    I was going to do this too, but thought it was a bit complex. Instead, I just picked two DDs that didn't get cashback from S123 and were static amounts - in my case TV Licence and life insurance.

    HTH!?

    TV licence? You're a genius Cal! I can change that tonight :) :beer:

    TV DD switched, thanks again to Cal for saving me some time. Think I've still missed the first fiver, but hey ho!

    Dark and miserable today, incredible the difference an hour can make!

    Bought Mrs E's Christmas card, her first present and the first item for her stocking. I am like a big kid at :xmastree:

    Will order her another one tonight, just rooting around for cashback/voucher codes before ordering.

    I think she's already fully kitted out :D

    Another monotonous day today, at least I'm doing something vaguely useful. Managed to pick up more Christmas presents too - I'm on fire ;)

    Rushed home, carved a pumpkin (essential, not bad for 15 mins work) and had a nice dinner with Mrs E. Also managed our first mince pies of the year, with a 'Christmas coffee' and whipped cream. Now for some scary TV!

    We're off to a drive-in movie tonight :j

    I am hoping I don't get too scared watching Halloween outside, hopefully Mrs E will protect me!

    Another very busy Friday, seems to be my new busiest day of the week and that suits me down to the ground.

    Picked up a few items at M0rrison's - fellow frugalistas be aware that they are currently selling 12 cans of chopped tomatoes for £2.50. Even compared to L1dl that's a good discount :money:

    Managed to find a small stocking prezzie for Mrs E today, but will probably need to rein in the present buying (geddit?) for just a little bit, as we have a few events coming up.

    Now £153 down because Mrs E 'needed' a new phone. Works out c. £5/mth cheaper over the next 2 years, but I honestly could not see what was wrong with the HTC phone at £10/mth from Tesco Mobile.

    Boys and girls can be very different sometimes :rotfl:
