Tues 9th March - What small DFW things have you done today?

La_escocesa

Hi everyone :wave:

First day back at work for me today Stuggling through. So sleepy and trying to get back into the swing of things.

I am trying to be a good DFW by doing the following:
- staying focussed :rotfl:
- not spending at work all done
- looking at my March budget and current cash flow situ it's gonna be tight
- putting cash in the bank (too much temptation if it stays in my purse!) I'll probably need to get it out at the weekend but hey ho
- putting any coins under 20p in the jar 14p
- looking for/completing any mystery shops/surveys currently made £9.90
- swapping old phone for piggypoints so I can then swap them for vouchers for birthday pressies I need to buy throughout the year 13500 piggypoints = £45 vouchers for me!
- updating spending diary all done. boo to spending!
- smiling that I got £50 in bank charges refunded just by asking still smiling. Now going to see if electricity company can explain my bill!
- batch cooking dinner tonight, lunch tomorrow and dinner on Thursday sorted.

And the biggy!
- paying off credit card #2!!!!! :j:D:jstill smiling!! I've managed to pay it by moving some other £££ to this - obviously need to pay back the other one now but does mean I won't get charged interest. Always a bonus.

I also got a call from them last night asking if I was interested in promotional rates for balance transfers. Whoop whoop. Will need to give them a call back when I do clear it to see if I can maybe get cc#3's balance transferred to them away from a soon-to-be 15.9% card.

Happy birthday triangle - have a fab day!! Enjoy your meal out!

Today i'm going to work 3.5 hour overtime tonight - i dont' want to but i will - i have committed to make £20 per day in march so have worked out i need to work tue wed and thurs every week overtime to hit target. I know it will be worth it when i'm out of debt but my house is a disgrace and I should really tidy it up!! Nevermind.
Not spent any money today but not car shared either ...

I have taken the doglets out though and I will report back tonight about my overtime and update my signature to show what i've earned which will hopefully help my grumps!

Afternoon all!
Happy birthday Triangle! Hope MS is feeling better now?

Today was long but relatively good for a teaching day - tomorrow I'm just teaching in the morning then being taught in the afternoon (policies, not gripping but at least I don't really have to think!)

Today's efforts....

• Had brekkie at home
• Took lunch to work and had the bits from yesterday's lunch that I didn't eat
• Having freezer tea - only me tonight OH playing footy
• Walked dog to Pets R Us for wee pads (he has one down when I'm at work just in case he's caught short) - got own brand ones and saved quite a bit and dog and I got a mega walk in the process
• Check banks
• Have a nice bath and relax later with Xmas smellies
• Start another job application
• Noticed local Tesco is closing for a week this Sunday so will pop over on Sunday afternoon to see if there are any bargains

That' sit for today....
