    Well my plans for today have been scuppered - OH is home from work with a 'migraine'. Although he seems to be okay to watch Jeremy Kyle and do some work on his laptop :mad:. He's off tomorrow too as he's got the hospital and a doctors appointment, so I think he's just trying to stretch his weekend into 4 days.

    I'll try and get as much done as I can. I'm just working on the MS jobs and Swagbucks.

    I got some vouchers through from the Tesco Orchard website. I can get £2 off a Healthy Living product (meal for OH) and £2 worth of fruit or veg (will get OH some fruit to take to work). I'll go there tonight and get all of that - should come away with some nice freebies :)

    I've claimed £11.35 from Panelbase, so that will help when that comes through (although I get paid a week Wednesday, so not sure if it will come through before then or not).

    The movie last night was better than I expected, but it was quite long. We've booked in to see Room tomorrow evening (well, 5.10pm - there aren't many showings of it left) and Spotlight on Wednesday evening. Might as well make the most of not having to work that many evenings this week.

    My thinking was correct - I didn't get much done!!

    I did go to Tesco after work though and used £7 worth of coupons. We got the cheese (free), a ready meal (had to pay 30p for it), some bananas and apples (paid 11p towards them) and a posh Charlie Bigham ready meal for 2 which was originally £7, but was yellow sticker reduced to £4.55 plus we had a £2 voucher, so a meal for OH and I for £2.55.

    Off to bed now. I fear tomorrow will be even less productive!!

    We've been to see Room today - wow!! Just wow - what a movie. Seriously good, best movie I've seen in ages.

    We're seeing Spotlight tomorrow night and I've just booked in Dad's Army for Sunday.
