Looking after the pennies

WinterWarrior

Chicken and leek bake sounds lovely! My OH doesn’t like creamy sauces, so I tend to stick to tomato based things...I really miss creamy white sauces, but have to make separate meals for that. 

I haven’t had anything from PA since last week. Some of mine haven’t been approved for weeks, so annoying. 

I’d be fretting about the eBay sale too!

@Suzanne54321B my OH is the same with creamy sauces but he actually ate it and commented how nice it was.  It would deffo be worth cooking and saving for yourself lol

I had some PA approved today taking me to £5.35 which I withdrew and will pay off the CC, I have £5.10 still awaiting approval!  The eBay seller isn't responding which is really annoying so I think I will need to re-list (and provide sh***y feedback!)
I had booked a long weekend at a self-catering caravan for my 30th in September as we had cancelled our holiday.  It was £485.00 but has a hot-tub and there's lots of little lakes to explore and water sports (Covid permitting) so really looking forward to it We went last year and both boys talk about how its their best holiday so far so I can't wait! My mum has offered to come down on the Sunday so we can do some of the more grown up water sports with ds1(9) and she can take ds2 (4) on the little boats etc. She has very kindly offered to pay half towards the caravan as they will be staying over the night as a little treat. I have just made our last payment so can forget about that now, just some spending money to save

Some of my prolific got approved today too, maybe the same ones? I had a high value one that lasted forever and kept asking what colour something was to check for attention ! I’ve managed to bag 3 new ones this morning. 

The holiday sounds lovely! Not long to go until September.

Morning all, 
Woke up feeling very productive today (haven't actually done anything yet  ) but I have lots of plans for the day... I need to send my ID across for my RTB application, the usual cleaning and get some washing on etc.  I bought a foundation from no7 which usually is £16.50 but was on sale last week for 6.50 plus 20% off so that's going to need collecting. 
I've got a Dr's appointment with ds1 today he had a sharp pain in his chest yesterday when he was at my mums, so much so he came off the ps4 so I know it must of shocked him.  Spoke to Dr yesterday he seems to think it's nothing but we have heart issues on both sides of the family so I insisted on an appt just incase.  
I also plan to get a few more small bits on ebay.  I raised a case for the non payer yesterday & relisted the item and someone has offered me £140 straight away.  I'm tempted to accept as it's more than I originally sold, the non payer has done me a favour actually. At the same time it is worth a lot more and the money is going into the kids Xmas pot. 
Other than that yesterday I chased this  form I've apparently been sent in April ref my refund (still no reply).  Filed and painted my nails and they look great, I usually get acrylics every three weeks (£20-25) per lbm and lockdown but they have grown loads and was quite nice to have a pamper so I'm just going to stick to doing them at home and save the pennies x
