Check online banking
Light speed panel surveys (& request Paypal reward from accrued points)
Update all singing & dancing spreadsheet!
no Daily Clicks today.... i have a headache :-(I have learnt from my in-debt days....never again!0 -
Hi everyone! :wave:
Woo! Managed to log on from work!
- did a quick shop before work - got ingredients for moussaka so I'll make that to last over the weekend. £7 for 6 portions so was quite chuffed. Also got some woopsied bread for the freezer and some laundry powder with £1.50 off.
- NSD @ work. Brought in HM soup. Mmm.
- yoga tonight so that'll keep me out of mischief
- listing a coat and a pair of trainers on ebay
- will check mystery shops/piggy clicks later
- emailing a friend so I don't need to call (only get free calls included at the weekend now).
- got a confirmation from Clubcard that my vouchers have been dispatched - might go out tomorrow night courtesy of Mr T. Unfortunately the coin jar won't be buying the vino though - £10.45 only and not in the same coin so I can only bag up £1 in 1ps and £1 in 2ps. There's almost next month
Happy Thursday!
xx
PS: I really love this thread - it's so motivating and upbeat and full of nice little hints and tips about how everyone else is being DFWesque. I think it's really important to be positive about a situation (and the little steps are what keeps up the positive outlook). Thanks everyone!0 -
Just back from the shops and have got quite a haul for the money/vouchers i had...
Got 3 smart Tshirt tops, 1 nice work top, 1 pair of smart trousers, pair of jeans, some gorgeous heeled red shoes (quite impractical but fab and used a gift voucher towards them), a face cream for £1 in Boots (used £5 off voucher) and a load of school stuff and 2 books from WHSmiths (using the remainder of a gift card and £3).
Not a bad stash for the cash! And only £10 over budget (bit naughty but I hate shopping so only go once every blue moon).
Off to do a job app now - have a good afternoon!0 -
Hi all!
1. Having a low spend day - just posted something to an ebayer and have bought some milk. Hope that's it.
2. Going to 2nd job half an hour after I finish 1st job!
3. Not going out
4. Booking up some mystery shops.
5. Ebay listing like mad over the the next couple of days and the weekend!
6. Talking OH out of going to the cinema tomorrow - I am such a killjoy!
Happy DFWing everyone!Overpay!0 -
