Wow what a wonderful weekend, yesterday was spent enjoying the sunshine, we went for a lovely long bike ride, it was great to be out with DH and the kids and we all really enjoyed it, took a small picnic with us, did stop off for a cheeky drink at the pub on the way back, £12 spent but was worth it.
Once home sat outside and had a BBQ, have caught the sun, but not burnt, just a healthy glow:D, kids are also looking a nice healthy colour, hope this weather continues.

Also made £5.04 on ebay yesterday

Sadly had to go to work today, but only on a half day, posted ebay parcel and withdrew £170 to pay for school trips:eek: that are happening over the next 6 weeks.

Postie has brought me some toothpaste to test, so that's one thing to cross of the shopping list:), every little helps.

Currently have a chicken roasting in the oven, will have this evening with salads nom nom. Going to bake some fairy cakes but i'm waiting for the chickens to lay as I only have 2 eggs, keep nipping out and checking, think i'm going to have to give them a talking to :rotfl:.

drinks at pubs on bike rides are a necessity no need to explain yourself you wouldn't want to be dehydrated now would you lol

Hope chickens lay those eggs for you! We had rubbish weather here all weekend hoping sun hasn't gone for good !

Bike rides and drinks at the pub sound lovely Pennywise. £12 for a day out is good value as far as im concerned .

Hope the chickens laid so you could bake!! xx

AFternoon, just a quick update.

Today has been a NSD:D, POstie has brought me a £10 sainsbugs giftcard from valued opinion.

Trying hard to keep up with surveys have a coupe i need to get on with, also must check onepoll and adpoints.

Really need to do some baking, but short on margarine, so going to have to wait until I go shopping.

Doggie at vets today to have stitches taken out, she is fine and much more bouncy than I would of been.

Hi Penny

Just been reading through your diary, you're doing great

Have a nice day x

pennywisepoundstupid

Thanks for reading caterpillarx :wave:.

Can't believe its the weekend already, this week seems to have flown by, have lots of housework to catch up on, so going to spend today doing that so we can have a nice fathers day tomorrow.

Yesterday I nipped to Sainsbugs after work, went armed with list and vouchers, shopping came to £51.98, used a £6 off £40 shop voucher, £10 giftcard and £5 worth of nectar points getting it down to£31.98 :j, was very happy.

Got home to find that postie had brought me some tanning lotion to test and £15 love to shop vouchers from tolun a, will use these for school uniform.

Have caught up on loads of surveys this morning and redeemed £3 from mysurv£y, could do with a big payout, but as usual as soon as you get close the surveys slow down/ stop, need 75p with springboard, 100points with myvoice and 120 points with GTM, to be able to redeem its really frustrating:mad:.

DD is riding this morning, hubby is dropping her off but I'm paying so that's £25 gone and need to go and get fathers day card later, so not a NSD today.

I have also clocked up 1 1/2 hours overtime this week, not much but any extra helps.

Hope everyone is well and the sun is shining again.
