    Hi all

    Glad your interview went well Tigzem - keeping my fingers crosed for you:D

    Sounds like a busy day for you Tadaa - well done on your sales and money saving:T

    I'm sorting stuff out for the charity shop tonight - left overs from the car boot!! Once that's out of the way, I can start getting stuff ready for Ebay to try and make some more money :rolleyes:

    Keep up the good work everyone - speak tomorrow

    Tigzem don't beat yourself up about the donuts, it's done now, and whht is £1.19 over seven days? It could have been alot worse, I will probably spend alot more if I have a weak moment! You have still done really really well!
    I have had many Light Bulb Moments. The trouble is someone keeps turning the bulb off :o

    Hi All,

    I haven't had time to catch up with you - it's been a chatty day! So forgive me for not responding to you all.
    Welcome new person who's name I have already forgotten and I hope job interviews, ebaying, charity shopping and everything else on this thread comes up trumps for everyone.

    I love reading through this thread - it's so upbeat and happy :D

    I had a good day; despite having to go to the bank and to a friend';s in a nearby town i was very good with my spending - yipee!!

    I also saved nearly 2.5kwh on the ellectricity last night by unplugging everything like a maniac - so saving money all around at the moment.

    I hope your evenings are wonderful and you all enjoy a successful and happy day tomorrow.

    Morning everyone

    Hope we're all as happy today as we were yesterday!!:j

    I'm up for another NSD today - have brought lunch to work, I'm taking some of my stuff to a charity shop at lunch time and avoiding the other shops, I've transferred money that I made at car boot straight into savings account so I'm not tempted and I'm staying in with OH tonight!!:D

    Good luck everyone, have a great day.

    Speak later

    Cool about putting your carboot money into a savings account Chele - that is *very* disciplined.
    I am going to stay in today - I've taken dd to a friend's house for the morning and tbh, I feel like going back to bed - I'm shattered. I think the weather has got to me today; it's dull and grey and I really need some sun.
    When dd comes back we'll do some crafty stuff for her easter table, so a NSD for us as well.

    have a great day everyone

    Hi everyone!

    I've not been very good!!! I went to bingo last night with my mom, she paid for the tickets but I spent about £6 on drinks etc. Then today I took some oatcakes with me to work for lunch but they were horrible! So ended buying jacket potato and salad for 55p!
