DH and I have started a jobs list which is working really well at getting stuff done. We have identified some big jobs that need working on and a list of little annoying let’s put them off as long as possible jobs. Every week we are having five tasks. It might be towards a big job or ticking off an annoying little job. Some are joint jobs and some are sole jobs but it’s working well and genuinely feels like we are making progress.So today my plan is to touch up an area of DDs bedroom that just got missed when we painted it. And then you live with it for so long you stop seeing it! Apart from that a day of pottering ahead. If it’s dry I will try to get into the garden for a while to do some tidying and get an uninterrupted hour with my audio book. I started one last night but it was scary and had chilling music on so was not the right one to listen to just before bed.DFW (08/08) £64,346.53 Gone (02/19)

I am finding Sainsbury's "triple points for £x offers" to be quite annoying, they seem to go up the more you spend. After I got up to a truly ridiculous *£150*, I raided my next triple points voucher out of a checkout recycling bin, £0 minimum spend

I do find Sainsbury’s quite good at giving me relevant offers - extra points on items that I do actually buy. They miss a trick though that when they have those triple points offers that if you return the item you don’t lose the extra points just the base points for the returned item.DFW (08/08) £64,346.53 Gone (02/19)
