Just done a ciao survey for £2 :beer: I wasn't going to bother as they always screen me out half way through but luckily for me this one was okay

ooh lucky you - the ciao surveys and me don't seem to be getting on all that well these days and don't get me started on valued opinions!!

Well the party was a huge success :beer: Ds was very well behaved and played well with the other kids and I finally got to meet and chat to several other parents which was nice as I never normally see them as ds goes to breakfast/after school club.

I have spent £5.40 today as I bought some stuff from tesco express for dinner Tomorrow I really must do a proper food shop :rolleyes: The weather is supposed to be rubbish again tomorrow so we will probabl stay in most of the day and we might do some baking or something. I desperately need to clean the car out too so weather-permitting that is definatly on the to-do list

Morning all !! I had a lovely early night last night (was in bed before 10 which is very unusual for me) and must have fallen straight to sleep so I actually feel quite awake today

Todays plan includes:

• food shopping at the farm shop then tescos
• clean out the car
• list 4 things on ebay
• do some cooking
• plan lunches/dinners for the week
• have yet another go at getting the bingo sites to work for me (they won't let me register )

Think thats about it for now but no doubt more will get added as I go. Have a good day everyone !!

Hi BB

Have you emailed the bingo sites to ask why you can't register? They don't need to know you are only registering for the free bets.

Good luck I hope you manage to sort it.

KM ... I haven't emailed them bt may do that later as Hypno is making me very jealous with all her winnings

Well, I have tidied the car out, I took all the rubbish out and have got a bag full of stuff in there ready to come up to the flat. I can't hoover it out at home as there is nowhere to plug in but I will try and nip round to my sisters this week and do it there

We have been shopping, we went to the farm shop first and got:

• broccoli
• 2 x leeks
• 12 large eggs
• 6 potatoes
• 4 x sauasages
• lettuce
• 1/2 cucumber
• punnet of strawberries
• 2 cooking apples
• 3 eating apples
• 10 carrots
• 2 bananas
• an aubergine
• pack of streaky bacon

altogether it came to £9.91 which seems pretty good ??

Then we went on to Tesco and spent another £35 The weekly budget is £37.50 so I have gone over, but I did buy several things that I could have waited another week for (eg. 2 x conditioner) so hopefully next weeks won't be as bad. I also bought quite a few bits for home baking, so this afternoon I am going to get started on that ... flapjacks, quiche, apple crumble etc. (not all today but during the week).

I also filled the car up with petrol, so another £25 spent there :rolleyes: :rolleyes: but that is budgeted for, so really only £8 over budget and hopefully that can be saved in next wekks money or if I take packed lunches all week then I will have saved £4 there

Quick update .... I seem to be having a pretty productive day so far ...

• food shopping at the farm shop then tescos DONE
• clean out the car DONE
• list 4 things on ebay PHOTOS TAKEN BUT NOT YET LISTED
• do some cooking MADE FLAPJACKS, JUST ABOUT TO ATTEMPT A QUICHE :eek:
• plan lunches/dinners for the week
• have yet another go at getting the bingo sites to work for me (they won't let me register ) TRIED BUT NO LUCK, WILL EMAIL THEM LATER

I have also emptied my ironing basket :T :T and emptied my washing basket :A Ds is playing happily with his Lego at the moment so I am going to bung a couple of jacket potatoes in the oven then make a quiche for dinner, and while it is all cooking he can have his bath and hairwash so its not a mad rush tonight. Then all I'll have left to do tonight is getting the stuff on ebay. I have found 5 things so far, 2 x skirts, 2 x pairs of boots and a cardigan ... all are new with tags from Next, some I bought in the January sale some were from the summer sale, but I haven't worn any of them yet and I checked my account online and it has gone up to £180 :eek: :eek: :eek: I did have the final sale item delivered this week (2 x cushions for my bed which were reduced to £3 each from £9 and are brautiful, and a set of seagrass type drawers which are also lovely and were reduced from £50 to £20). Whatever I can make on this stuff (hopefully £50??) will go straight towards the outstanding balance on the account .

Sounds a good plan hon. What quiche recipe do you use?

Coo! Sounds a productive day! What a shame you can't seem to activate the bingo sites, I wonder what's going on there? I've done a total of six, two of them today, and won a total of £17.99 - useful! - but not in hypno's league. Just off for a walk around the block now to get my circulation pumping.
