Two Pennies Left

What a fantastic day :cool:. Very exciting marshalling the Olympic Torch - much flag waving and high fiving the Police motorcyclists as they passed. Went for a lovely pub supper with Mr F and some friends after (which will come out of this month's entertainment budget).

Not much MS stuff today:

• Cheque came today from the family member - £138 instead of the £128 I'd thought so that's a bonus. That will be going straight off Mr F's credit card.
• Mr F was paid some expenses he'd forgotten about so that's another £100 or so for credit card clearing.
• I've decided not to transfer my home insurance to my mortgage provider. Seems that they broker each element to a different insurer - buildings to one, contents to another, emergency cover to yet another, etc. Some reviews say that this has caused problems as, if your house falls down for example, you then have to deal with each insurer individually. If there was a catastrophe I just wouldn't want the additional stress of co-ordinating all of that. The next best quote was with T£$c0 so I'd be really interested to hear from anyone who has had to claim through them.

Mr F is back and it doesn't look like he'll be away again with this company. He is starting a new job soon which will give us a little bit extra to play with - hmmmm what to buy? Shoes? Chocolate? Gin? or Kittens? :rotfl:

Take care all

A very good day today MS wise:

• Mr F does indeed have hundreds and hundreds of Avi0$ points so a case of wine has been ordered :beer:. He has soooo many in fact that we will be able to get a second case in for Christmas, buy the main prezzies for DSS1 and DSS2 plus their girlfriends and a trip to the theatre for us! Woo Hoo!
• Also, Mr F checked his N£ctar points and we were able to get a £10 voucher for Amaz0n so that will go towards the J0hn L£wi$ lamps. Still waiting for my surveys to be rewarded though - £8.50 at the moment. What to do? What to do? If I buy the lamps now they'll cost me £10 more. If I wait for the surveys to be rewarded they might not be available. Answers on a postcard please :rotfl:
• Paid £420 off DH's CC which is 20% of the total owed. Some of you might be wondering why I'm not using our savings to clear this but we're still having work done on the garage and will need the cash to pay the builder.
• A few $wa9buck$ earnt.
• Tomato and spinach tortillas and a Bacon, Leek and Potato Bake with veg from the menu plan.
• Still have some old money from the in-laws collection. I did some research on the internet and it seems that NatW35t will exchange pre-decimal currency for the face value. No harm in asking anyway so I'll pop in next time I'm in the village. Any coins worth more are currently on Fleabay.
• Another NSD. I'm quite good at these though. I do an on-line shop once a week and that's it - no popping out to the village for forgotten items. If it's not delivered we do without. Forgot the butter once - that was a creative week :rotfl:

Anyhoooo - as we will have a replenished wine rack soon, Mr F and I are sharing a bottle of red. I'm on my second glass and very nice it is too. However, I believe there may be some virtual law against being drunk in charge of a diary so I will say goodnight now.

Goodnight

QB Wolf - that's definately enough for a case of wine or a theatre trip. Check out their website. I don't usually look at flights or hotels because they cost soooo many points but if you search under 'Entertainment' there are lots of bargains to be had. Thanks for popping by and good luck.
