Morning all!

Giving myself a kick up the bum and back onto the MSE trail (old MSE-er but somewhat lapsed!), especially needed now as we are expecting baby 2 in December :j. Some of these things might look like biggies but obviously are not things I can do every week ie sell car lol!

Today:
BIG
Do a ring around and sell our car (not as dramatic as it sounds- it's Sorn'd, and in bad shape but I can get £80-£100 for it). I don't drive, DH walks to work, preschool etc is all very closeby so we are going carless for a while to save up and get a better car before baby. Hubby off work part of next week so its being picked up then, price to be determined by minimum £80!
Cancel car insurance (unless there is a big penalty) Big penalty - so worth paying it for a couple of months as much cheaper than cancelling but worth checking!
and RAC cover.Despite my setting the policy up, they will only cancel on Hubbys say so as he is the named driver but he was back late so unable to ring, moved to tomorrows list.
Sell gazebo & event/picnic table no longer required.

SMALLER:
Freezer/fridge/cupboards sortout - use up week, and alter online weekly shop accordingly. Done
Review all my incomings / outgoings inc DD's Done
Get some things on freecycle (less cluttered, more organised).
Start a NSD log Done
Order soapnuts (split order with Mum) Waiting for mum to try her sample of soap nutes to see if she wants to split an order

Think that'll do for a start off :eek:

On the upside, I got a suprise order today so am £30 up there, a new Shopandscan scanner and my weekly points go from 1000 to 1100 (better than a kick in the teeth!), and am feeling v virtuous as have started to remember how much I enjoyed being on the MSE trail before and the satisfaction from saving pennies. Good start I think!

Sorry you've had a crapday Erme, hopefully you'll feel a bit better tomorrow.
As for the Fridge/freezer, we should get an email from Martin if we are signed up to them (I am!) but if not keep checking back. The odds are slim I know but it would make a huge difference to us, my freezer has on its way and fridge not far behind lol!
