Scuba's Saving the Ha'Pennies

scubaangel

A few more mystery shops booked which is handy, as it means tomorrow I'm off to the Atown to do a job in the afternoon, so I can pop in to the two supermarkets there to pick up bits which mysupermarket suggest are cheaper than at Mr S.

Then I've one in a small city on Saturday, they have a primarni and a few other shops I can pop in to (plus a libarary I adore for its shelves of sale books - although I must remember to take my list of books I need to finish off series and only buy those if I see them).

And more excitingly just had a WEM, won a copy of Mockingjay part 1 on BluRay. I don't enter comps too often so wins (other than those on goodreads) are exciting.

Spent more than planned in Mr M this afternoon but they had the washing liquid I like on offer (and shopitize c/b) so I picked some up although I don't need any for a few more weeks, and I bought a multiplug with switches to replace the one without switches in the living room - unplanned but something I'd been meaning to do for a while since I never remember to unplug things.

Just done the data entry for one mystery shop, and the paperwork is ready to be posted tomorrow.

Also just found out that my middle eastern friend is coming to the UK at the end of May, so I need to check when I go back to work the dates he's over in the hope that I can take a couple of days off work and see him (although he'll be in London so I could pop in for afternoons/evenings it'd be much cheaper to book myself a cheap hotel room and spend a couple of days with him playing tourist).

Small city visit completed.

Money spent :eek:

I hate holiday shopping at this time of year. Must remember to sales shop in Autumn this year as I didn't last year hence now refreshing the wardrobe is costing me more than I'd like.

Bought a skirt, top, shorts, and a new beach bag. I've a dress to return, and I went in to Pandora to look for something to spend some of the birthday money from my Dad on, came out with a Hedgehog and a Turtle bead for my charm bracelet - these things will mean something to fellow PTerry fans when lined up next to the Elephant my sister gave me a few years ago.

Very very tired.

Have written a list of stuff to get done tomorrow after work and am shortly going to head up to my bed.

And home from holiday, had a lovely time and have some how come home with 60euro left (took £300/400 euro), spent lots on days out - Loro Park, Siam Park and a whale watching trip on a small yacht.

No shortage of cocktail, and liquer coffees, and plenty of food.

Today I've made a small dent in the emails I've recieved since I went away, nowhere near cashing out anywhere though which is a shame.

Doing my best to get back in to good habits so have maxed out my sb apps and have perktv running am just over 15k points there so hopefully will hit the 20k to redeem by the end of the week.

Got my running kit packed ready to take with me to work tomorrow. Still need to iron my work clothes and I just remembered I've not done a white wash so might not have a clean shirt.....[wanders off to put washing in].

They were fab.

Couple of busy days at work, went for a run this evening planned the 3 mile route but only ended up doing 1.7 as I managed to almost get run over by a horse and cart - somewhat put me off.

Headed to the south coast at the weekend to see family.

Home from a much "easier" shift at work, certainly shorter.

The interesting stuff across the lake is all being packed up which will make it much less frustrating to get in and out of work!

Been shopping as I realised last night that I had no food in for dinner. So today I've bought New Covent Garden soup (make sure to get the 600ml one) with £1 c/b, tabasco sauce with 80p c/b and some more persil with £1 c/b meaning my not essential but nice to have stuff cost me £3.57 in total, I also got a yellow stickered pizza for dinner.

Popped in to The Range and treated myself to a new set of kitchen scales as mine wont display in g/kg which has annoyed me immensely as I'm not used to weighing food in oz/lb, also a set of chrome over radiator drying rails.

Got home to find the bluray I won before I went on holiday and a book from goodreads behind the door.

Three loads of washing done and hung on various airers to dry.

Got a late start tomorrow so going to head in to town to buy Dad's birthday present and hopefully find one for my sister.
