£5.00 Amazon voucher cashed out from Swagbucks
£6.78 Amazon voucher cashed out from Job Spotter

I want a shark, they are supposed to be awesome. I have a Henry, but he comes to work with me and is starting to show his age (had him since 2010, they are wonderful vacumns)and am thinking of investing in a shark for at home.

Off to look at amazon.....

Definitely having a very MSE day today, I've just chopped up the remaining turkey that I bought yesterday. I have had turkey sandwiches for lunch and dinner yesterday, then again today (I do love a turkey sandwich ), and I have managed to portion up enough for 2 turkey curries, a turkey and ham pie and enough slices for ds and I to have 2 lots of large roast turkey dinners :T :T I would be tempted to make stock from the carcass but I couldn't possibly cram another thing into my freezer, it is now absolutely full to bursting :rotfl:

Pooky

Stock will keep for weeks in the fridge - I always have some in there for risottos and gravies

benbenandme

Thanks Pooky, can you tell I'm new to all this cooking lark :rotfl::rotfl: I'll stick the carcass back in the fridge for tonight and cook it up in the morning

Whoop whoop, £89 profit from the first matched bet and a free £20 bet to come tomorrow from the other offer :beer:

I woke up at 4am and realised I haven't necessarily finished the bet yet, if the team loses or draws its fine, if they win I will have to bet some more so will lose a bit more of the profit. We'll see what happens tomorrow.

Other than that I woke up several times again in the night, worrying about money next summer again. I know the holiday seems like a big extravagance considering my financial changes that are upcoming but I need it to look forward to, it makes a huge difference to how I feel when I know I've got that to look forward to.

So today, I'm meeting up with a friend and we're taking the dogs down the beach for a walk then back to hers for a coffee. Other than that it will be spent pottering again.
