A couple of MSE activities for this evening- I have joined the Royal Mail surveys and been accepted, so we'll see how that goes! I like the idea of being paid in stamps, I could transfer the cost of a stamp to my ops each time I use one.
I ordered a gro blackout blind from ebay for £14.99. This is £25 full price, and I can't imagine we'll get much use out of it, so I'm happy with a second hand one.
I should be able to do my wages account tidy up tomorrow as my mobile bill will have been paid.Slow progress is better than no progress.

Heaven blessed.

Did a transfer of £50.22 from my wages account, so that has helped boost the overpayments a bit!
Another NSD today, I'm losing my nerve a bit, really want to go and buy some potatoes or something...Slow progress is better than no progress.

I couldn't cope with the pressure, so I bought some potatoes and a pack of rolos!
MSE activities today:
renewed car insurance, £72 cheaper than if I'd just accepted the automatic renewal with the same company! I'm going to transfer the £72. I went through quidco but there were so many t&cs that I'm sure I won't qualify for the cashback, but it is £50 if by some miracle it apppears.
I bought a nice jumper and trousers from Boots for my friend's little boy who is one this week. They should have been £20 exactly, but the buy one, get one half price kicked in on top of the sale price so ended up being £8.49. I now look very generous!
Went to a new baby group today that was lovely. I think I'm going to make some lovely new friends, and so will Mini-MSE.
My echeque for the phone was due to clear paypal today but nothing yet...
