What Have You Done Today That is DFW Stylee? Monday 8th May

OK I know it is late in the day but I feel the need to get this down in writing!

I have:

Banked £5.73 in small change

Am off to make broccoli & apple soup for the freezer (thanks OS!) as BF forgot what we were eating for dinner tonight and made something completely different....and I can't bear to waste the broccoli! :D

Rung up an acquaintance to get a plumbing job done and he only charged £15 whereas if it had been someone out of the Yellow Pages.....well.....I dread to think.

I took my favourite boots in to be reheeled before I ruined them...shame that I won't get them back for a week though :sad:

Posted Mum's birthday card but she said she would wait till she sees me in a couple of weeks to get her gifts so to save on postage (feel a bit rotten though......am tempted to send her some flowers...via Quidco of course :rotfl: )

Did some clicks/searches on QuidCo.

Hopefully there will be some more things tomorrow.

I hope everyone else had at least one money saving event today.

    Well I was working from 10am - 8.30pm so lunch and dinner were provided for me free of charge! If that isn't DFW stylee then I don't know what is...

    Ever wonder about those people who spend £2 apiece on those little bottles of Evian water? Try spelling Evian backward.

    I made all my lunch, breakfast and dinner , and didn't spend any money at all, not even online!

    In fact, I made about £30 from Quidco, paid in some checks, and got my debt down on the Barclays account - only a little bit to go, and then I can hammer down my HSBC Account!!

    Apart from bus home, Ive managed to keep my pennies in my purse today!

    Ive done a survey for 80p ooh! Cooked tea from scratch , packed tomorrows lunches and took sausages out of freezer for tomorrows tea.

    Quite boring but cheap nonetheless!

    mmmmm oops a daisy, do you have the recipie for the lentil & tomato soup per chance? I LOVE making soup, I find it so healthy, filling & a pleasure to make. I made the broccoli & apple soup tonight and BF just got home & said it smells really tasty :T

    Would love the recipie if you have it...I have a whole bag of red lentils to use up somehow!
