Today I have

• done my clicks
• cooked from scratch
• not spent anything
• unloaded a huge delivery from the street into the garden rather than pay for labour ( exhausted)
• gave kids packed lunches
• checked online banking

I think there has been other things but I can't remember.

Hi all,

Things for today:

Found a Boots validated receipt - will get points added hopefully tomorrow.

Brought my parents cheaper home insurance and should also get them £50 cash back.

Got The Sun paper with free Sun voucher.

Collected free childrens book from Somerfield - voucher from todays mirror.

Did my 1 piggy click for 5 points.

Claimed 1 x Boots £10 voucher from pigsback.

Will try to do some rpoint clicks later.

Will see whether I have at least £50 in my paypal account to transfer into my account.

Got 3 of DH Sainsbury's receipts with points added at customer services.

Today I have:

• travelled to college late in order to qualify for cheap day return + young persons discount.
• Done piggy comps.
• Done piggy click for 5 points.
• Done survey on ipoints to earn points.
• Stayed hungry at college to avoid vending machine / mcdonalds!
• Will fill in AQA application form.
• PM'd another member regarding advice on mystery shopping.

Have failed miserably with clicks, just can't commit to doing it every day. Am going to start slowly and build up, think trying to commit to 20 minutes every day was just too tedious.

* pigsback clicks
* storecupboard meals
* wore a blanket rather than put the heating on
* sorted out items for e-bay


* bought Boots items on-line via quidco to avoid going to the 'special' evening that would have cost more overall even taking the extra points into account.

Today I've:

- done Quidco and piggy clicks
- been to cinema on Orange Wednesday (& bought myself a kids 'film feast' instead of full price 7up & popcorn, which also had a free ratatouille book it)
- dried clothes on airer
- went to a new haridresser and saved around a tenner (and got a better cut!)
- spent over £100 at Argos (xmas pressies) and got a £10 voucher back


and I'm just about to transfer a cc debt onto my virgin card as they've offered me 0% til Oct 08 with free transfer fee :T

:wave: Ummm.

Well mostly today I have been wallpaper stripping.

There are multiple layers going back to what I think might be the original brown flowery lacquered to the wall Victorian layer and encompassing most (ugly) wallpaper fashions of the C20th after that. :rotfl:

It's such slow progress that I shudder to think what it would have cost if we'd hired somebody to do it. :eek:

I hung the washing out - for all the good that it did me.

I haven't put any heating on...

I wrote to the council about how come I'm not on the electoral roll all of a sudden - which will be affecting my credit rating won't it?

I waded through loads of info about mortgages. I'm not sure that ours is the best deal we could get and I'm weighing up the pros and cons of switching. (Where's the icon for brainache? )

I had the shopping dictated by the next two weeks meal plans delivered - so no extras! (but none of the codes from The Tesco Thread would work so that was a bummer. )

I've also checked in with all the Mystery shopper sites and bagged a couple.

I checked banking online and made a small extra CC payment, cos I could.

I've had an NSD. :j

and.......I can't quite believe I'm saying this, but I am seriously considering stopping going to my expensive hairdresser, having a more simple cut at a cheapie hairdressers and letting my grey be out and proud.

This is a massive thing for me, and I don't know where it's come from. I've just been thinking about it all day while I've been scraping wallpaper off by the inch!

So, a bit of a day for me then!

Jacks xxx have you tried your local hairdressing college where cuts are usually free and colours are only charged at cost. I am a qualified hairdresser and we were always very well supervised when training and quite often the boss used the models to demonstrate how to do it to the pupils on.

If you are nervous ask for a second year trainee as they really pretty damn good by then.

All the best SM

:T Cheers swampmonster!

You had me at "Free" the colour at cost part was the icing on the cake.

We've got a training college in the next town so I'll have to look into that. (I'll definitely ask for a second year! :eek: Thanks for the tip. )
