Look at this for a great bit of completely free motoring.

Everytime I fill up my car with fuel i very carefully take the nozzle out of the pump and tip in the dregs into my tank. After filling up i always make sure that i empty all these dregs out too. This way i reckon i am getting an extra 25ml of petrol per fill up. (not a lot but read on....)

I put petrol in the car on average twice a week. Rather than fill up and carry all that extra weight around i find it most fuel efficient to fill up to half way then run down to just above the red. (This takes CAREFUL planning as if you run out of fuel in a car with a catalytic converter this can cause a serious dent in your wallet - so dont run out of fuel!!)

So I estimate that under my new MSE lifestyle i am getting on average 50ml of fuel "free" per week.

1 Litre of free fuel = 20 weeks @ 50ml per week.

Getting 2.5 Litres of free fule for nowt every year is a winner!!!!:j:j:j

1st Test

OH came in from work with man flu ..!!.. so i popped to the off license for lemonade for a hot toddy before bed. While there I would usually have bought chocolate bars for both of us along with crisps and other snacks for the TV later. I did not get anything else, just the 99p lemonade. So that saved me another £2 at least.......savings today approx £14 and seeing as I only had £10 in my purse, it has also saved me a trip to the speed bank where I would not just have got out what I needed but extra "just in case" just in case what ? .....I want to waste more money. So at least £20 has stayed in the bank to see another day. :j

Lazy morning for me, was out late last night so taking full advantage of being on flexi time!

today's wee list:

-check bank done
-leftovers for lunch done
-do some washing, before work yup, ok so its still in the washing machine!
-put some things on ebay 10 things listed, hooray!
-resist the vending machine managed another day
-find more things to ebay not quite but there's time yet
- investigate online surveys No idea where to start!

Not bad, but lost my motivation a wee bit today cos I'm tired.

Need to get on with it really!!
