    and also i signed up with a market research company who will send me "Company" magazine until December in return for me answering some questions every month.

    Do you have the contact details for the market research company involved? I would be interested if this is still available. I love doing market research!

    Wow, just got back from lunch to all these replies - good to hear about your money saving ways & what youve been spending (or not) your money on. Wow - to get lunches & breakfast for the week for such little amounts is fab!!!

    Ive just been out for my lunch, thankfully it was free, 3 course meal - yummmo!!! It doesnt happen very often, but it is nice when it does. :0)

    Am pleased that you have decided to share your thoughts with me, im nosy, can you tell :0)

    howdy

    have been at work all day and avoided going out at lunchtime so haven't spent anything - Yippeee! (which will make up for the fact i spent too much at the weekend!).

    And have had some good fortune on ebay today and made about £50 selling clothes and shoes I no longer used. At work tonight doing the good deed at my OH's snooker club so free drinks all round!

    Thats great Lou-Martin, well done on the ebay sales. Ive got things i need to list, but sometimes after all of the fees etc, i wonder whether itd be easier to do a car boot sale (if i had a car that is!!!) :0)

    Anyone in the Tooting/Wimbledon area that fancies doing a car boot? (sharing your car for the morning, hehe!!) My mum did one a few weeks ago, and made over a £100, not bad for a few hours work. :0)

    Almost time to leave job 1, to head to job 2. Euch, cant be bothered today, but at least after tonight i wont be back there til sat... think of the money, think of the money...

    I hope you all have nice evenings whatever you're up to.

    I found 5p on the street (happens a lot because they are soooo weeee - are people too proud to pick them up?). Spent £1.40 on reduced price vegetables and salads from Tesco (7 items) and hiking sandals and antique postcard from ebay for £10 total.
    Do tell, everybody. I'm nosy too!
