (amazing how much more expensive a carnivorous diet is!!), got a huge pile of veggie cookbooks off freecycle saving me a fortune from amazon, and although I can not find a single packet of seeds leftover from last years veg patch and the new lot will cost me £26 from B&Q - I've just saved myself £30odd by not buying a potato barrel to grow my spuds in....got a compost bin off freecycle with an access panel at the bottom so will do the same job!! :j Oh and I dont have to buy any seed potatoes cos my mum bought too many for her barrel so is donating most of hers to me!!! Shes even chittin them for me!! Woohoo!!

I love this veg growing lark...that £26 on seeds should give enough veg for the 3 of us for the year if I've planned it right!! :T Now thats moneysaving!!!!
Wonder if theres anyway I could get all my seeds for free too..... :rolleyes:

Aaaww bless ya FDF!!!
I must admit I really can not believe How much of a difference this website has made to me!! Especially this thread! I'm just waiting til I can make do without about a £100 for a little while so I can get into this matched betting lark....then they'll be no stopping me!!!! :rotfl: It'd come sooner if I didn't fork out £11 taking my boy to the flix on Sat night and another fiver swimming on Sun....£5 to go swimming..1 adult and 1 child!!!! I almost fell over!!! I swear it was £2 last time we went!!! Oh well, it's like the mastercard or whatever it is advert... £11 on cinema tickets...£5 on swimming...Pleasure 5 year old gets from quality time just him and his mum..priceless!!!! Well worth it!!

If ya wanna help you can always buy some scuba gear!!! :rotfl:

I think there was tomatoes, peppers etc all you can grow in hanging baskets.

Yeah I was watching gardeners world on Fri and they said about either flowers or veg seeds...I'll have to have a look, wasn't planning on having any hanging baskets as I always walk in to them but might be worth a go just for the freebies!!!
Any ideas how to get hanging baskets cheaply?!!!

Actually we just done that with the bird box, watched some nature thing last week with the boy and they were talking about free bird box...just happened to be in our shopping centre this weekend so went and picked one up...have a hole in my thumb as a battle scar from putting it together!!! :rolleyes: Powertools and kids dont mix!!!!
