Thanks
everyone I have tried the sonic alarms but our cats are hardcore so going with anything water 'related.
I have been bad today and purchased a pair of earrings from flea bay and 2 albums on line. Neither I needed but I wanted.
But on a more mse cashed in some extra club card points to red spotted ha+++ to pay for our trip to london in september. Not able to buy the tickets yet as its too early but now have money towards the £107 pound bill. It will save us at least £50 booking in advance. It could be cheaper if we picked our trains but I don't want to be restricted.
Also used club card to get a speed boat down the Thames.
Sushi lessons were half price.
Trip up big ben is free. :T
Trip round the BBC was fairly cheap.
We have a half price taste card already that will cover some meals.
I also bought some guides to London food so that we can do our own food tour. I saw one that goes round borough market which was £160. :eek::eek: so we are doing ours at a faction of the cost.
Still lots of stuff to fit in and book.

we also have a cat problem in our front garden, I don't know why they like our garden, but I certainly don't like their presents. However, I am also cat owner so I have no idea where our cat leaves his presents behind (he only goes out the back), although saying that he often uses his litter tray...yuk
Your London trip sounds fab, there is so much to do that is free in London...£160 for a food trail seems extortionate though :eek: well done for being so organised and frugal:beer: Club card vouchers are also great, I've been using my cc credit card more recently so we can get more vouchers...not sure what to use them on yet thoughMortgage March 2011 £143,927.6

Not much to report bought a sandwich in the local town as the works canteen gave me a jacket potato with added hair on Friday and I don't fancy going back for round 2.
Zumba class was good.This is the excitement for today. tomorrow is sw and Wednesday is a works do.
I said yes to doing a presentation and the big boss's is now happy. There is a barbecue before the meeting so maybe have a few drinks to calm myself before talking in front of 200 people.

Chipping in late on the cat problem. Rose prunings and green string apparently. Or a huge dog. Our dog is not exactly MSE but willing to eat any neighbours cat daft enough to visit ....Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became
In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!0 -
I'm off the waggon, I have not been keeping up with the diary and have gone back to the old ways of buying stuff off flea bay and shopping without a list.
It's not all bad though I have filled both freezers with discounted food and I have only purchased 1 pair of earrings, top, necklace and a dress this month. Ok it is bad, but hey ho that's life.
Hubby is playing golf today and I would really like nothing better than to sit on the sofa and go to sleep but what a waste of a weekend. Going to drive to my parents 1 hour away and see my dad as its hubby birthday tomorrow.
Won a work event in the week and the prize was a £10 cinema voucher.
Cupcake competition next week so am scouring the recipe books for an unusual recipe. All the money is going to charity so it's all good.
Also going to look for a cat spraying device as they have ruined some of the new plants we put in :mad:

Managed to sell a pair of garden ornaments making £20 :j. Made beef stew in the slow cooker to put in the freezer but when I got home it had vanished. But I had a full and happy husband
.
Going to take my mum to west side story as its her favourite musical in September and she has paid for the ticket so all is good.
No much planned for today. Hubby doesn't want to do much so will be at home doing stuff and things.
Bought some wagu beef from alfie as per:money: for tonight's tea so it should be good.

We're going to see that in July, I think they must be on tour.
I've seen the film, but never seen it on stage before.

Cool Goldie girl, I will await to hear your review.
Feeling very virtuous as I was going to spend money on a bracelet but had better thoughts and transferred £20 on to the mortgage. This has saved £9 in interest. Think I may do this every time I get an urge to buy something.:D
