Hello! I'm loving this debt free wannabee stuff, I'm reading tips everyday, so today I have:

Cancelled my current home and buildings insurance, and have gone online to get Tesco's, actually making £26.37 in the process(Mr T gonna send me a £50 voucher for a spend at his shop)
Printed out a calendar for Oct, and filled it in with DD and SOs.
Worked out a budget for next two weeks
Made bread yesterday (wheat free)so I can take sandwiches to college this evening, usually I buy a crunchie and crisps

So today i have/will:
-I have sorted through my emails

Alphie, gosh you have been ill for several days now, hope you feel better soon.

Hi to any newbies today, nice to see you posting on here and to read your bits.

Piquant, i thought it was my maths, noticed the amount had gone up!! However, your doing something about it and its great that your blasting away at it already.

andan I'll have the lie-down for you:D you won't have time! I made some lovely cinnamon fruit bread yesterday, have a virtual slice with your cup of tea and know that someone here admires your dedication (and wishes it was infectious :rotfl:)

Good morning all!

Today I have filled a plastic container with water from my tumble drier to use on my iron instead of buying that smelly water (thanks moneysaving old style forum!!)

I've listed loads of stuff on ebay - target to raise by end of Nov is £150 to pay for all the kids christmas presents.

And I'm working on getting my OH to cancel a holiday we have booked - four days away between xmas and new year. We really can't afford it so I want him to cancel.

But thats all for today so far!!

Andan - I still have list envy - and I have to say my DD has expressly told me that its bad for the planet to iron so we avoid it like the plague (unless its a life or death situation)
Piquant hadn't noticed the additional expense (tee hee) well done you, a bargain by the sounds of things.....................

I'm trying to convince my boss to pay for my MBA (saving could be about £5K!);
Bought Tesco own brand goods at lunchtime (I mean, malt loaf for 18p? Superb!) - spent about £4.20 on own brand stuff and now got to carry it home which I kinda forgot about
Still plugging away at Pigsback for those 2,500 points from Petplan insurance taken out in June;
Checking for the £5.03 I transferred from Slicethepie to paypal.

Piquant_2

Fay - it was just plain naughty of me , but I might be able to pay the whole lot off this month, if things go to plan, I've requested £200 from paypal and I'm listing, in a very half-hearted fashion, on ebay. I took a whole set of photos and somewhere between camera and computer they disappeared :mad: so I had to set up and take them again!

I love the term list envy:rotfl:

Bathgatebuyer - fantastic name, by the way, can't imagine how you came up with it, actually I can, but I'm sure I've got an over-active imagination I've bought bargains like that before, never considering the carrying home of them. I find you get very attactive red ridges in the fingers, if it's a long walk...
