Today I have -

Done my daily clicks. Made £702 in 2010 which is really pleasing. Going for £600 in 2011.
Got screened out of a survey.
Took dog on a long walk and found 2 x 5p in the slush. Melting snow is ace for finding loose change
Checked bank - no sign yet of some click and survey money I cashed in before Christmas.

Still to do -

Go to Poundworld and get next years cards & wrapping paper half price.
Mooch around the Asda clothing for any work clothes in the sales but won't be spending a lot.
Stay in tonight munching Christmas chocs and bics

Hope everybody's having a nice Christmas break.

Hi everyone,

I too, am loving being off work! But instead of shopping today I need to get on & tidy up this house, it's such a tip & I want to make good use of my time off by well & truly sorting things out, including unpacking the boxes "dumped" upstairs when we moved 6 months ago....lol.

So today I have/will:-

• [STRIKE]Brekkie/lunch (I had a nice long lie in today ) using up eggs & a bit of bread[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]Finish 2011's bills diary & calendar[/STRIKE] No quite finished but nearly done at least
• Finish up organising the accounts paperwork
• Find items to ebay
• Keep reading through "losing lbs whilst saving £££'s" thread
• [STRIKE]Enter comps[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]Check for surveys[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]Tidy up - lots!!![/STRIKE] Not finished but made a real dent in the top room
• [STRIKE]Hang washing up as I didn't get round to this yesterday, oopsie[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]More washing on eco setting[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]Washing up[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]Spend at least 10mins going over my tkd terminology[/STRIKE] - need to pass first time not shell out twice
• [STRIKE]Try to finish 101 list bearing in mind it needs to be fairly MSE![/STRIKE] Shall review tomorrow with fresh eyes & change if necessary, but I think I'm done! Just need to site to be up & running now
• [STRIKE]Dinner using up leftover roast chicken (using my new cookbook) - didn't do this yesterday but we did use up some tortellini that needed using up soon so not too bad[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]Put up curtain poles[/STRIKE] Bedroom done, lounge to do soon
• [STRIKE]Put up curtains bought in sales - should help keep heat in[/STRIKE] Again bedroom done, but lounge still to do
• [STRIKE]Take out recycling[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]Quick shower[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]Let hair dry naturally[/STRIKE]
• Put together a regift box
• Put things bought in sales for birthdays/xmas into storage

Think that's it for now, going to get a move on with this so hope you all have a great, moneysaving day x

I never ever know what to do with the giblets, but the frugalister in me wants not to throw them away :rotfl:

/QUOTE]

The dogs love them, but you have to cook them first (in water, and use the resulting stock for making the gravy to go with your roast ), make sure to remove any bones (like the ones in the neck) and cut it up quite small. I guess larger pieces would do for bigger dogs, but mine are tinies. My old cat used to love it as well - good Christmas dinner for pets, and no smelly mess in the bin .

Update -

Found another 2p on muttley's afternoon walk, :rotfl:that's 18p i've found in the snow over Christmas

Got some posh coffee for a small hamper for friends upcoming birthday with vouchers from surveys.

Didn't see anything I fancied from Asda's clothes sale but got all my Christmas cards and wrapping paper for next year from Poundworld for the grand total of £2.50

Update:

I currently budget £20 per month for my PAYG mobile - I have looked on the web and found that I get 100 mins and 500 texts per month for £10.21.

I clicked through Quidco (£30 cashback), picked a phone, paid delivery and it should be arriving on Thursday.

So, £30 has tracked, I reduce my outgoings by £9 per month and the new phone will be going on an auction site once I have unlocked it. I am hoping to get at least £100 for it.

I also have gained £30 discount off a new mobile as part of my PAYG tarrif (V!rgin have a red discount thingamy). Might buy a phone, unlock it and auction it off - or offer the phone to my mum.

Hubby is due an upgrade next month, and I will be having his phone (to keep rather than auction it).

I am really determined to make a dent in my debts in 2011.
