    Hello! Happy Saturday everyone.
    • Laid half a patio today with family help - managed to reuse some old gravel too so only needed to buy half the sand I thought we might. Also reused gravel and old tiles to make base to stand shed on, so that was good. Free exercise too, haha.
    • Tesco man delivered shopping - managed to save £18 off the bill (£57 which should do us most of two weeks and included stuff we don't buy every shop). Plus took advantage of special offers on drinks and cat food - have saved about £30 on this in the last 2-3 shops...have enough cat food now for about 4 months :rotfl:One more shop at the end of the month and we'll have a bonus 600 clubcard points too.
    • Going to list some books on Greenmetropolis shortly.
    • Have an Ebay auction ending later, so that's another £5-10.
    • Bought a plug for one of our sinks that didn't have one for 99p so we waste less water.
    • Checked mystery shops, but nothing today!
    Debt - Loan: £1150 C/C: £4763 @ 0%.

    Glad you had a good day in London Andan:j sounds like you found lots of ways to get the most out of the trip:D

    skintas :j well done on making the rice pudding:T

    klane- Weve been doing a greenhouse base today, it's hard work moving those paving slabs isn't it;) Good exercise though.

    Took Mum, OH and the kids to cinema, premier seats, total £7.50.
    Took snacks I bought last night - Asda 3 bags minstrels for £3, 6 small butterkist for 75p and Tesco for 6 cans of fizzy for 85p (£1.08 in Asda!).
    Free parking in town using Mums disabled badge, she has her uses lol.
    Washed 4 loads at 30 on quick wash.
    Airer drying above.
    Dinner was prepared last night and in slow cooker all day, so nice n cheap n easy.
    Checked banking.
    Checked ebay sales.
    Letter from Asda card saying they are lowering my credit limit by £100, must write to them informing them I am lowering it to zero and closing it :D
    Also got a default letter from crap one, need to write about having the default removed as it is incorrect in pretty much every aspect, for the 2nd time this year :rolleyes: (dont think they can get anything right).

    I'm about to do my piggy clicks n comps, and then watch a dvd (from lovefilm free 90 day trial :T).
