    I'm up to £26.35 :T

    Also got a £5 amazon voucher from Swagbucks, plus £6 PayPal from Pinecone. Need to keep this up and get some christmas present paid for!

    Thank you Puzz and Raggy for the challenge :T

    Sorry, just read you last post, I hope you are feeling better!!

    It must have been so frightening to realise you were very ill, I've been there a few times (long, long story, but basically agonising stomach pains, taken to hospital and rushed to theatre and then 8 weeks off work. 3 times!). Wishing you a very speedy recovery, rest lots and take care of yourself :)

    Scrap the previous message.. felt alright until I went out then came over all funny.. odd... so not sure i'm completely better...shrug.gif

    Never mind I shall see how I am tomorrow...

    On the upside.. I have the slow cooker on with a hearty beef stew on the go..... its making me HShungry.gif...

    Have hit £10.05 on one poll... slowly slowly catchy monkey... still waiting for last payout.. they have until the 28th to give it to me......

    Have bought a couple of HSxmastree.gif presents online.. using amazon vouchers through shop and scan.. and received another £5 Love 2 Shop voucher from the RM surveys.. thank you very much...

    The mortgage cheque bounced out of my account so luckily I didn't rip up the second one that arrived.. bunch of numpties obviously only sent the first after I called and then cancelled it and sent the second within 3 days.... oh well it is now banked and hopefully will go through alright...!!

    Nothing very exciting to report, its quite boring being stuck at home bar the quick whizz to town which obviously wasn't good for my health.. may have to backbed.pngfor an afternoon nap, although I find I don't sleep so well at night then.. such heady decisions to have to make...

    Right off to do school run shortly.. and then to sort people566.gif no rest for this domestic goddess....

    Getting a little fed up of not feeling well now,th_footstompingsmilie.gif I think I have had every symptom under the sun over the last few days.. I can only hope that tomorrow I wake up and feel...pinkie.gif

    So again nothing exciting to report.. have paid in another £10 of 50p's to my wedding fund.. now i've paid for the flights, hopefully OH will pick up the tab for the accomodation so I'm only really saving for some spending money.. of course we will also need outfits but I shall figure that out as we go along.. its not till next summer...charwedding.gif

    Postie has just been, so off to open my letters will be back if anything interesting.....:D

    £10.40 on one poll at the moment... and still no sign of last payment.....

    well I did it.. I managed the getting up process and getting to work process with the help of an early night and yet more paracetamol.. I'm sure i'd rattle if you shook me...:rotfl:

    Needless to say the office were less than impressed at having me coughing my way round and sent me on my way.. so after some visits i'm back home resting up before my night out... yep... but let's not get too excited hyper.gif its only to visit 2 sixth form schools.....

    Up to £11.35 on one poll.. how are you doing rags and zepsgal? are you still playing...???

    Postie brought an acceptance from one of my creditors creation with the 'we are so kind we are only going to charge you 0.720% interest'... problem is on the reduced payment this won't make a dent so I will be sharpening my claws to them next month ..complain.gif . Still no word from Halifax or Barclaycard.. Confusing mixed post coming from Bank who I have 3 debts with and have spoken to, so i'm ignoring them at the minute and see where we end up.....

    Next week is of course half term, my baby... well she's 15 doesn't require my services but i've taken some days off and hope to crack on with the charsanta.gif shopping.. I've also got 2 lunches booked, although one won't cost anything so that's not too bad.. and of course its payday next wednesday..:T
    And tomorrow's friday.. well that was a short working week for me......;)

    Happy Friday...

    And the good news is I have much more energy today, although still bogged down with cold. And the other good news is its FRIDAY....

    So One Poll upto £11.75.... and have emailed to prompt re last payment..

    Done grocery shopshop.gif .. did shop n scan again, much quicker and you only need to pack it anywhere once... still feel guilty when they randomly check your items even though I'm very careful.. its a bit like going through customs I always feel guilty even when I have nothing of interest on me...:)

    The other day I ordered one of my dd's HSxmastree.gif presents from Amazon and chose there new pick up from a locker instead of delivery as it was a bulky item. Well I got the email yesterday telling me to go collect it.. and it was fab.. parked for free, lockers are in one of my local little supermarkets, enter your code and a door opens.. bit like Mr Ben.. but you get what you ordered hopefully... :rotfl:

    Last night ran on, as school things do.. so dinner became a treat in fhe form of takeaway fish & chips.. and jolly nice it was too... OH is a great fan of the Chip..... and we hadn't had fish & chips since June so not too bad, and I had enough left in my budget to pay for it...:T

    5 days until payday and my first dmp payment will go out, no more news from creditors.......famous last words.... Still got some money in the bank that I shall move into appropriate saving accounts after payday....

    No plans for the weekend, I may go and browse the shops for christmas presents, and obviously I have my domestic goddess duties to perform....:D

    Happy weekend......
    Love Puzz.. x

    And Monday again.. !

    Hope all have survived the big wind... have to say over my way its been windy but nothing compared to the big storm of 1987.. which I remember very well, I was a sweet faced 18 year :eek:

    Its half term here although i'm working today and tomorrow, then 5 days off..:T

    The weekend.. still suffering from this cold/cough thing.head%20cold.gif. wish the wind would blow that away... But at least it didn't get in the way of my weekend plans... Saturday was normal domestic goddess duties... HS3vacuumsm.gif and HSwash.gif and HSiron.gif... Yesterday I went and did some HSxmastree.gif shopping... All paid for with vouchers, its a lovely way to shop.....

    I also had a go at making some gluten free lasagnes, one was the normal beef type and one was a made up recipe involving chicken and bacon... seemed like a brightidea.gif at the time... It took me 4 shops to track down the gf pasta.... and the end results.. well I had one of the beef one's last night.. the pasta appears to have no bite.. which is a shame... Me and OH have the chicken one tonight..... will report back....

    Payday is nearly here.... can't wait to start moving money around.. sad, I know but its been a long time since i've had any to move.. and first payment goes out to dmp on Friday..... Wonder if postie will bring anything interesting today.. assuming he hasn't blown away.....:rotfl:

    Right off to do some work.. may be back later...
