Hi All
I quidco'd membership of Betfair and Coral last night (total cashback £55) and had a little flutter on the footy as I knew the cashback would more than cover it - bet £5 on a draw and won!
Did our shopping on budget (£50) including catering for 7 tomorrow for fathers' day
Lunch with Mum from leftover split pea soup from yesterday
Checking all accounts and online bills
OP an extra £60 on mortgage from room rental. Will hit max £500 this month!
On the note of efficient driving, DH is doing IAM at the moment and his instructor says you should be in 3rd at 30, 4th at 40 but that would definitely make my fuel efficiency worse and the car would complain (it's a diesel so much more comfortable in higher gears/lower speeds than a petrol)MFW Challenge member no. 96 - on hold! :rolleyes:

I joined dooyoo, and wrote 3 reviews, really enjoyed it. The 3 products were all things I have used for a long time and really felt were very good value so that felt good. Will do my daily clicks now infront of the TV.
Getting a bit down about the whole being disabled thing so it helped to review my camera from the point fo view of someone who walks with a cane and drops things. Atleast it might be helpful to someone else with similar problemsLindsayO
