Used a 5p off per litre coupon given to me by colleague, squeezed an extra 2 litres in to save an extra 10p
.
Signed up for Vernons via quidco, £20 back for £10 spend. They are doing BOGOF on footie pools so here's hoping for lots of draws next weekend. Already tracked :T.
Found some money-off vouchers to add to pile, will list on ebay next weekend.
Listed CD won in comp on Amazon (Sergio Mendes anyone).
Checked pigsback, 10,000 points added :T, so went to order vouchers but all I checked out of stock :mad:.
Updated spreadsheets as far as possible. However, mortgage doesn't go out till tomorrow & I'm away tomorrow night so won't be able to update properly till Tues, or snowball to make sure still on track _pale_. Anyone got any tips on how to get through this.

Today is a definate NSD for me, so today I am going to
1. clean my kitchen floor - least favourite job
2. iron DH shirts for work next week
3. catch up on paperwork ready for DH return on Monday
That will take me nicely into getting DD ready for school tommorrow.
Dinner is left over Cannelloni with chips, fresh cut of course.

Today I've done 2 mystery shops - only about £10, but also £10 worth of stamps which I can use on ebay parcels.
Posted one Green Metropolis book, and packaged another to send tomorrow.
Spoiled it by buying a book off there
, in defence I read Vol 1 20 yrs ago & have wanted to read Vol 2 since - library don't stock it.
Picked up a mystery shop for tomorrow (note to self - I will not eat the chips, I will not eat the chips, I will not eat the chips).
Going to docs tomorrow. Just checked, and all mystery shops which required a presecription are gone :mad: .
Fed Peefer the mortgage pig - nearly full :j .
