    And just think of how well you will eat, you've got time to cook from scratch & have something smelling lovely gently bubbling away all day for your tea! :D

    Winkle,

    I can't remember who from the board send you all the details about the daily clicks through topcashback/greasy palm/quidco extra. If you do a search around I am sure it will come up.

    I have been selling a bit of ebay recently and quite enjoy it. It would be even better if I was at home and could focus a lot more on it. Have you thought about the AQA service that some of us work for? Not sure if there are any vacancies at the moment, but it can change daily.


    I am with pigsback already and quidco, so going to stick with them. I have had a look at AQA, the other day they had no vacancies in my area :(

    Well done on paying everything off!! It must feel good.

    What are you going to do once frugal October is over? Save up to be mortgage free or pay off the student loan?

    Hiya, boyf and I are saving to buy our own place. I used my savings to pay off all the debt so I can now start contributing again :)

    I must admit, we have had lovely dinners since the foot injury! Doing shepherds pie, home made wedges and salad for dinner tonight.

    Hi all, update from yesterday. I had an NSD (apart from paying off my CC!!). A friend came round for dinner and she brought wine plus she ordered pizza, and offered to pay because she said she had just been paid! Plus I think she felt sorry for me cause of the broken foot!

    Today I ventured outside, went to the NEXT sale but didnt buy anything but did spent £2.58 in Boots on sanitary towels and 2 body sprays, BOGOF, 99p each - had sent boyf to get these last week and he couldnt find them so I did need them.

    Tonight we are going to a friends so will take wine/alcohol, will let you know tomorrow how much I spent.

    Food wise we are still eating what we have in and we're having keema curry tonight mmmmmmm!
