  • Off work sick today with a stomachbug, but every cloud has a silver lining and this will not only save me money on lunch and a coffee but I was also going to be going out for drinks tonight so will make a saving there. I actually feel a bit better now so will try and make the most of a day at home and do the following:

    ~List another 5 items on eBay- I'm on a bit of a role at the moment
    ~Do Piggy Clicks
    ~Check Internet Banking
    ~Depending on whether I feel well enough, make dinner from store cupboard.

    Think that's about all I'll manage but better than nothing.

    Evening all. Glad to see you back headoutthesand and tallie, always look forward to everyones posts. Looks like you've been busy Klane, although may hold you to that ebay promise!

    Well a strange day for me, it was my last day at my current job, so both sad and good as i hope i'm going onto bigger and better things although it involves me working part time in order to set up my part time business and do my training to become a counsellor. Looks like my belt will be well and trully tightened!

    My dfw things for today:
    -Have picked up another audit for next week.
    -Have used old pop bottles as vases instead of buying a vase for all my lovely flowers i received due to me leaving.
    -Also received some lovely presents which will come in handy for my new holistic therapy business
    -Got a lift home, so no expensive bus fare
    -Cancelled going out tonight, saving me a load of money on a meal out.
    -Sorted out stuff for cinema audit tomorrow
    -Just sold an item on Amazon
    -Will try and do some surveys tonight
    -Work on action plan for next week
    -Work on timetable for next week to ensure that my free time is put to better use
    -No store cupboard meal for tonight, but will pop to the shop in a mo and look out for some last minute bargains.
    -Do some studying for O.U
    -Do some masage homework
    -Have checked for more mystery shops but none to be had

    Have a good evening everyone and a great start to the weekend.

    Got it spend it, hope your feeling a bit better.

    Well done cleosmum on your GC success.:T :T
    For the days out with the kids the walkers crisp brit trips are quite easy to save for. Don'y know where you are in country but there are deals for alton towers, legoland,and plenty other places. You just save codes from crisp packs and enter them onto the website.

    Do you have to buy the crisps for the codes? I would scoff and scoff lol. I have some days out 2 for 1 things somewhere here, must find them!

    EDIT How many points do you get per packet, cant find it on the link.

    Yep you have to buy the crisps as they are on the inside of packets but you could get other people to save them for you. ;)
