Just realised I'm 25% of the way to my target for the year after only 6 weeks :j :j Also shows me how much I took my eye off the ball last year when Mr S was here - I saved £1189 for the whole year

Been to Sainsburys to get Mums shopping and spent £50 on my shopping too. Popped in and had a coffee with Mum and collected the dog from hers. Have had a lovely lunch of a coronation chicken sandwich with multi-seeded bread, onion ring crisps and a chocolate eclair

Going to potter about and do some housework before the footie later. I got a tax credit nhs exemption card through the post today which means I get free eye tests , might go and book that later too.

Ds bedroom is clean and tidy, still needs a deeper clean later in the week but at least it's back to organised and free of washing / plates / rubbish again I also found his keys in the process so that's another job ticked off the list, but no sign of the History book so far

OMG .... I just was checking some betting accounts and found a tenner in one, I decided to let myself play a fiver of it on a slot and would withdraw the rest. I only went and hit a bonus round and won £130 :j :j

Whoop whoop - off to add it to my signature, this is turning out to be a pretty good month so far

Thanks Beanie, am well chuffed Have just been reading back a bit and saw I didn't reply to your post Stressed Mum, sorry! My new phone is an iphone 5s - I've never bothered with an iphone before but I was paying £27.50 a month before for me, Mr S and ds phones - I'll still be paying the same amount but now its just me and ds, but it works out the same amount each month so I thought I'd spoil myself. I must admit I luffs it already I'm not sure I'll put many moneymaking apps on it, but it does mean I can check my emails at work now (couldn't on old phone), and so hopefully I may manage to pick up a few mystery shops before they disappear now.

Morning all, took the dog for a walk in the park, he got totally covered in mud but was very happy Came back and was going to start sorting the garage but the strong bin liners I bought yesterday turned out to be tiny rubble sacks :cool: Never mind, it was too cold out there anyway

So today, ds is due back home between 3-4, Mr S is also coming round about that time as his team are on Sky this afternoon, so he's watching that and staying for dinner - neither of us do Valentines day nonsense, so footie and roast lamb covers it instead

I want to get a few more bits and pieces done off the list today, I might go to Ikea tomorrow with Mum so may have a mooch on their website too. I've started getting house moving ideas again - I absolutely love my flat to bits but I would like some outside space, particularly with the dog. Also as it is above shops it is limited in how muh it will ever increase in value whereas houses keep going up and up, so financially its not necessarily the best idea to stay here. It's early days but it's becoming a nagging thought ....

Went back for another cheeky £5 slots game and won £54 :beer: This time I have withdrawn all of it so I'm not tempted to try again, think I've had more than my months worth of luck
