Hi All,

I am fairly new to the DFW section but have been reading this section and getting lots of inspiration so thought I would add my own list for the weekend in the hope of getting round to most of it!! So here it is:

Use up eggs - bake some cakes.
Sort out e-bay items that are ending today to send on Monday.
Daily Scratch - 50p today!!
Surveys - Done
Food planner for week - using food from the larder cupboard
Enter competitions
Carry on sorting through clothes ready for charity shop/ebay.
Cook up some meals and freeze down.

Think that will do for now - got to get into the flow of it!!

Evening all,

Just wanted to say hello. Sorry I've not had a chance to post in ages but not sure where my time has been going. I don't think I'm doing anything different. Maybe cleaning the kitchen floors more - I'm a bit oc with my kitchen floor

I've done a few things and in the process of making a Christening card so better get a move on with that. :A

This is a great idea!

So far this weekend I have

• signed up for weekly spend challenge
• started the sealed pot challenge
• done a 'stock check' of the fridge, freezer and cupboards
• bought my train tickets home 9 days in advance and saved way more than expecting...

Tomorrow I intend to

• plan meals for the week
• go to Aldi/Lidl... have not yet been (there is a Tesco 100m from my front door) but determined to explore the nearest discounter to see how much I can save
• explore bigwardrobe*
• make lunch for Monday

* I had never heard of bigwardrobe until I read leelee24's post - so many, many thanks for that.

Hope you are all having a great weekend

Morning all :j

Looks as if it will be another lovely day :T

Yesterday I:

Checked online banking

Dealt with animals' and plants' needs

Dug our first new potatoes of the season, and had them with smoked haddock and broccoli. They were lovely - made a really plain meal into a feast!

Weeded the garden

De-flead (sp?) the cat and dogs

Did the shopping (spent more than I had intended at Mr S :eek:)


Today I will:

See to animals and plants as always (chickens need cleaning out today)

Make HM meals

Make something to use up loads of eggs - my hens are going mad!

Do housework

Washing and line dry

Do an hour's work on tax returns (mine and OH's) :eek:

Have a nice day everyone :hello:

Morning everyone, and thanks for the welcome urg

today I am looking to...

• go for at least a 4m walk (free and healthy!)
• check bank balance
• photo items to put on ebay
• clear out bathroom, and identify what needs using up
• water veggie plants

that's all i can think of right now. this all depends, of course, on whether I can actually get out of bed!

Hello all

Still to do today:

• [STRIKE]count up pile of small change found in a tin last weekend![/STRIKE] done got £32!
• photograph some items for sale on ebay and get them listed
• [STRIKE]try on trousers from bigwardrobe swap and leave feedback for the sender[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]sort through cupboards and see what food we have in, make a list for tomorrow's shop[/STRIKE]
• think a bit more about this 101 list
• update blog, haven't done it for ages
• [STRIKE]relax and take it easy for the rest of the day as still feeling under the weather and seems that OH now has the same thing[/STRIKE]

Today I will be trying to do those things I didn't manage to get done yesterday! I did list some more books on Amazon and have sold one this morning so that's a little bit more money to come my way next week when it hits the account.

London Welshcake - be warned, bigwardrobe is highly addictive! If I'm not on here these days I'm there...

Enjoy your Sunday everyone!

Thread seems a bit quieter than usual this weekend...

Roxiepie - have you come across the vegan thread on the Old-Style Moneysaving board? There's lots of good recipes, etc. on there. Here's a link: http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=1451243


This weekend I have/will:

• done my free scratchcards (10p yesterday, 20p and 10p today)
• worked at the other job (9 - 6 yesterday, 1 - 7 today)
• online check-in for our Dublin trip on Tuesday (DONE!)
• lookout Euros left over from our last trip
• daily clicks
• iron work clothes for tomorrow :rolleyes:
• paint nails (this nail polish chips so easily! must invest in slightly more expensive stuff next time round as these cheap bottles are a false economy)

Have a good weekend everyone! x
