Happy birthday sophies mum and piglet.
Hi everyone
I have
- phoned tax credits with updated info, I have additional childcare costs but am earning slightly more, so hopefully it will balance out!
- hung washing out
- bought return leeds - london train tix for £17.50 for a few weeks time
- set up for payment to be sent to CC on monday for £124, overpayment on virgin credit card, hopefully I will have rid of it soon, balance now around £275, from £8000 (BT £5000 to 0% and cashed some shares in for rest)
The £124 is money from a deposit someone paid me £50 and £74 interest from last years ISA. Figured its better on the debt than earning a few pence interest.

Dont know what else I will be doing today, but not a bad DFW start.

I have:

• Checked banking
• Checked ebay

• Took Mum to the hospital and claimed back the fare (£6.20).
• Did a mystery shop whilst there so got free lunch and got paid to do it :T
• Submitted MS report
• Checked for more mystery shops - none on 1 and not allowed on the other as I an a newbie lol
• Did 4 Boots shops
• Found a £5 skincare voucher on the floor
• Used the ACM as that store has them and printed enough out to last me til my next visit as our local one had no ACM :mad:
• Argued with SA over some additional points - but lost :mad: Told her I would write to Mr Boots, she asked me what I was moaning about as they had given me a £5 skincare voucher, what more did I want?! :mad::mad::mad: (was extra points on TD but not allowed to use the vouchers in same trans so didnt qualify grrr)
• Found a receipt with 56 points on and got them added
• Used a £1 off voucher, 100 extra points, 50 extra points, 50 extra points and got 2 x £5 skincare vouchers. Total points: £19.19 :T
• Done PB ct (had to wait til tonight to get one!) and comps.

And I will:

• [STRIKE]Go out for a walk - free exercise[/STRIKE] Gone thundery and wet out, will do some tennis on the Wii instead
• [STRIKE]Will go to Aldi for cheap bread and no tesco temptations![/STRIKE] OH wanted to go to Tesco so we did and I spent £19.36 but I did manage to get some points added on and used some vouchers off without having to buy the items. And it was all stuff we did need at some point this weekend.
• [STRIKE]Will eat dinner from stores[/STRIKE] Had to buy pasta as we had run out
• Will watch a dvd from free trial

:bdaycake: :bdaycake: one each for the birthday peeps!! How DFW is that, virtual cakes?!

All i've done today is grab some bargains at sainsburys for the weekend's shopping and get turned down for a focus group because I don't highlight AND dye my hair. Just highlights aren't enough apparently boo hiss, 45 squid for an hour and a half! Still, the last time focus4people called to offer me one, they just wanted to check that our joint savings were over 50k :rotfl: :rotfl:
Oh well.
Have a fabulouso weekend away sophiesmum, let me know if you need me to horsesit
