I can't think of a witty name for my diary

Also need to change SAO now I have started working as things will obviously have changed but that's not for today!

Spoke a bit to soon about OH coming home - he is still stuck at work.

Glad I got back into my swagging - just ordered my second Amazon voucher after doing the daily survey and watchning some vids.

I have had a bag of crisps because now I'm not sure when we will eat

I think tonight I will do some comping and fit a bit more Sheldon in

Hi

So much for OH coming home soon Friday - ended up staying at work for a while think I cursed him ooops

That is good though because the time it happened & others needing to stay means it will be classed as overtime

He mentioned going to a quiter pub when we got in but then bought cans instead :eek:

He also mentioned having chinese but ended up buying food and pop in morrisons instead, not bad £7ish

Meant my Sainsburys vocuher was not used, although OH is going to use it for fuel - I did not realise you could do that.

He bought chicken breasts which we had that night. He also bough chicken which he left for hours but then still used for sarnies yesterday but I don't think rest of it will get used :mad: not sure it will be okay

Yesterday was a lazy NSD for OH who was in house all day and only spends for me were train tickets.

Had pasta that had been taken out on Saturday instead with wedges and cheese - so no garlic bread - meaning everything from home.

I have worked for 10 hours over the weekend. Today I had a free drink from work and also took water bottle out.

Spends for today - train tickets, throat sweets and milk - 1.19 - should of bought it from a shop not the train station - and I did not take my 1p change - which I feel kinda naughty about :S.

OH has gone to the pub and plans to stay out for just 3.... so we will see what happens there. He also plans to watch footie tomorrow night and has avoided going out on other occasions for this - which seems like a little progress.

And I have not been to the pub since last Sun - working at weekend helps because yesterday felt like a weekday.

Been doing a bit of comping just now.

Hi

Today I have -

Entered the daily comps I usually do.
E-mailed my boss.
Trying to register with a dentist - work in progress - phone problems
Swagbucks vids, NOSO & offer vids
Showered
Contacted dialaphone about money I am expecting
Been using salt & water though day rather than using loads of mouthwash (yuk)
OH had 2 drinks and came home yesterday evening :eek:
Had corned beef slice, veg and mash for tea - all from home & potatoes need using up
I plan to have something with ham for lunch (got some in fridge opened OH won't eat it if its been open for a few days)
OH took food from home for lunch
Not sure about tonight (I am constantly on about food :D) - there's a sexy looking pizza in the fridge
Have started attacking my kitchen - another work in progress :rotfl:


Need to check Valued Opinions! And should check Onepoll!

Hi

Well OH has gone to the pub which is a little annoying but fair enough I suppose.

I have just done a couple of surveys on VO - think I will stick with the Sains vocuhers but they can be used for fuel - makes sense as is so much more expensive than food

Also have swagbucks on in the background "watching" the vids. I was looking on Amazon earlier and thought maybe bulk buying food from there with the vocuhers (if its still around)! may be an idea - I never think that far ahead :eek:

As soon as I get paid for work I itend to put travel money in a seperate account - been a bit of struggle with having to pay out for it all before getting paid.

Have been to the bank and paid a bag of 5 and a bag of 1ps in.

Today has been a NSD for me.

Phones4u (I meant them in last post) have been a pain today.

Tea - sticky chicken and rice (OH says it needs chips too - anyone would think he was 7 ) as the chicken has today's date on and the pizza I mentioned earlier has tomorrows on

Hey

Have been over on the freebies board. Used to love sample sites so will have to check what is available on those to. Something else to do, something else that will save a little bit of money on treats or useful stuff - and keeps me motivated if I am not winning comping - I tend to focus on one thing for a while and then just sort of drift off.

I have signed up to a few of the product testing ones.

Got SBTV on in the background

Hey

This week work Tue-Sat.

Oh went out for a bit on Tue night but did not stay for long = less pennies. Although he has gone for a bit tonight too as he is off work from tomorrow - he did have next Tue-Fri off but has cancelled it so he does not spend more

Tuesday night = pizza and beans.

Yesterday I had lunch with mummy which she paid for and I did not buy anything whilst we were out.

Tea for OH and lighter meal for me from stores yesterday.

Today free drink x2 from work and sleep in afternoon

Tea - shep pie with veg and yorkies (and chips for OH)

Need to buy mouthwash - OH will get that tomorrow - I think that lasted quite well with me having throat problems & also noticed that we have not quite run out of fabric softner - OH had bought some more because it seemer likely we would run out for about a week

Just spoke to my grandma

Not spends today for me but just gave 6 pound I had on me for the pub.

Extended my overdraft my 100 covering a couple of OH's DDs and my train tickets (which I may have paid for on a credit card once otherwise and there would be charges if the DDs were not paid)

E-mailed boss.

Pay day for me tomorrow :cool:

Need to do -

Pay mum some money back
Put aside travel expenses (just for one week as OH gets paid following week)
Pay some money off credit card
Transfer OH some money to cover another payment
Have a Chinese over the weekend... (lol maybe)

Sheldon o'clock soon :cool:

Not going to do much tonight maybe a little comping and swagbucks and an early night. (Poll & NOSO = done).

Ok, so I won't have Shepard's pie as it needs to be defrosted!! Doh

So I am going for pie pie - have a couple of indivdual ones in freezer. With freezer mash - because I am lazy and veg. Will cook in halogen oven as I expect it uses less energy. OH gonna sort his when he gets in.

Also got hours wrong for work have a few less than this week.

Brain is frazzled today clearly so that is all :rotfl:

rubyinamountainofrocks_2

Did not do much last night over than watch TV, sort stuff for today and cook/eat tea. Applied a swagbucks voucher to my Amazon account.

OH had 2 bags of crisps (or rather the sofa did :cool:)

From to do list -

Pay mum some money back (have transferred it apparently she did not want it back but I did not realise)

Put aside travel expenses - originally did this in online saving account but OH asked me to transfer the amount to him as he needs to give me a bill and is going to give me the cash back so I will use that

Pay some money off credit card - £10 online

Transfer OH money to cover Next payment = done (high this month due to it including items that he has actually taken back)

Have a Chinese - actually thinking homemade chips tonight as I have potatoes that need using & making freezer mash too. OH mentioned an Indian that does a really good deal on a Sunday so we may go there if offer is on bank hol as we probably won't see much of each other for next few days other than Sun. Well that does leave Saturday

Today I have -

Took water from yesterday as I did not use it so just stuck in fridge over night
Bought - bread, milk, crisps and sweets from morrisons

Have no bread (as I discovered this morning ended up with a crumpet that's been living in the freezer for a while ) and milk has todays date on

Crisps - on offer, actually compared it with another offer this works out slightly better. OH takes crisps to work often. This was a smaller pack so stops me eating them coz they are there Also all S&V in that pack so I know they will all get ate

Sweets - just me being naughty. Usually I would buy Haribo which cost a pound in there. Went for morrison winegums instead 60 something pence (branded ones in a smaller bag as well as more expensive).

Also bought mouthwash from savers as its cheaper - determined never to pay full price for it again (and it was OH's "favourite colour - he told me to get another if I could not get that which I found quite unusual lol).

Free drink from work x1

Phoned phones4u - the person I spoke to told me in about 30 seconds what I could not get out of anyone on Monday Looks like I should have some money from them in a couple of weeks or less.

rubyinamountainofrocks_2

So -

Did have chips last night - chip sarnie.
OH & his bro had Chinese.
Didn't do much - TV & Mr Grey

Today I have-

Used money OH gave me back for tickets as planned
No other spends
Free drink at work (tea - must have saved a few pennies this week as been having at work rather than home)
Worked
Looking for ideas on Amazon.
Swagbucking away here
