    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    I haven't emptied the fridge as there is a lock on it and it cant get in! I have cleared up all the crumbs around and behind the fridge though! It was quite a treat!

    We have also been having issues with both our cars so I managed to find a few hairy sweets behind some of the seats so it should keep me going for a while!

    Hoping you are all well, and less bored by now as its Saturday!

    I would... for the record...like to make clear that I do not lock the fridge!! ;)

    Having said that, its true, both cars have been playing up ... an I did find a toffee behind the seat (in its wrapper it wasn't hairy!) which I lovingly left for Mrtyo to eat! I am such a lovely mrs I tell you!! :D:D

    Credit card paid off (ish!) as its been an expensive month!

    In good news:
    * Saved a LOT of money today using self-control! :D only spent what cash I had in my purse (just over £1) when shopping when I could have easily wacked many lovely things on the credit card!

    *Mystery shops set up for the new few weeks which should net around £60

    *£124 ish at the end of the month to come from one of the FD a/cs.

    *Free eye test via work

    * We have a few vouchers which I am going to rifle through to plan some fun days/evenings out - for free! :p

    To do this week :

    * Search for /compare car insurance and breakdown prices. Our renewal price has just come through a few hundred quid higher than last year (don't know why they think we will just pay it without thinking!!)

    * Hunt around for anything amazon-able!/ebay-worthy!

    *Remember to use tcb when buying stuff!!- have spent £100 on presents this month (not all my money) but annoyingly forgot to go through CB site first!! doh!

    Happy sunday all, just sitting with a cuppa trying to get warm!
