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!Bank Balance: In the black for the moment.

:heartpuls CG :heartpulsEver wonder about those people who spend £2 apiece on those little bottles of Evian water? Try spelling Evian backward.0 -
Today we have....
- Walked to town instead of getting the bus, saving £3.20.:T
- Filed another N1 for £229.00 worth of bank charges from HSBC.
- 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.
