    Hi there hypno et al.

    Today on this lovely almost-Spring day I have:

    * Got a lift to & from work.....these will be stopping soon and back on the buses I will go.

    * Froze some left over olive bread from dinner tonight, for use with a HM soup I will make in the near future I'm sure.

    * Did all my piggy clicks & usual Quidco stuff.

    * Helped someone discover the joys of QuidCo & PigsBack and in the process discovered some surveys on QuidCo (just search for the word "Survey" in QuidCo) which I have done and earned a bit more :T

    * Sorted out a lift to London on Saturday rather than getting train which is a big saving (phew!).

    * Took HM lunch to work.

    * Checked my EBAY account and there are people watching my two DVDs I stuck on there which I didn't really think would generate much interest! (Fingers crossed they sell.)

    I hope for more things as the week goes on as I need every penny saved where possible right now!

    Ever wonder about those people who spend £2 apiece on those little bottles of Evian water? Try spelling Evian backward.

    Today we have....

    1. Walked to town instead of getting the bus, saving £3.20.:T
    2. Filed another N1 for £229.00 worth of bank charges from HSBC.
    3. Filed in and presented to the courts an AQ for the interest outstanding on the Lloyds bank charges. (They've paid the charges, but didn't pay the interest, £107.00.)

    I still haven't updated our spending diary, I'll do it in a mo, when I've washed the pots.

    Skimming is simply taking moving off a set budget to put towards somthing else.... for me its petrol...

    I do 550 miles a week and budget 260 pounds a month on petrol... so my money saving challenge is to save 5 pounds a week.
