    Got the baskets I wanted few weeks ago in Tescos for half price, thought they might reduce them so I waited ;)

    Bought 2 Tescos printer cartridges £8 cheaper than the Canon ones!

    Sold 4 eBay items (will post on Monday)

    Talked kids out of take away for DS2s birthday tea and cooked instead, saving probably £10 after costs of making them pizzas etc
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:
    GC: £200
    Slinkies target 2018 - another 70lb off (half way to what the NHS says) so far 25lb
  • I got dinner and tea paid for by the mother in law

    However was locked out of the house earlier so went to pub and bought a pint but put £4(savings from dinner) in bandit and came out with £24 so that was good :T

    My attempts have been pathetic today I'm afraid. Hubby insisted on a roast chicken from Tesco for lunch so I used the leftovers with pasta to make a pasta bake for supper and I've made stock with the bones. And I'm about to do my Quidco clicks... that's about it.

  • I went to my mum's today to pick up £50 that my brother owed me. While I was there, I went to my mum's work (cafe) where ds and I had lunch and drinks for nothing :)

    Have made dinner from supplies in cupboard & freezer. Hope to have a no spend day tomorrow!!

    I haven't had a great day today but I have managed to:

    * Do QuidCo searches
    * Enter Pigsback competitions
    * Get two lots of washing done and out on the line (but did have to use the tumble dryer for a few bits as I ran out of washing line space!)
    * Sell something on EBAY (pennies, literally...:() and reused a large white jiffy bag I got last week
    * Arranged payment on line for paying off my Tesco Visa (siggy will be updated shortly! :))
    * Resisted the urge to buy some of the gorgeous long cardigans they have in M & S at the moment even though I am more than aware that right now I am a mobile jumble sale to look at :rotfl:
    * Bought a ticket for a night out with CASH that I had saved!! :A

    I guess that's all better than nowt.
