Coffee, Cake, Yarn - New Start

CoffeeCakeYarn

Thanks Menna, I LOVE a pulled pork from the slow cooker. I love it more when 1.2kg of pork only cost £2 YS WINNER!

Plans have changed for this evening, got a friend round for dinner so pork has been moved back a day. It does mean I need to go pick up a few bits so won't be a NSD but will be a very low spend day.

2 days until car day, can't wait for it to be over!

No other exciting plans for the day. Work the work and all that.

Had another shoppix lurker, thank you

Have a good day all. xx

best laid plans eh!

what is the shoppix lurker?i think i've missed that?

Indeed But it's nothing that won't keep, just said friend doesn't eat pork. A nice round £2.00 for bits for tonight, and there will be a few leftovers that I can use to spice up some meals later in the week. Self scan nectar points anxiety again, next time I'm just going to the till.

Shoppix is an app where you take pictures of shopping receipts, earn points, redeem for vouchers or paypal. I posted a referral code (shameless plug 2DSCUVUG - we both get 200 points if people use it ) and I've got three lots of referral bonus points, one has owned up (ta!) but the other two are a mystery...woooooo (spooky voice!)

Yep I am happy to have used the code, I got bonus points, Coffee got bonus points, I'm going to mention Shoppix on my diary and put my referral code to see if I get any mystery sign ups!!

Might be worth posting your referral code and an explanation of shoppix on The Referrers Board too http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/forumdisplay.php?f=42

Ooh Joey, I seem to be doing on shopprize but is it just sweepstakes that you can trade your coins in for, or can you cash them in when you get to a certain level? Sorry to hijack your thread coffee by the way

When you get to 10000 you can trade them for £5 Amazon - there are supposed to be new options coming along but there haven't been. it's a slow build but I got about £40 last year.

Yay! Thanks again

Early sign off from me today as busy evening gym and dinner coming up.

Sold an item on ebay for £1, just waiting for the payment lol. Baby baby steps! Few points few pounds again on surveys, added to the car pot. Only two more sleeps, yay!

In the interest of full disclosure, I have committed to a newspaper cheap holiday later on in the year, so something to save for and something to look forward to. I've done these before with my friends and the littles, they are always cheap (everyone brings a meal, BYOB, no expensive activities) and just such a lovely way to spend quality time together as a group, there's usually 15 ish of us together, that we don't get very often, that I struggled to say no. Put me on the naughty step. But it's just spurred me on to work harder to pay for it, because this is one of those things that, to me, really matters. The littles won't stay little forever. I do feel a little bad But at least it's not 2 weeks in Spain!

Have a good evening all xx

Not at all, it's what it's here for

Don't feel bad about a cheapy holiday. It gives you something to look forward to. I have two rugby tours booked for this year with the kids. Only a long weekend each but the atmosphere is fantastic and the kids play rugby all weekend!

Enjoy the gym and your dinner.
