Had a good but tiring time as did the kiddiwinkles!!

I'm posting off for 50 pounds worth of free M&S vouchers today so will hopefully be able to sell these for nearly face value on ebay.

I also am going to place a matched bet later on when have done baths and bedtimes.

On the list for today as well is finding ideas for school lunch boxes that I can make in bulk and freeze in daily portions as DD goes on to s/wiches on Thurs.

wooooooohoooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!! its my lucky week :j

just renewed my mobile contract and not only did I get £50 immediate cashback the lovely guy in the shop cut by bill by £5 a month and got me a better package (saving me £60 per year) so of to update my total by £50!!

then when I get home I get a call from indiefield to say Ive been accepted for a mystery shop which I think Ill get £35 for!!

finallydebtfree!!

not challenge related but I returned a couple of bits today (showing my mse ways!!) it was only £7 but still £7 is £7!!!!!!!!!!! normally I would have thought oh well never mind its just £7!

last weekend I got 2 pairs of leggings on 2 for £15, but afterwards decided I didnt really need 2 pairs (and tbh I probably wont wear the pair I kept very often but Ive already worn them) so anyway I returned 1 pair which mean the refund I was entitled to was only £3, the lady looked at me as if I was crazy and said that the pair I was keeping are £12 so was I really sure I wanted to return the other pair which technically were £3 (did she not think I had worked that out???????) it obviuosly was a bargain if you needed both pairs but as I dont I didnt want to pay £3 for a pair I didnt need!

I also returned something else for £4 to new look, again got looked at like I was crazy!

so all in all my trip to town today cost me -£57!!!!!

WD FDF - result! My contract expires in around a week, so will call T-Mobile to see what they say - ideally i will get a nice shiny new phone to flog on e-bay as am happy with mine...!

finallydebtfree!!

think I could have got a better deal by cancelling my exsisting contract and renewing via quidco but then that wouldnt have been guarenteed at least this way the £50 has been refunded onto my debit card so I know Ive got it!! plus I can be earning interest on the money rather than sitting around hoping I recieve it!

Hurrah! After moaning on Saturday about how badly my challenge was going, and subsequently getting lots of support from people on here:o I decided to list a load of stuff on ebay yesterday and the first thing sold today for a buy it now of £15! so feeling very pleased indeed.
Thanks to all for the support and enouragement:beer:

Just got in from a workshop at Uni, checked my emails and found one from quality eye for yet another focus group Haven't added it to my tally though as it is not until next Monday but that will be another £55. I also have one this coming Saturday for indifield for £60 but won't add it to my running total until then.

As FDF says its going to be a good week for us all, I can feel it in my waters
