Sounds like your going to have a very productive day too Klane, well done on all those bargains. I can't wait till i pass my driving test so that i can visit my family up north and take advantage of all the offers up there, they always seem to have so many bargains!
Well have done my mystery shops, managed to avoid buying too much in the charity shops. I also got two bags of groceries from Sainsbury's which only cost me £3.20, some were reduced items and then i used my £10 voucher from Toluna, so it was very cheap. Also used train to get to the town i was mystery shopping instead of the bus as the bus was more expensive. Had better go write up those reports!:j Live on £4500, £2531/£4500:T 101 in 1001 (52/101):j:beer::j

However, today I:
- am working from home, instead of driving the 60 miles to work
- have checked my online banking
- have dumped some cash into an ISA

I have:
Caught up on housework - free exercise.
Checked online banking - all ok, still trying to work out why my tax credits have gone down over the last 2 weeks, no changes to report, surely they should have gone up?!
Airer dried clothes.
Packed and posted 2 ebay parcels.
Cashed a PO to pay for above postage.
Bought the kids sweets with change from PO.
Meals from storecupboard.
Done piggy click and comps.
LISTED 2 ITEMS ON EBAY - the ebay drought may be over.....
And I need to:
Go to Tesco to buy sweets and drinks for cinema tomorrow. Also buy a beef brisket to put in slowcooker for tea tomorrow.
Will try and do some Lightspeed surveys but they never seem to load.
Check Toluna.
Might do a shopping list - have resisted shopping so far, want to see how I do just getting essentials as and when needed.
Just updated my sig and realised I have almost paid off £1000 since feb 08, might be more as my new updated spreadsheet is a slow work in progress lol. Feels good
