Eternal Optimist - was that after doing the review? I havent done mine yet, hoping they go up as I am earning £200 a month less now. The last 3 weeks my TC have gone down each week without me updating, sure it cant get any worse

Today I have:

• Done PB comps - no CT today.
• Checked ebay
• Checked banking and transferred some money to sit in my savings until tuesday.
• Checked Odeon for kids club films - premier seats for £2.50 each child and adults free :T (next film we want to see is 24/5, then followed by the next 3 weeks, better sell some stuff on ebay lol).

And I will:

• List some items on ebay - though I have been saying I would for a few days so must get @rse into gear!
• Walk to Aldi with list of essentials and not spend more than that (cash, leaving card at home).
• Sort out picnic foods for tomorrow, though not sure where we will end up.
• Plant some veg in containers - spent £15 on plants and seeds and havent had time, need to before they wilt!
• Wash 1 load of school things on 30 quick and airer dry for tuesday.

Think thats it, will update if I think of more. Sorry, not going to manage to pay off my mortgage (dont have one) or buy a Bentley (quite happy with my Zafira lol). :rolleyes:

Morning (afternoon)!

- got ebay things ending tonight - hopefully make about £50-60. Good for the May £10/day challenge!
- list some more things on eBay
- washing on 30, line dry
- accepted another MS for £7 which is brill as it's literally 1 min from my house
- will bbq later
- hopefully go collect some [STRIKE]free [/STRIKE]bits later to finish off the garden [STRIKE](freecycle)[/STRIKE].
- going to double check the gas meter so I can challenge a bill (get this - looks like the people we bought the house off gave a false reading, meaning they stuck us with their bill - for one month, the bill we got is £120 - it should have been about £30!! Even their customer services thought it seemed odd!). Once that is cleared up, we can hopefully look to do a duel fuel switch too.

Any of you guys car boot sale experts? There's one near me next weekend but I've never even been to one so trying to learn about them with a view to selling at it (see post on May £10/day thread). All advice welcome!! Annnd... is it worth taking some freshly baked cupcakes along to something like that to sell as well?!

Today I have/will,

-Have picked up a compost bin from freecycle
-While I was in town went to Mr Morrison for bargains and got loads of tuna, two big blocks of cheese and non animal tested showergel. One cheese will be grated and put into the freezer
-cooked lunch from storecupboard and will do the same for supper (left over supper will be served as lunch tomorrow)

Was going to clean upstairs but decided to abandon the plan as eBid shop at the moment more important and wouldn't have time to do both.

Hi all,

My dfw things for today (got up at 6:20am so I could get housework done before leaving to go to the shops :A );

• Washing done at 30 deg on quick wash and hung inside
• Mothercare – brought DS a pair of trainers and a pair of shoes for school (to pay away for later) total cost £8.25 (both had been reduced and buy one get one ½ price)
• Asda – got their own brand food processor £12.97 (normally would have got a branded one but they normally break down outside the 1 year guarantee so didn’t bother getting a branded one – also saving money) and a few other items (used £5, 4 x £1 and 1 x 20p off coupons)
• KFC – got my first free meal (provided I get refunded for it as it was my 1st ever mystery shop)
• Submitted my mystery shop assignment

That’s all I can think of so far.

Well done on the mystery shop Sans, KFC jobs are one of my faves, mainly because i love chicken, i rarely do the Mcdonalds jobs, even though their willing to pay me!

Cleosmum, sorry to hear about your TC problem, hope it gets sorted out soon.

Sophiesmum, its only an exhausting list if i actually get all or most of it done;)
