  • Today I am mostly:
    eating a home packed lunch
    today's dinner is entirely from things that were already in the cupboard
    checking on my ebay (£75 bids, lots of watchers)
    making the shopping plan for wednesday night
    going to matalan for holiday clothes, rather than debenhams
    oo, and yes, charging my phone up at work - I'd forgotten that was a little MSE thing too!! Cheers Susie!

    Darn it, I keep forgetting to charge my phone at work; charged it last night, at home, wasted a good 5p of electricity.

    I'm having an NSD and a packed lunch though, which is good. I've also got in the habit recently of only filling the car every other day, which means the mile to the petrol station isn't travelled. One mile in 1200, I know, but that's gotta be 1p saved right there :D

    I worked out recently that my car costs around 17p a mile to run, so that extra mile to the petrol station that you are saving will soon add up.

    Today I will be starting to make my easter eggs, something I do every year as I think the thought is far more important than the commerciality. I also want to find my recipe for Easter biscuits.

    Today I have -

    Created a spending budget for April
    Washed three sets of laundry on a cold wash and hung them out in the sunshine to dry.
    Walked home rather than getting the bus.
    Ate a store cupboard lunch & tea.
    Washed a smelly Dyson filter and am leaving to dry on radiator (hoping this sorts out Dyson rather than having to buy a new sweet smelling one.)

    And that's it so far

    Have a nice evening y'all x x

    Today I have mainly been confused about matched betting...

    Have come to the conclusion that if you bet 2.01 and lay odds of 2.01, with a free bet, you might make some money unless its a SNR, A WR+3, or a BLA* in which case you MIGHT need higher odds, or to repeat the same procedure more than one time, and don't forget the cost of getting the money taken from your credit card, up to 5% in some cases...

    I am coming to the conclusion that I should, maybe, have listened more at math in school.
