Week ahead planning
Photo receipts for the day and checking how much I am short or need DAILY.
Ensure all the Apps on my phone are up to date
Put my app passwords onto Google Keep as every so often they sign out.
Start checking cashback apps every morning to stay up to date.
Check app freebies and see where they are cheapest as APG & BG may be an
option for a wee profit.
Have my MOCs holder with me, I use a bus/train ticket folder that has 3
sections and is credit card sized, everything neatly folded.
Any H20 offers saved to my pryorities, I know that does not reserve them, but
it saves having to search for them.
Have my 3 bags for life all folded up into wee packages held tight with lackity bands.
Notepad/pens/propeller pencils.
Copy of Caf! Nerd email to show staff if required.
All Loyalty Cards. “Just In Case”
Refresh mantras I must ask for receipts In shops always split shopping.
Look for wombles at all times. Ignore silly muggles.
Don’t fart in lifts like Inspector Clouseau and thinking it funny.
STOP saying mantras aloud!
Every morning go buy breakfast via self serve, one bananananana, one clemantine (humming “Oh my darling, Clemantine”), a few grapes, all bought seperately for RECEIPTS. Try to nonchalantly use a till that has a leftover receipt on it.
Monday
Check what H2O are doing to replace Mr Shoes deal.
Plan to look through Mr Shoes for reduction bargains for shampoo points spending.
Get Fwee coughee and side from El Colonel.
Tuesday
Take my travel mugs and holders for Caf! Nerdo freebies, remembering to take sugar sachets/napkins/stirrers, they there for taking. (Remembering experience of trying to replace Puppy roll with napkins NOT A GOOD IDEA) napkins fine for snotty nose.
Repeat some of Mondays actions.
Wednesday
See if Nerd 2 for 1 is on again, taking mugs “JIC”
Rest of week
Continue checking apps etc, updating my lists
And of course, keeping an eye out for birdie flocks to post on thread.0 -
I've just started doing some Ebay listing again, one dress sold last Sunday and it went off to Australia on Monday
So I listed a few more bits, not a lot of interest or watchers yet. But one dress that did not sell last week - no obvious reason why- but I put the price up by £1 and this week 63 views and 3 watchers so fingers crossed.
I found the same dress in a bigger size more suited to my curvesbut its been sat in my ebay shopping basket for weeks until I sell the size 12.
I also listed a jacket and it has had 3 bids today so I am more than happy - there is a bit of a story attached but I will save that for after the sales gone through“Create all the happiness you are able to create; remove all the misery you are able to remove.

Oooh this is interesting. My DS was doing an online sains shop so I asked her to add the hovis bread that on COS and CS. Seeded or Granary. Anyway, she ordered two, one of each (she doesnt understand this cb lark.
Anyway, put it in for COS and got the cb. Thought hmmm shall I give it a go on CS seeing as its two loaves of bread. Well its showing confirmed now. And it shows as instore receipt:T
Mind you not paid out yet so perhaps too early for the :T :eek:0 -
spent 22 apg wombles today0

I don't understand why the birdie travel packs can be listed for £24.25 when they are only 9.99 in SD. Do people pay anything just because its Fleabay?

Unfortunately it sometimes comes down to how desperate you are to get the bond back.....students in particular often need it to secure their next property. The unscrupulous agent would "try it on" for a small percentage knowing the student is happy to write off £30 for example to get £500 back. Even if the property is left in a better state than it was initially rented, they will still find something to pick at.
I could write a book:o
My old landlord was so bad he had threads about him on mse and there is a fb group of people wronged by him:mad: I think allow to lose 20% and could have nice surprise.
Lovely day out with N yesterday. Lidls in next town which I had never been to but more like a real supermarket in lay out. Got dgd some lovely letter stamps and we treated ourselves to Suddenly Diamonds which really does smell divine. Can't believe it was 2 for £7 wish I had bought more now. Got an art canvas. a few bits like you do (no 4 bottle wine carriers though) and some of the fake Malibu as ds2 gf prefers it to the real stuff. No salt lamps left but did see a couple of the kettles.
Then on to Dobbies where we perused all the various reduced sections and took a photo of Dave the Dog (to follow in a bit as it is still on phone). Time for a drink and a scone.
Then on to B and M where I purchased some inserts for my new drawers in Perspex with dividers similar to cutlery inserts and some more Fairy wul. we had a bottle of Ribena mango and lime as both thirsty again and it was 39p. Sat in car and discussed going back as was lovely drink but both had very aching feet by then.
Doves are in the Dovecote some of which N is collecting Monday before I get train to London.
DD has had second of her injections ready for stem cell donation and is feeling very achey today. Very unfortunate she is in work tomorrow and half day Monday but they say she will feel a bit better immediately after donation. The Nurses seem to be private ones who travel all over the place but they are taking very good care of her and she can ring if worried about anything.
Roll on Tuesday.
Not read back yet so will be back with Dave the Dog later.

Mind you not paid out yet so perhaps too early for the :T :eek:
so she got 2 free loaves?
I had a womble with Hovis on which I uploaded to COS but I realised later on studying the rec that it was reduced loaf but I still got my 55p (this was the follow up offer, a half price loaf)
Then another womble with Hovis on so I uploaded to OHs account and its showing as green on the right hand side but on the left it just has a hyphen so I don't know if it was accepted or not - next week I have to withdraw the money and you get a list so it will show then if it was accepted or not.
Again I was just too over excited to see Hovis on the rec I uploaded first and later realised it must have been a small loaf as the price did not look correct“Create all the happiness you are able to create; remove all the misery you are able to remove.
