*Price checked Tesco shop at https://www.tescopricecheck.com/PriceCheck/Pages/Default.aspx and got £1.22 back. Yippee! I would recommend doing this as I usually get a couple of quid back every month for one minutes work. You just go to the site, type in your email address and the code at the bottom of the receipt. Then they email you a voucher in a couple of days if your shopping would've been cheaper at Asda.

*Asda has a similar system here: http://www.asdapriceguarantee.co.uk/Compare-Prices/ASDA-receipt.aspx

*Collected up all my spare change and had enough for a bottle of cider and some chocolate in Lidl.

*Went for a hike with my OH. Took 33p pies and 25p coleslaw with us and a flask of coffee.

I will also:

• [STRIKE] hang washing outside if fine, otherwise airer[/STRIKE] airer as the weather looked iffy
• [STRIKE] blitz the 'public' areas of the house before the new customer comes[/STRIKE] done
• [STRIKE] see to new customer[/STRIKE] see below
• [STRIKE] blitz the rest of the house after she goes[/STRIKE] done
• got to allotment and dig some lovely fresh potatoes
• [STRIKE] make granola in the slow cooker[/STRIKE] done
• left over HM chicken and ham pie for dinner - that's six days from a £4 chicken
• [STRIKE] have an NSD (possibly )[/STRIKE]

Well the customer didn't turn up or phone. I have a feeling that she thought £8 to replace a zip in a pair of trousers was far too much. After all, the zip would cost me £2.50 and an hour's work would then cost £5.50 which is half my corsetry hourly rate! Less than Minimum Wage too :mad: Who needs customers like that anyway??? I does mean I've got a lovely clean house and the lawns cut though.

Cracking on with my 101 things list today after being shamed by our wonderful Orange Fairy earlier. Must get a wiggle on.....

Stitchy- that silly woman would have only taken up precious time that could be spent on your 101 list :p:p Definitely not worth it for minimum wage. I think a clean house and cut lawns was a good substitute instead of £5.50!

Good luck with your list! I feel a bit more motivated with mine now. Some of them allow me to think creatively about activities for the kids over the hols! I'll try and fly a kite again and forget the disaster that was the last try!! :rotfl:We will go for a nice long walk to carve my name on a tree and also visit the see to send my message in a bottle!

Lol we did, we went to the Aquadrome then Frankie and Benny's. Today ended up costing me £29 instead of the £4 I would have spent in Salisbury! D'oh!

Hi Josie - in that case, waving like a silly one

(I must confess that this was my original comment, but I re-read your post and deleted it!)

Off to the in laws in a mo for the BBQ - they live near the Aquadrome
