The Friendly Frugaleers, watching the pennies as we wait for sunshine!

[Cagliostro]

Hello, all welcome!

Wow, Fluffy, good going!

We all need a little boost every now and again, Snuggly. That was very decent of the shop assistant.

No it's application, on line test then the 6 competency are tested at assessment centre - which is case based exercise, group exercise, role play then interview.
The on line test was hard. The application they just basically needed your name and current employer.

I thought volcano too. Stay safe need.
Must log onto nectar when I'm back

Thanks Creme. I'm hoping to have a free Christmas this year. I found it tough last year.

Wow life that is quite an interview grilling. Good luck!

No idea why that posted twice- sorry

Hoping everyone had a good nights sleep as no one posted over night

Currently stood outside in the cold waiting for a lift. Fortunately not getting the train today as not sure I would get to work!

It's going to be another nice day here.

Ds has a party to go to and I'll need to pay parking which is annoying because I don't have any money! I'm going to take ds to the park whilst dd is there, he will like that. I'll take him a packed lunch too.

Fingers crossed for you Life, maybe at least you have a bit more time to plan, so some form of positive there. Hell of an assessment though, bloody hell.

That sounds like a lovely day snuggly, having the extra pair of hands really makes the difference sometimes doesn't it?

Trip to coast today. But waiting for DD's tutor to call first.

Just downloaded a free app called Wunderlist, keeping me organised. I prefer being organised

Glag you're doing to the GP Fluffy. Very good idea.

We're pottering along here. DS got better after 3 hours, presumably because he is now 75% iron, from the diet that I have been feeding him.

I'm still on the potatoes. But we had a nice time sitting in bed all day yesterday doing projects, which was nice. We've never done that before. Definitely a step forward that.

I'm actually up early! Next doors dogs are howling! They're usually really quiet.

I'm going to best offer on the rollerblades. I made £30 on online casino last night (profit), so have bolstered my 'spends' pot. I think the blades are long distance/marathon type things, so will have to find more decent tarmac, we have a few miles of cycle track and an ace park nearby. I'm still justifying it. Well I'll offer low and see.

Will sign up to this nectar thing, can cope with surveys, but I often ignore the emails offering them, which is stupid.

need is DD waiting for a level results? Good luck if so!!!
Wonderlist looks interesting. May get that one.

fluffy how do you sign up to erewards? I looked yesterday can see how to log in but not how to sign up....

Hope the gp goes well too. X

Log in to your nectar account on the desktop site, click on search then enter "e rewards". Then join.

If your Dh has a nectar card then you can join him up too & double up on points.

Nectar points can be spent in Argos, eBay & pizza express so they can be quite usefull to have.

Free 4 pack of cider on checkout smart & quidco clicksnap. Usefull for bbqs & Christmas parties. Mulled cider anyone?.

I really need to sort out our nectar card, have used it for points in Sainsbury's but we got it so long ago I can't remember the email address, password or even whose name it's under, or whether it was this address! Might just sign up fresh (but can still use the points on the old card in store I think?)

Hi all, we didn't have a great nights sleep! Dds friend who was sleeping over couldn't sleep and got herself in a panic so i had to drive her home at nearly 1am long time since I've been out of the house at that time Had to wake dd up as well as didn't like the thought of leaving her on her own at night so we both didn't get much sleep!!

Oh well first time thats happened when dd has had a sleepover and had to happen at some point I guess.

Have been invited to a wedding in Ireland next June its in a place called Waterford, any of the Irish frugaleers know it? Not sure will be able to afford to go but will look into it.

Not sure what the plan is today, am scratching my head trying to think of things that cost nothing!!

Cag If you ring the nectar call centre they'll help you. You can spend instore as long as you have used the card there recently.

Thanks fluffy I'll do that :)

Don't suppose anyone here knows about Ancient Greek...?

Went to bills for pancakes but they had run out. Ds was so upset as was I we actually left rather than pay for something we didn't really want.

fluffy thanks. I wondered where I was going wrong.

I have a nectar card for use in the uk and on eBay so being able to rack up points will help. Nowhere here accepts them (itnis/was a sainsburies thing wasn't it?)

£333.12 spends today. On parish rates for the year. This covers upkeep of roads electric bins etc.

Was driving home and there was a dog running in the road so I rescued it and took him home just so happened to belong to someone I used to work with.

I've just been at the hospital having my diabetic retinopathy screening. I can't see as my pupils are huge. Just guessing what I'm writing
