Just caught up on yesterdays thread,

Ziggy - about o2, when in the store you go onto the priorities app, click on the offer you want and click "use it now" it will generate a code that you show at the checkout but it only lasts for a set time, sometimes its given my 5, 10 or 30 minutes but after that its then expired. I've only been using it for a few months but we've had some good freebies Hope that helps.

Bob - Nope not ready for the holidays at all!!! lol and we've just had a text from the school to say they're finishing at 1.30 instead of 3.20!!

Right off to catch up with this thread now

Hi everyone,


Enjoyyourshoes - thanks for the board game suggestions yesterday - I hadn't heard of those! I was born in the 80s so my weaknesses are Mouse Trap and Frustration


- NSD today (apart from putting some change in a sympathy collection for a colleague at work)
- All meals from stores (ALDI rice crispies for lunch that taste no different to the Kellogs ones, chilli and jacket potatoes for tea)
- Cinema again tonight to see the Amy film (we're not obsessed with cinema honest! Just making good use of our unlimited cards)
- Bag up remaining clothes I didn't sell at the car boot for a charity bag doorstep collection tomorrow
- FPL done. Surveys still to do
- Do some reading before bed tonight (one of the Game of Thrones series)
- I'm officially moving in with OH in October! I emailed my landlord to see if she would buy my washing machine and fridge freezer which she will, so don't need to worry about moving these or finding another buyer :T


Have a great day everyone

Hi all

Been a bit absent and need to keep focused. Someone is coming to look at our car tonight so keep your fingers crossed for me. We really need to try and get £800 for it.

Found some trainers on sale for my incredibly fussy 14 year old. We ordered 5 pairs in the end and will send back 4 of them! I seem to be constantly buying clothes and shoes for the kids at the moment.

Shepherds pie in halogen oven for tea. Have just washed the windows and it is now raining. Oh well.

Hi All

Very quick post as its been a super long day and I am pooped.

The main headlines today are, I have now smashed my stretch target for debt busting this month, due to the market research interview I was paid for today, being a payout of £50 not £30. Straight off CC2.

I also made £4.30 in tips & 9p found in roadkill, so will save those up to PAD with on a slower day

Did a Morrisons customer survey for the chance to win £200 in shopping vouchers

Claimed 10p back on Shoptize for buying bananas.

Think thats it! Had the midwife today, am 28 weeks, seems to be all is fine, she took bloods to check for diebetes, and iron deficiency, but thats standard, feel fine so fingers crossed all fine.

Love to all, sorry not to reply personally to everyone.

Hi all,
Just typed a long chatty post about my day, which was promptly eaten when the internet crashed. Well, I think it's a google problem, actually, as we've just checked our internet connection & it's all fine. So sorry.....there was a post from me today......then there wasn't.

Glad all is well Bob. Its all a distant memory for me but I had easy pregnancies with both of mine and with my second I worked until 3 weeks before he was due. Very exciting times.

Well we sold the car! Very happy about that, got a good price too. Oh and we have been given some vouchers for a meal out as a thank you for helping out some friends. We rarely eat out so its a special treat.

All in all a good day.
