Its finally pay day :beer: Though for the first for longer than I can remember, I was £40 in credit instead of £1200-£1300 overdrawn so I am happy.

- have made my own lunch instead of buying it as a pay day treat
- will draw up my budget for the whole of February
- have a £10 Pigsback voucher to claim
- have made a list of things to sell on Ebay (just need to get to grips with digital camera now)

Today I have:
Done two loads of laundry...one with some free Ecover washing powder I received a while ago and the other was with just one washing tablet as it was just four pairs of trousers that weren't dirty, they just needed freshening really. Both loads are now on the line and the tumble dryer is OFF.
I also phoned through a proper electric reading rather than go with the estimate from NPower.
I did QuidCo searches & Pigsback Toucan comp for my 20 points this week. Entered the usual daily competitions as well in the vain hope I might win!Bank Balance: In the black for the moment.
Sainsburys Loan: Cleared July 2010
Credit cards: AMEX Airmiles Card: direct debit set to clear balance monthly

I had a glass of water(free) at work instead of tea(20p).
I bought basics peppers instead of normal ones(double the amount for the same price and they don't look any worse quality!) whilst shopping for some food.
Used my staff discount card...as always (10% off everything helps, even if you only spend a couple of quid!)
Regarding washing, I always moan when I realise I've bought clothes that can't tumble dry but it means I save a few pennies everytime I do the washing by using the clothes horse instead - i've never thought of it that way before!
