Morning everyone!
very interesting to see what you are all upto today!
Here's my moneysaving efforts- check online banking
- make HM soup
- eat from cupboards and freezer
- hang washing on airer
- turn down thermostat - feel the cold too much to have it off completely as I have reynauds syndrome
- write christmas cards and pass them onto Mum who will give a lot of them out(saves postage)
- buy some coal on offer for our fire - can save on the central heating a bit
- re read the tightwad gazette
Do what you love :happyhear0 -

Good morning everyone. Nice to see you back casper, you have been missed.
Lily, glad you are feeling happier today, i think you are doing remarkable considering your situation.
Bathgatebuyer, i will be joining you in the ironing marathon today!!:rotfl:
Today's things:
-Last load of washing on 30
-I have moved around clothes and sorted out dry ones that i can get away with not ironing and put some on coat hangers and hanging up to dry in airing cupboard, to dry quicker.
-No heating on at present, despite the frost and cold, the threat of gas and elec going up by £35 a month, has got us looking at cutting it all down, although despite us not having it on that much we are still using more gas than last year
-have continued using up old beauty products
-Sorting through yesterday's post and am pretty pleased, i have just recieved a free diary for next year from one of the bookies i belong to
-Also two months worth of free dvds from lovefilm, schools close on the 19th, so it would be nice to have some good films to watch over christmas!!
-Am sorting out all posts and a load of financial papers and bags of bits and pieces
-I will continue to work through the 200emails i have
-Do some more surveys
-Email person back to try and fit them in for a massage
-Sort through clothes as they dry through out the day and put on radiators as necessery
-Make meals from storecupboard
-Move money around and place some matched bets
-Sort out weekly plan that i should have done yesterday
-Go through nvq work and do ABC form
-Create permission form for child study
-Fill out a form for work, don't get paid for this, but it benefits the children and thats more important
-Look at next lot of massage related courses
-Go on business site for advice
-Spend 30mins on promoting business
-Look for mystery shops
-Do boring household jobs, ie clean both bathrooms and hoover through house, oh joy!!

Sophiesmum, i just love free things, i do often wonder what the bank think of me when they see all this money going out to bookies. Every now and then the fraud team won't let me do a transaction as it may be for a large amount into a bookies, i then have to phone them up and explain, it always makes me laugh.
Glad you had a good night Cassey, thanks for the congratulations, am now planning my next course!!

Good morning everyone *creeps in quietly with a hoarse voice and an ever so slight headache*
Well, I had a good night last night! And you, my lovely DFW friends, will be pleased with me as I spent under half of what I had a budgeted for! The money I have left is going in the wedding pot...it's a good feeling (which luckily is stronger than my headache!):j
Small list for me:- Check lottery ticket
- Read news online rather than getting newspaper
- NSD
- Have tea round Aunties tonight - lovely free food!
- Chill out on sofa this afternoon with OH and a blanket rather than the fire on
- Make packed lunch for tomorrow and get work stuff ready
Joint debt with OH at LBM Sept 08 (excluding mortgage & student loan) - £34,069 :eek:
