Monday 27th April "What small DFW things have you done today?" Thread

Hiya, everyone seems to have been very productive. Hi to the new posters!

Pipsmum- do you have any teething powders? They seemes to settle my son when he had his jabs.

from earlier....
1) Won 50p on scratchie. :eek:
2) Tis peeing down so I am taking T to the cinema and using free ticket vouchers. Don't have to pay to park at this cinema either. Saw Monsters vs Aliens and he loved it. Also took own sweets.

3) If he is a good boy I may also take him to lunch using my Luncheon Vouchers. Saved them for another day.

4) A lady is coming to pick up an item I have posted on Netmums. Its only a fiver, but it isn't something I am ever going to use again. All done

5) Will list more items for sale. Haven't had tome yet, maybe tonight.

6) Check online banking, Quidco etc. Done

7) Will pop into Tesco next to cinema and buy more bargain wine if they have any. I got some the other day and it is lovely - normally £9.99 a bottle but with the Wine Festival promotion it works out at about £17 for 6! Didn't have any, oh well.

I also

8) Cashed in some survey points for 2 x £10 vouchers for present stash.
9) Returned a mouthwash I had nearly finished as it has been recalled and got a full refund.
10) Stocked up on washing powder as it was on clearance at £1 a pack.
11) Storecupboard dinner. Word of warning - Lidl cheese sauce mix is totally minging. _pale_ Obviously this is just my opinion!

Today I have;

-Daily cards - 35p
-Took lunch to work and had breakfast at home, which stops me from having a coffee on the way to work thus saving £2.80
-Charged phone at work
- Posted CD and Book sold on Amazon, although under priced so profit was almost nil.
- Checked online banking

Evening all - better late than never eh?!

Another busy day - had to drive half hour to Bristol ti pick up the spare wheel for my car...should have asked for petrol money but was too chicken:o

Anyway...today I have done:

• Scratchcards - and withdrawn £10
• lunch to work
• wrapped more ebay parcels sold - will post tomorrow, no time today
• bought cheap strimmer (£12) and toaster (£25 down to £15) in Tesco and paid with the £50 gift card they gave me for having my car insurance with them...bargain:beer:
• Bought DD2 new jeans, but only £6.
• Made a loaf in BM
• Dinner from plan and freezer store
• emailed mean Tesco about my home delivery - check the prices they charge - 2 items came up more when delivered!

I've now just got reallly excited as I've found out that housing benefit now no longer takes into account maintenance payments - so when useless ex gets his a*se in gear and pays me then I shouldn't lose any HB....all extra for me....lovely;):T

Pippilongstocking

Done my online banky stuff - um moved - money not spent in edinburgh into the accoutn for dd to go away on her trip (dad forgets to put the money in the bank!) so its all sorted

Walked doggies 3 times today so he's exhausted! Had a nice chat to DS too as we walked about the block here

Talked to OH - vented a bit about everything and he just said it would all be fine

Spoke to my MUM - (mega wierd) we don't talk - not that we have essentially fallen out or anything - she just doesnt do 'children' or people, anyway had to tell her my brother was moving into a house up here - and she's so ODD - we must have spoken 2 times in the past year or two and you'd think we spoke weekily as it was such a non event for her and she couldn't get off the phone quick enough.

Some people are very strange - I intend to stalk my children - forever

Oh well - made the kids and brother a rhubarb crumble after tea (I dont liek crumble)

Welcome to new faces - hope Pip is OK - Mogchops great thread today - SM hope you are back soon - waves lots.........

Quick report from meeeeee:

• Walked the dog
• NSD - YAY Me!
• Checked the internet on my PC and not via my Mobile (hopefully cheaper)
• Looked for a job
• Received a PM about daily scratchcards
• Yesterday I did some more clicking
• Storecupboard tea - burger and chips
• Storecupboard lunch and more importantly freebie brekkie from Jordans (the cereal people not Katie Price!)....

Ok, so not a lot of stuff, but something and another day goes by without me spending on the plastic. Fantastic.

Morning Mogchos, the daily DFW gang and any newbies,

Busy day today - got interviews for new people at work :j. Have lots to do - today is payday:j. Here's my list:

• [STRIKE]charge phone at work[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]print May budget[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]withdraw cash to pay for yoga classes and to add to envelopes[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]lunch to work[/STRIKE]
• storecupboard dinner NOT HUNGRY
• [STRIKE]post my grocery challenge totals [/STRIKE]- if I don't count my spends at work for food then I am under budget. But, I think that if I spend money for food at work then it should come out of the grocery budget so I am way over. Need to focus on this!

That's it for now. Have a great day everyone.

Evening all - just posted my update. Need to post my GC money and will do that in a minute. Looks like you all had a great day.

I've just got back from my yoga class - lovely! Just going to have a shower, tidy bedroom a bit and then head to bed.

Didn't spend any other money other than the Yoga spend.

Have a lovely evening.

Well everyone what a horrible weather day, its just not nice at all, its cold which means we waste money putting the heating on even for an hour, we waste money standing in the shower with the heat up full trying to get warm and well its just not nice!!!!!!

Oh and to top it all off havent managed to get any of my aimed jobs done as finished work, went round to my sisters for her birthday and ended up spending money on a takeaway - great!!!! So now need to make the money back to break even!!!

must make money, need to clear debts and get focused!!!

I didnt tell you, my mse food shop was great, i have got enough food for 3 weeks including all the meat, tuna (hubby has one a day - 20 tins), cleaning bits, and I only spent £85, was so impressed as normally would spend well over £100!!!!

Cleosmum

I have bought the throwhouse in to the living room, much to OH annoyance and found 2 slugs merrily munching on my greenery! The flippin cheek! OH has now put me to bed as I have felt dizzy all evening, ears are killing me, glands up Fingers crossed its gone by the morning as I have tons to do.

Hi everyone,

Can I ask a question about the free daily scratchcards?

I've just registered and deposited £10 to the St Minver 'cheggers' bingo site in order to do the daily scratchcard. Once I win a couple of times and my funds go over £10, am I allowed to withdraw the £10 or does it have to stay in there?

Many thanks in advance

Lynsey
