    Only just got out of bed, thus saving on electricty and heating as I was snuggled under the duvet with my book!

    About to do quidco click thrus

    Going over to mate's house later instead of going out. (Would usually stop off for a bottle of wine or beers before hand but seeing as how I am going to speak to him about his drinking, I don't feel it appropriate!)

    Do some research about LloydsTSB save the change account

    Ever wonder about those people who spend £2 apiece on those little bottles of Evian water? Try spelling Evian backward.

    Had a really good money saving day today:

    Made a card for my friends birthday rather than buying one.
    Met said friend for lunch, got a lift into the city with OH who was working then walked into the shops rather than getting the bus.
    Had tap water with my lunch so only paid for my food
    Got OH to come and collect me as it was raining by then - more bus fare saved.
    There were lots of left over sandwiches at OHs work (was working at a visit day) so we now have 12 days worth of cheese sandwiches in our freezer, that's OH's lunch for the next 3 weeks sorted :T
    Also only bought presents when I was out - nothing for me at all.
    Initial Mortgage January 2024 - £160,000
    Initial Mortgage free date - January 2058
    Mortgage as of 1st February 2024 - £159,134.98
    Overpayments to date - £79.62
    Current Mortgage free date - January 2058

    today I went to the bank and opened a new basic account. Mondays job is now to transfer all my direct debits to it and then set up a standing order to cover them all on pay day.

    That way my minimum payments are assured and all my bills too.

    Took photos of some fabric to put on ebay. I am a fabriholic and wouldn't have enough time to use it all in 4 lifetimes so am parting with quite a bit of it! Bit of an ebay virgin though, bought plenty but only sold a couple of bits.

    I've been trying to join Quidco and got through the joining process but left something out and had to go back. When I hit the join button for the second time it said my email address was already in use doh. So I cna't get any further and they haven't replied to my pleas for help.
    If you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always got!

    £2 savings club = £62 so far! ;)
