getting-sorted-sarah

Used train instead of car to take DS to see his dad, saved £18 in petrol and half train fare back through Pigsback (really can't recommend this enough - only running till 11th Feb!!)
Ordered another voucher from Pigsback (because of above)
Resisted crisps, drinks etc in station
DS charged his game thingy on the train!! (good old Virgin) Also noticed there are sockets in waiting room so will take my mobile charger next time - every little helps....

hi,

sunnydoo - if you haven't been to new york you will love it if you love sight seeing and shopping. make sure you go to the visitors centre in both macys and bloomingdales to get your 10% discount card. in bloomingdales when i was there last october you got to pick a free gift if you spent over $100 when showing your receipt at the visitors centre.

my dfw things today:

found 3p

sainsburys - spent my usual 13p on 2 x 4pk coke with vitamins, 2 x 1 ltr uht milk and 1 x mulberry washing up liquid

usc - finally found a lovely firetrap coat for £70 (reduced from £145) - good quality and lined :T

boots - got another magazine, got olay handcream £4.97 (got 500 points back on my advantage card), olay face cleanser £1.50 cash (used £5 skincare voucher and also got 304 points back)

put photos in for developing for sister (will use the free photo vouchers to 'pay')

got free packet of tissues (voucher from ac machine - i didn't get this voucher from 2 different branch machines so worth checking)

river island - short sleeve dressy waistcoat style top £15 (used £10 gift voucher and £5 cash - rrp was £59.99 :eek: )

pizza hut - £13.99 (used £10 gift voucher, paid £3.99 cash) - dh was working late so thought we would have a take away (we don't often have one)

sold another ebay item which was listed yesterday

that's all i can think of. will package ebay items for posting tomorrow - too tired tonight:o

Today I have...
POSTED HERE for the first time.
Done some money shuffling (we are amalgamating current accounts to get the true picture of our debt)

AND - BOTH of my children bought home their star charts today (they have to collect 10 stickers for good behaviour in school) - and we have always said we will reward this...... SO the reward - new (£4) swimming costumes :) (which were much needed - 4 yr old was wearing a 18-24 month one!)

PRIOR to reading here - I would have probably bought them for them anyway and bought them sweets as reward !! (so good at many levels!!!)

Can I ask where you got the free photo vouchers from please sans, as I have just found 8 old films that I would love to know what is on them and if I can get them (or 1 at least) for free than that would be great!!

Many thanks

Morning everyone
Today I have:

• [strike]line dry washing[/strike] Yes
• [strike]have a nsd[/strike] Yes - just milk
• [strike]
• look at freezers between this evening and tomorrow[/strike] Yes - got one price; need to get couple more to bargain with.
• [strike]make more veg soup[/strike] Yes - forgot to put flour in to thicken, used a large spud and cornflour instead. Result? Gloop:o

That's it. Hope everyone had a good day!

I find myself wondering today if it's time to strike a better balance in life...
The weather's been really lovely here for the past day or two, birds singing, fresh balmy breeze, fluffy clouds, smell of spring in the air...
and all I can of is 'oh great - I can use the line today, no TD'
There's something fundamentally wrong with this, isn't there :rotfl:

Just registered - so don't know much about previous advice offered to them wot struggle!
If you need specific items to save buying, go to freecycle, and register there. There's a site near YOU. People all around you offer their unwanted items; ask for things they want too, and if you're struggling to get there (bus fares are a killer) some may deliver - but not too often. Bicycles, TV's, clothing, appliances etc. WONDERFUL. But I guess most of you know already!

..a scotsmans dream - and you can offload you're unwanted items without going to the tip or paying for newspaper ads.;)
