Good grief, I am wishing the weekend away, I was looking for a sunday thread doh!

Today I have:

• Breakfast from stores
• Checked out some websites for London trip
• Added some brit trip points that Sophiesmum gave me - thank you!

And I will:

• [strike]Try and find out if there is anywhere you can leave luggage in London, got to be out at 11am on the last day, and not lugging a small case round til we leave at 8ish.[/strike]
• [strike]Do PB CT and comps[/strike]
• [strike]Take kids swimming using free swim vouchers[/strike] pool full, very upset kids so we will go tomorrow.
• Go to Sainsbury to buy more Kelloggs with free swim vouchers on, as they are on offer there (works out cheaper to buy a box of cereal with voucher than to pay to swim!!)
• [strike]Check banking[/strike]
• [strike]Check mystery shops[/strike]
• [strike]Lunch and dinner from stores[/strike]
• [strike]Check planet hollywood website to see if they have opened bookings on the 25th and 26th aug[/strike] Booked - OH isnt sure he wants to go now :mad:
• Order deal tokens from Tesco for above
• [strike]Buy bread and milk from Aldi[/strike] Missed it, will do tomorrow.
• Try to ignore the bargain Airsprung matresses that they have in Asda! The kids are desperate for new ones, and they are only £60 each, but arrgggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhh *and breathe* Still ignoring :rolleyes:

Well, think thats it, mammoth housework blitz in double quick time - kids currently slaving over their own rooms :T

• Booked a mystery shop for next weekend, at a pub, OH and I never go out on our own, and at least Im not spending money doing it this way
• Will watch a dvd from my free Blockbuster trial - series 2 of Shameless to get through by monday as the trial ends friday and I need to get them back PDQ.

That house was great, and apparently pets no problem! (phew!!) Now just scary credit checks, etc to get through. Have to pay £250 for those as well. What a con.:mad:

wish me luck!!

Brilliant news about the house Tess! Good luck with the credit checks, if you know something will come up then it may be best to pre-empt it and have a chat with the agent. The fee is awful isnt it, Im sure it doesnt cost anywhere near that to check your score.

I have today:
checked my online banking
been treated to lunch by my mum
got washing out to dry (hopefully)
charged mobile overnight on cheap electric

unfortunately i may have messed up when i paid my car tax, now i have to try and get the money in my account before my mortgage transfer goes out, the money is there i just forgot to take the card to get the money out. argh!

I never understand how they can justify charging that much for credit checks, when i lived up north you had to pay nowhere near that amount, infact three years ago up there it cost me only £20! Glad you've found somewhere you like though, thats the most important thing.

Cleosmum, your fella sounds like mine, he likes a good moan about something. Mine will pay money for stuff i see is too expensive but when its cheap things then he decides its not worth paying money for!

hi all, hope the rain hasnt spoilt too much!

today i have:
*checked internet banking
*checked my account out
*looked for a book keeping course to help me get a better job
*played free bongo
*had a NSD

Yes, it's disgraceful. Unfortunately our son has just turned 18 so we have to pay for him to have his credit history checked too - he doesn't even have one yet! I'm keeping him on the straight and narrow so far - he's not even got an overdraft!

I will let you all know how it goes, thanks for your good wishes:A

Didn't get much done today because of the head, which still hasn't cleared, have also spent a lot of the day sleeping, i don't understand how much sleep a person can have

Anyway not one to be beaten, i have just had to rethink my list for today, so in addition to the ones i have highlighted in my previous post i have:
-Did a phone call mystery shop, just had to input my data on the computer as i had made the phone call the other day.
-I have signed back up to onepoll and done some surveys
-I have done my daily clicks
-I have paid my credit card bill off in full so that i get my amazon points but don't get charged intersest
-I have done some slicethepie
-All meals have been from the storecupboard

So not a bad day really, jut had to rethink things and despite still having my headache i am not giving into it, its my weekend and i'm going to have a glass of my free wine:rotfl:

Will add others to this list as i do them

Cleosmum

Hope your head is better soon hun x x x
