    So far I've done my pigsback clicks, made packed lunch for tomorrow and used up all the dodgy looking salad stuff that just won't last another day! I've also done several surveys and will soon be getting another free product to test out :D

    Bad day for me today.:(
    Dad got taken to hospital in a rush so spent £10 on petrol, £4 on tea in waiting room and £5 on hospital car park. Note of this was accounted for, but hopefully my Dad will be ok.
    He's been kept in overnight so I'll spend at least another tenner at the hospital tomorrow.:confused:

  • Sorry about your Dad Mandoo, hope he will be OK to go home tomorrow. Hospital car parking is outrageous!!

    DFW - today I ate value porridge for breakfast, took HM soup for lunch and cooked up odds and ends veg and pasta in a cheese sauce.

    NSD and hoping for another tomorrow.

    Hi Mandoo,
    Hope your dad is soon feeling well again. Moneysaving goes out of the window when someone is taken ill suddenly.:mad: :mad: I hate the charges that hospitals impose for parking when people are already dealing with illness and worry:mad: :mad: .
