Good afternoon all!:)
The weekend went soooo fast and I had the whole weekend off too. (I usually work one day over the weekend just for a few pennies.)
Not sure if I mentioned this before, obviously me and OH need buildings insurance so went on money supermarket found the best deal on Esure, went through Quidco and it said make £40 cash back so thought hmmm ok well it would be nice but doubt I'll get it. Went through insurer direct which saved me £24 anyway and then! Got the £45 cash back in my account made my week!!!
Told OH about the cash back he was quite shocked I don't think he really believed me when I have mentioned it to him before, now seeing it in the account he wants to buy everything off Quidco!
I think he's defiantly getting there, I have examples:) we didn't go into town this weekend as he said "it's all extra money!" Not only that but we had been drinking as we were at a house party at that point! I was quite proud deep down lol and I picked up 5p at a store we were in the other day, and said oh dave (we call each other dave people must think we are odd) found 5p he seemed chuffed and said it could go into the change pot we have. :T
It's just so much easier if we both have the same attitude.
Although I have to say we haven't had a great NS weekend, we brought a dinning table which was on offer from £1399 to £1099 and then we got 25% off with a cadbury card so brought it down to £845 with delivery. I know it's a lot of money but we also got a lot of table for our money, and it should last us for years and years!
Also went to a house party. OH annoyed me and brought 12 beers which everyone else at this party seemed to drink, was a bit of a waste to bring so many, I did tell him that at the time but he said he didn't want to be tight. I brought a bottle of wine so that was about £13 for the booze for the party.
Talking about our house tour my mum has brought me some coffee, tea biscuits for it, really sweet and saves me having to buy it bless her.:)
We also went to Nandos which was so lush it's a real treat, then went furniture shopping, didn't buy anything large but got a few little bits for the house. We are getting there though we are now onto kettle and toasters but we like the really expensive ones! Going to try and wait till one comes on offer or something. I know it sounds like we just spend but we don't honest.:D We have under spent on the majority of things we need by going to car boots, charity shops etc. So may splurge a little on the things we really like.
Been reading a thread on MSE it's called make £10 a day, it's about saving £10 a day in whatever way you can, for more information see Little Miss Challenge. I may start this off sounds like a good motivator. :) Have started that on the 15th so worked out I need to save £170 by the end of the month. With the £45 from Quidco not too far away.
