    Just had a wee look at the John Lewis website to see if they had any deals on & the Caterham Lego DH wants for Christmas is down from 79.99 last week to 69.99 this week :money:

    Will order that now from the savings & add another IOU to that list :rotfl: well it's a bargain! Would be ordering it next payday anyways. Plus free delivery :T

  • Okay so lots of focus today on the finances, I feel obsessed with this all.

    I think that is a good thing.

    I have been frantically looking at my spreadsheet & lists. Busy reminding myself why I have us on a tight budget & all the lovely things we have to look forward to to make this all worthwhile.

    Budget head firmly screwed back on & looking at this in a positive way.

    Today I have:
    • Saved 10.00 on DH's Christmas pressie :money:
    • Earned 5.10 on a new survey site :money:
    • Redeemed 20.00 in Sainsbobs vouchers to pay for a Christmas pressie :money:
    • Won 4.70 on the eurosqullions this will pay for a Christmas pressie at 3.99 with some change :money:
    • Borrowed 69.99 from savings to pay for DH's Christmas pressie :exclamati

    Think that's it :rotfl: I'm sure I will be back on here soon enough with another post about something or other.

  • Listed some shoes & bags that I am never going to wear on schpock in May.

    A lady just contacted me tonight & bought a pair of shoes for 20.00, will meet her tomorrow.

    I will cash in my lotto ticket tomorrow & pick up another couple of bits I need for Christmas with that.

    Did you remember to use a cashback site when ordering the Christmas Present.
