Hi Flying Fresian - ta for the post on my thread. What is your name on e-bay if you don't mind me asking? - I am in need of a new bag and the sales didn't have anything I liked whereas all the full priced stuff was lovely and hard to leave behind *sob*.

Same as my name on here - I'm a sucker for originality

19 items listed, will to live lost. I really should list more bags, but I'm tired and Mr Fresian is luring me into watching DVDs so that wins.

Hope you make lots of £££'s from the ebaying.

Morning all!

Urgh to Mondays and urgh to being back at work

Still, a DFW's gotta do what a DFW's gotta do

So far this morning I have:

Put dishes away from last night
Done washing
Changed cat litter (urgh, and it was Mr Fresian's turn)
Requested £9.95 payout from Amazon
Made chilli and put in slow cooker
Done dishes from that

Now, I just need to polish my halo then I can go to work :rotfl::A

Ebay

19 items listed (including some lovely shoes and makeup *sob*)
8 have people watching already
4 of those have multiple watchers
2 items have bids(!) totalling £6.98

Frugal plans for today

Take lunch to work with me (HM soup, HM flapjack, reduced grapes, reduced crisps)
Take full advantage of free coffee at work
Charge phone at work
Pay Very bill for cheap clothes bought before Christmas

Money

Spends = £40
PAD = £15
Groceries = £0 (Went to Tesco/Pets At Home yesterday as I got a lift offered. Spent £40 but paid this from my Spends account, so not overdrawn) Now have enough cat litter to sink the Titanic as Catsan is £7 in Tesco!
Entertainment = £5.10

There are 4 days till payday :j I'm still planning on hiding my groceries/entertainment money in another account until the 1st though to really be able to evaluate the frugal challenge.

Better get ready for work I suppose. Have a good day all!

While I remember....

Would anyone like £10 off when they spend £50 on an online shop at Sainsburys? I don't need £50 worth of stuff and won't for a while - needs to be used by 24th.

First to comment wins!

How dim am I?- I have spent the last 18 days thinking 'how unusual it is for FF not to be updating her diary!' and only today did i occur to me you might have a fresh one. Doh! Oh well, made it eventually

Evening all!

Another Monday out of the way

Frugal activity today has been quite good:

• Slow-cooked chilli for dinner - 3 portions kept for tomorrow and two portions (for two people) in the freezer
  
• Brought lunch with me
• Charged phone at work
• NSD #8 for January
• Last bill before payday came out and I have too much money in my account (!) so transferred £19.66 to be my PAD for tomorrow
  

Ebay

19 items listed (including some lovely shoes and makeup *sob*)
9 have people watching
8 of those have multiple watchers
3 items have bids totalling £8.97

Sainsbury's code still up for grabs if anyone wants it. Nothing else to report really - although I'm off to the Sound of Music tomorrow night which I'm really looking forward to :j:j:j:j
