    Another weekend rolls around, although this one looks promising weather-wise. My challenge is not to put the heating on until half-term but as we break up in two weeks and I've still got the windows and doors open that isn't looking too hard this year luckily.

    £10 profit on some matched bets this morning, ds has gone to football for the day so have the house to myself again. It will be the usual housework / football combo today, I might try and tidy the garden a bit today before the winter sets in. Nothing much else to report at the moment x

  • I also only shop at Sainsbury’s and M&S . By looking carefully and knowing what you need to buy you can do so efficiently and relatively cheaply. Both stores have lots of offers especially M&S with multi buys. I also know all the food will get eaten because it tastes good!🙂

    Another week gone by, I've had a cold this week but am feeling much better now. One more week until half-term ... I have picked up an easy mystery shop for half-term that will earn me a tenner and I've just redeemed £5 from VYPR.

    Can't believe how quick your half term has come round!

    It doesn't feel quick Beanie :)
    Up early today, a fairly good sleep last night but lots of random dreams. This morning I am off to get the food shop done - the cupboards and fridge are bare. Other than that it will be a strange one, no Premier League football this weekend due to the international friendly, might try and get a nice walk in. I also want to try and book someone in to service the boiler during half-term, I've messaged a few but none have got back to me, clearly they don't need the work :(

    When I did the food shopping I bought 2 makeup items, they were £10 and £9 each but on offer as 2 for £12. I just checked my receipt and the offer wasn't applied. Quick call to Tesco and they have sent me a £10 gift card, glad I checked! :)
