Afternoon all!

I was away last night which wasn't exactly money saving but I did a round of the town for Job Spotter so all is not lost!

I got some mega reduced mature cheddar yesterday (75% off), I did have two blocks reserved in the fridge ready to buy at the end of the day but a customer was going to have a piece cut down and I had an inkling it was a price issue rather than size so fished out one of my cheap blocks. He looked so grateful and delighted so it was worth it to me for the feel good factor. I also got a new iron at 75% off, not terribly exciting but the flex is fraying and kinking on mine so much needed.

I am currently averaging 4 sales per day on Amazon, I won't be retiring just yet but that is with just 5 products fulfilled by them but if I can multiply that by 10 then suddenly it starts to look like a nice little supplementary income

I was given a £5 discretionary bonus at work for doing extra hours to keep the dept open when someone was taken ill so I'm really happy, praise and money, my two favourite things! I've also approached the manager about putting some free newspapers in the staff canteen and whether I can also set up a free staff library. They are also looking for a union rep but maybe I should wait until my probationary period is over first :rotfl:

Afternoon PF and FVD, and any lurkers
It is indeed very quiet on here this weekend. Hope everyone is having a great, hopefully moneysaving time :rotfl:
So pleased to hear that your new life plan is working out for you FVD My grand daughter is 4 next week, and I can't wait to see her face when she opens your lovely unicorn birhtday card She is absolutely mad about unicorns... but would settle for a donkey, which is what she wished for when we stirred the Christmas pudding mix a couple of weeks ago :rotfl:

Went to a flea market about half an hour away early this morning just to get out of the house. Bought a few bits to sell on, plus some bargain tomatoes and mushrooms Tired.com now though, as 'everything' was waiting to be done when I got back.

OH is a bit better, but still can't walk more than a few steps and still needs strong painkillers

Anyway, today's small things:
Walked dog twice, free exercise
Bargain tomatoes and mushrooms from the market
Sold 6 ebay items this weekend
All are packaged up and ready to go tomorrow
Used recycled packaging
One of the items will only need a large letter stamp free from RM surveys
All HM food, we have plenty here, no excuse for anything else - plenty of stew left from yesterday for dinner
Did my weekly litter pick on the verge outside - the joys of living on a through road I do find that picking it up regularly minimises it on 'my' patch though!
