I'm 33 now - time I acted like it!!

Thanks INOD :A

Plans for today, OH and I are going to Beefeater for lunch as I've got a £5 voucher from my rewards card. Shouldn't cost any more than £20.

Not much else going on, but Andy Murray is playing later, so will make sure I can watch that.

I'm in dire need of some new clothes. I've had to throw out some cardigans that had holes in them (got a lot of wear from them though) and I'm getting sick of wearing jeans day in day out. My favourite shop Jane Norman is too expensive though, so I've been browsing the H&M website - my god their stuff is cheap!! For the price of one top in Jane Norman, I could probably get 3 there. They've also got some nice pencil skirts, cardigans, dresses etc. I never bought anything with my birthday money (got used for every day expenses), so as soon as I get paid next week, I'm heading off to H&M and getting some stuff. I'll make a list of things I want so that I don't go overboard.

Just off the top of my head, I need:

2-3 cardigans
2-3 tops
2-3 skirts
A pair of heels (court shoes)
Maybe a dress
Maybe a pair of sandals
Another coat (like a parka or mac for when it's chucking it down and I'm doing the school run).

I'm going to budget for £100 and see what I can get for that. Will sort through my clothes tonight whilst BGT is on and maybe add to the list.

If it's gonna be out with the old, h&m sometimes do a £5 voucher for a charity bag of clothes. They also do good newsletter deals for on line purchases.

Thank you!! Just signed up and can get 25% off any item of my choice online. Might save that for the coat as I've seen one online for £30, so 25% off that would be great. Will also have a look at my local store to see if they're doing the charity bag thing.

Morning

OH and I went for lunch yesterday and it only cost £17.50 with my £5 voucher. We also got some shopping which came to £20.

Watched the tennis (mainly with my head in my hands and watching through my fingers). My throat is sore this morning from shouting at the TV too much. OH thinks I'm nuts . Got it all to do again this morning though as he didn't get finished :eek:. Really hope Murray can win. Don't want to go through all that anguish for nothing!!

Already washed my hair and done my meds this morning, so I'm just starting on the questions now. Hoping I can get my 50 done before I leave to see my gran this afternoon (need to leave around 1.40pm).

Will try and boost the extra earnings today too. Really getting annoyed with TCB as I've got £50 sat in there and £40 of that is confirmed. It's been over 3 months now.

Anyway, be back later (hopefully as a happy Murray fan).

Thanks Linky

Flaming hell - I don't know why I watch tennis sometimes. I was seriously having kittens watching that - but Murray won!!!! :j. Just have to go through that all again tomorrow now _pale_.

I finished off my 50 questions just as he was stepping on court, so I'm all ready to go to the hospital in a bit.

I've also got £1.90 extra from Qmee and App Trailers.

My gran is feeling much better now. She's not confused anymore and was like her old self again. They are making some alterations to her house and hopefully she'll be let out on Tuesday.

Then spent the rest of the afternoon at my sister's watching some more tennis (including Federer getting knocked out ).

OH and I have just come back from a drink out with friends (spent around £12) and I'm just doing my meds before bed.

Thanks Buffy . A commentator mentioned the quote when I was watching the tennis last night.

Good afternoon

I am nearly done with my 50 questions today (11 to go).

My plan for this month was to do my 50 questions a day and then top my money up with surveys etc. However, I entered some competitions towards the end of last month and I've just had an email to say I've won this

As you can see, it's worth £229 and is sold out!! My plan is to stick is on eBay as soon as I receive it and hopefully I'll get at least £150 for it. So, now I'm thinking, I might ditch all the extra earning things like surveys, Swagbucks etc and just enter comps along with my 50 questions a day. I believe this comp win was a sign that I should continue.
