after noon all i am back.! i found myself in iceland and they have mint feasts my fav.. yum, 12 pack for £3 usually i would have bough a few boxes without thinking but as i stood looking at them thinking do i need these? YES how many do i need? loads. no not loads the freezer is full and they are £3 for 12 not esactly a complete bargin. so i bought one box and that is all i bought food wise. i bought dd guess who for £1 at the car boot an ice cream a burger for me. and spend £1.50 on 3 book very good for us at a car boot. the book once read will resell on amazon for loads more. then i treated dd to a £5 toy and we parked for free. so a great day out for under £20 usually would have been over £50!!! lol

how has everyone elses day been?

moneymabel

well done jen-a great dfw day by the sound of it!

well, we went to tescos bought the cooker and brought it home to find that it was a microwave/grill not a microwave/ oven-so back to tescos with that, then went to argos as they had one in their sale, none in stock,found two more possibilities, both out of stock. Then went to currys/ comet, absolute pants so still havent got a cooker, me and OH in a bad mood, dog hasnt had her walk and everybodys narked off.....but it was a nsd lmao!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now waiting for ebay auctions to end :-) still about 3 hours to go though!

i have lots of watcher on the items i listed last night unfortunitly it is my sisters and dd stuff dd is so desprate for a ds she has saved up £36 and is now finding stuff she doesn;t want for me to sell!! oh dear i will have to find something else to get her for x mas at this rate!!

moneymabel

ahhhhh bless her, hey at least she is getting an idea of what things cost and how to earn cash-thats a great thing jen!! you can still get her ds games for xmas-reckon you could get some on ebay, people buy them and then get bored when theyve completed them? and then u can borrow them for your ds as well lol!

jenjade

yeah i really wanted to buy her a ds though she is such a star (most the time) she deseves a treat!! however i can;t discourage her from saving so i will just have to see how much she gets and go from there!

got to make cake, sort out car insurance before the month ends and i end up tied to tesco.... and sort out the cheapest possible gas and electric

moneymabel

games are expensive though and if she takes all her savings to buy the ds she will be annoyed if shes got nothing to play on it! Will still be a good treat, especially if you can find some cheap ones so she can have loads!

jenjade

yeah you are right mm. i have bought her one game nintendo dogs got it on offer i found on ukhotdeals for £8 delivered...

if she gets one i will have to get one too though!!

would be nice for her to have one to pay over the summer holidays!

jenjade

went to hmv while i was out and they sell ds so i changed the vouchers from boots and hmv to just hmv,so i have £20 hmv vouchers coming my way. thats a start. actually that will be the first lot of money i have actually recieved from surveys

moneymabel

cool! i reckon you should put them towards your ds as you won the vouchers

moneymabel
