    • Checked birthday bingo
    • Check online banking
    • Check for new mystery shopping opportunities
    • Enter some comps
    • Do some surveys
    • Declutter & flylady
    • Heating off, fleecey dressing gowns on instead
    • Keep an eye on items listed on fleabay, finishing today
    • Washing on 30 degrees eco setting using less than recommended dose of washing liquid x2
    • Hang up to dry
    • Register Vax cleaner (bought in sale) to get 6 year guarantee, we gave it a whirl yesterday & eww, the dirty water tank was practically black!! :o I think this was a wise investment...

    Here it is:-
    Thanks flyingpig58 for starting this thread, your blog is fab, i'm loving your christmas bauble and will be trying to make something similar if I can find a bauble.

    This idea came from PootleFlump on another thread on this board

    Ideas on how to wrap a chocolate orange



    This is my first attempt which i'm really pleased with. I got my chocolate orange 2 for £3 at Asda today but I'm hoping to find some at £1 before making anymore.

    The whole thread has some great ideas but I haven't read it this year, might have to get on that in time for xmas! Link to the thread here:- https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/2766466

  • Sorry for the late reply gang!! It's been a hectic weekend here!

    Had a great time though, and no spends at all thanks to the Bank of Mum and Dad and the in-laws, so very MSE too!!

    :) Did charity 10km walk. Raised over £500 and cost us nothing. Free exercise and quality time together, for a great cause too!

    :) Went home to visit Mum and Dad in Wales. :j
    Roast dinner courtesy of my amazing Mum, and tank of fuel for being a Daddy's girl ;) They are far too good to us!! Also brought home a plated-up dinner which I took to work for lunch today!

    :) Visited Non in hospital and gave her my "Memory Walk" medal - could have sworn I'd given her a million pounds... she loved it! Priceless!! Paps also on fine form and has treated us to a rather lovely cheque to pay for all of our diving whilst away in Egypt :A

    :) Work all day today - took dinner and shared a lift so no fuel used.

    :) House cleaned with minimal products

    :) Washing on economy and outside to dry

    :) Nectar Adpoints

    :) Borrowed magazine from colleague after he finished with it

    :) Quick check of banking - all good. OH gets paid tomorrow, so will be all squared away for the month then.

    :) Shop around for best broadband deal as we are one of the lucky customers effected by BT's price-rise... at least an opportunity to get out of the contract 6 months early and on to a better deal. Thinking TalkTalk at the moment... Can collect 4000 Nectar points with one of their packages we would be purchasing anyway!

    :) We are house/pet-sitting for OH's parents next week - so, no bills, no food (DMIL has stocked up!) and less fuel to work for OH... another quick win.

    :) 2 x NSD's

    :) Left-over supper tonight to use whatever is left in the fridge!


    Hope everyone has enjoyed their weekend! For those also working, I feel your pain!!!

    Shoot xxx
    :T DEBT FREE AS OF APRIL 2013! :T
