Thanks to recommendation from Pennywise, I’ve signed up to GreenJinn. It’s for anyone who shops in Tesco, Sainsbury's or Waitrose. Basically it’s like a coupon site, but instead of downloading the coupon, you upload your receipt after you’ve bought the item and they reimburse you. The items/coupons change every week and payout is at £1.50. I did some shopping for MiL and she wanted Earl Grey Tea bags. That was worth a 60p coupon, so I snapped a photo of the receipt and that’s 60p added to my total for a zero spend of my own money :cool:.Debts @ LBM £23,729.31. Debts @ 08/04/2016 £0 :j

Thank you Hairy and Beanie.
Today has been hard going. DH hasn’t retained information well and I’ve had to repeat myself A LOT. On top of this, he doesn’t seem to be hearing too well either and I’ve had to repeat myself due to that too. I’m going to have an early night tonight before I snap. My head is pounding.
One of the other competition entrants has been in touch with me and believe it or not we’ve made friends and bonded :T. Between us we’ve found out that the entries were whittled down last week and the judging panel will meet this week to decide. Keep your fingers crossed for us please. And if I don’t win, I hope my new friend does!!
We are good thank you! growing far to fast!!
keeping my fingers crossed for the competition announcement!!Living in a superhero induced haze :A:A

Had a really rubbish night’s sleep last night. DH was lashing out in his sleep and thumped me 4 times!! I stomped off downstairs to sleep on the sofa after the 4th wallop, but couldn’t switch off. I started panicking about money and wanted to get back up and start decluttering :huh:. Being honest, I didn’t have my anxiety meds yesterday as they weren’t at the docs when I went to collect them. They gave me the paper script instead but I didn’t make it to the chemist. I didn’t think missing one day would make a difference, I was wrong.
Anyway, today I started decluttering. Have taken a load of stuff to the tip (why did we have so many empty boxes??), and listed a couple of things on eBay. I also made a FB sale and I’m about £9 better off than I was this morning :j. One of the Mums from school is interested in DS2’s old bike, so hopefully that will be another sale soon. It’s in good nick, so if she doesn’t have it I’m sure someone will.Debts @ LBM £23,729.31. Debts @ 08/04/2016 £0 :j

I hope you sleep better tonight Lucky and that you find things to sell on FB. It's horrible lying awake worrying about money, I've spent many years doing that
