Back from my round of credit union - smartie party - L**L weekend shop (manager has four broken pallets for me to collect this weekend) and home via CS as DS2 had £2 from Grandma to spend....... when the phone rings and I head back to playgroup to coveer for one of the leaders who's little lad was taken ill at school.

I have gone around the block so often today I am meeting myself coming the otherway:rotfl:

Time to make a TO-DO list I think and do the rest on auto-pilot:D

Happy Fridays!!!!

Lovely Mummy is collecting DS1 from school for me - so a huge cup of coffee is planned and then some washing on methinks.

When I can think again I am going to "Grocery Challenge" my way to the 16th of next month an see how much of my income I can really throw over to Big Horse Debt.

The difference will have be made somehow as this debt is toast come November!!

Remember MG, it's not just about being frugal, it's about generating the income too. We know you can Grocery challenge your way through any situation!

What's the plan for the pallets... I used them to fuel the wood stove last year...

It's FREEZiNG here, and OH has gone to visit his parents, so as soon as phone-based work is done I'll be lighting the fire and working in the sitting room. I need to do some thinking about how I reorganise the house as I'm half way through and it's chaos!

Jeepers it is cold out there - just back from signing on. I have a thin summer skirt on and the wind fair whistled through it...oo err missus:eek:

My advisor at the jobcentre was stunned that I have already filled in 4 pages of the evidence book since I first attended last week. I enquired after a job that I had seen on the jobcentre website and so it was found and printed off. This would be an ideal job as I could walk there - admittedly I would have to walk up quite a steep hill but it would take me about an hour to walk there (and I am getting too fat anyway) - there is no way in the winter that I would contemplate taking my car that way because the hill on which the business is located is horrendous in the snow.

Am a bit confused though, I rang up and was asked how old I was (I thought they weren't allowed to ask that any more?), the chap answering the phone thought I sounded as though I was 19:D (Thank you grandma for letting me inherit your young voice and unwrinkled and unblemished skin:D). This is a telephone appointment generator (I am pretty good at getting appointments) which pays £6.08-£8 per hour plus commission, it would mean working a 37.5hr week (9-5) but what threw me was the fact that it is a self employed role - surely if the job is permanent then it is not self employed? Anyway, I now waiting for a call back. This is the job that I feel a tad uncertain about because they have no website yet they have a domain name that is used as an email address and I cannot find out anything about them.

One of the Playgroup Mums has helped me by loading stuff onto ebay - Just sold one lot at £20 BIN and have taken an order for a set of kids "kitchen Helper" steps - painted pink with girls name on for another £20 from another Mum.

So that money will be popping across as soon as I have it in my hands.

Off to feed the washing machine

Really pleased. Managed to get free tickets for the Ideal Home Exhibition adverised in this weeks :money:email. Got megabus and megatrain tickets to and from London for £42.00 for two plus 50 pence booking fee. Converted £20.00 T**CO points into £40.00 megabus vouchers, so a day out for two at the exhibition for £2.50. Bargain.

And looking at the website on that day apparently the Jersey Boys cast will be at the exhibition, a show I have wanted to see for some time.

How exciting is that?

Almost as exciting as MGs carpet bargain.:rotfl:

Wow, loads of fantastic stuff going on here. Well done MG on breaking the £100 barrier. TDQ, what a bargain.
