    Monday... nope its tuesday.. :j


    So... managed another 3.5 mile walk yesterday afternoon... so that's 3 exercise sessions done so far this week.....not sure about tonight yet, I have 2 late afternoon jobs I need to do, so will need to pick my days.....


    Money news..


    I am up to 10000 points = £50 on sainsburys nectar... I complained about the coupon website not registering my purchases online so they sent me 2000 points... whoop whoop.. not actually sure what I am saving these for at the minute but will keep going.....Have been doing lots of surveys on the nectar canvass site as well...


    Have banked my free £50 cheque and another £10 of 20p#s.. they add up really fast in my house.. so £87 short for holiday payment this month.. but haven't done the £1 pot yet so all will be fine....


    Busy work week planned and a night out on friday..... (not with Brogs...!)

    Tis Thursday.... and I have been a busy working puzz... no exercise last night as by the time I had got dd and done her dinner etc it was 7pm and I was ready to sit...!!


    Not sure about tonight as I'm not collecting dd till 5.30 and then cooking etc.... will see maybe able to for a late one if my friend fancies it...


    Well.... Bearing in mind we are in a recession well coming out of one....


    A few months ago I complained about a food product from Waitrose that went off and they sent me a £10 voucher...


    Today I went to spend it on 4 specific items of which they only had 1 in store so not worth getting.. I went to the customer services counter with my empty basket and list and had a little moan.......The manager told me I was not allowed to leave empty handed and walked me round the store finding alternative items to my list all for free...:T What service...


    I also got 2000 nectar points from sainsbugs for complaining about coupons not processing so worth another £10 and £50 from Diamond Insurance for the expired website offer....


    Come on folks, keep throwing money at me.. i'm poor....!


    Happy Puzz....(bit fat but happy....)
