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.Debt at highest May 2006: £27,472.24

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.Bank Balance: In the black for the moment.
