    Happy Birthday Emily!

    Today I have.. used some nice postcards I already had at home for friends' birthdays instead of going to buy cards.
    Remembered my home made lunch which I forgot yesterday!
    Transferred some Paypal money out into my bank account to reduce the temptation to go back on eBay and spend it...

    Have a good day all...

    today i have made chicken/sweetcorn mayo n pasta for my two "boys" (ds and dp :rotfl: ) to take to work/school saving them buying something. and......drumroll...... i have bought my wedding dress :D :j :j i have been looking around for a while and due to being built more for comfort than speed :o there isnt a great deal of choice in my size and was resigned to the fact that i would have to buy a new dress from one of the plus size wedding dress shops which are few n far between :rolleyes: and i thought that minimum i would get away with spending would be about £500 if i was lucky. anywayyyyyyyy to cut a long story short i stumbled across one in my size on ebay second hand only worn the once :rotfl: which she originally bought for £1700 :eek: and i snapped up at the bargain price of £150 :j :j :beer: so now i have the wedding dress of my dreams which looks far far nicer than anything i have seen so far and i`m dead chuffed with myself for saving money that can now be put towards a honeymoon :money: i just need to get on and book the venue now...i wonder if the guests will mind beans on toast for their meal?:confused: maybe not!:p
    proper prior planning prevents !!!!!! poor performance! :p

    Hello everyone and a very happy birthday to Emily! :)

    Well now. Today I have:

    * Got yet another lift to & from work to save on bus fare.
    * Did some QuidCo searches and discovered £25 from Cahoot has *finally* gone through after about 5 months, so I should get that in the April pay out as well as anything else I have due :j
    * Took HM lunch to work.
    * Am just off to do Pigsback things in a moment.
    * Posted an EBAY parcel (buyer paid p & p so apart from that it's a NSD too!)
    * Did an economy/line dry wash.
    * Had a nutritious yet cheap dinner (made by my lovely BF).
    * Saved some spare change in the appropriate pots.
    * Saved some packaging for future EBAY-ing purposes.

    So that's not too bad I think for a day.

    Hope to have some more success tomorrow too.
