All the small things - tell me what you have done to be MF today

Bambywamby

Good morning all

It's a bit cloudy today over the UK today, let's hope for a bit of sunshine at some point.

Today I have/will:

*Help my son apply for two jobs.
*Start totting up on my self assessment for the tax man.
*Check CC.
*Walk the dogs three times today for lots of free exercise (one down two to go )
*Use free train pass to visit nearby farmers market.
*One Poll
*Use up pasta in sauce for tea as it is heading towards best before date.
*Used two eggs in DP's brekkie instead of three. He likes a huge amount of scrambled egg but I told him they were small eggs.
*Get lottery ticket for Sat.
*DP just got 8 hours overtime for tomorrow woop woop.:T

That's is so far.

Have a productive day peoples. x x

Today I have:

* Sent DH with pack up.
* Walked up to the local Mr T's in the locality to my work and got the essentials for the weekend. No time for a big shop as I'm going out tonight. Will do the big shop on Tuesday. This has saved me shopping at Waitrose on Saturday and spending more than I had to.
* Gained a £4 off if you spend £30 voucher from Mr T's - will use on Tuesday for the big shop.
* Used 2 coupons, one for points and one for money off.

Today:

At work all day:(
Received wage slip and have more money due to increase in tax allowance:j
Left my purse in desk drawer so I wouldn't be tempted to impulse buy during my lunch hour;). There are a couple of charity shops near to work, Wilkos and not much else, and I needed to get some fresh air.

If I had taken my purse I would have been tempted to buy:
Scraps of fabric to cover dining chairs - £2
Jeans and top from CS - £5
2 packets of seeds from Wilkos - £1
Whilst in Wilkos I saw they had the 100l water butt and stand. They are selling both on special offer on their website, but nothing to indicate that in store. I was going to ask, but wasn't in a position to buy so didn't bother. Think I will wait for Arg*s to email as they have a better offer on their water butts when they get some stock.:mad:

Our council sometimes does really good offers on water butts (and compost bins). Might be worth having a look at your local council website.

AB - I have tried the Council (and I work for them) but no luck - the good times are over. Also Freecycle/loot/ebay were a negative. Arg*s have a good offer for the butt, stand and connectors for £20 - BUT NO STOCK AT MY LOCAL:mad:

Whats this I see to the right of the screen - Tesco scrapping DTD!! the good times are well and truely gone

I like this thread - lots of great ideas.

- Today I started my mortgage free wannabe diary.
- I also stocked up on two-for-a-pound facial wipes in Poundland - I find they're just as good as Boots ones but much cheaper.
- I did a couple of surveys and watched some videos on Maximiles
- I close two bank accounts I don't use any more, and cancelled one credit card that I got for the 0% deal which ran out at the beginning of this year.

Things to do this weekend

- borrow another clothes rail and wallpaper table

Sounds lame but the only thing I have done today is obtained some plant pots from a local Freegler so I can sow some veg seeds Look forward to doing a bit more tho! I guess if I'm being really tenuous, not being at work over Easter has saved me a bit in commuting costs too!

I've tried a bit today, as DH has been out working since 6:30 this morning and only just got back, so i find it best to stop me getting bored.

• OP - 75p
• i did 2 survey network surveys - about £1.50
• crowdology - 40p
• BP - £5 amazon voucher arrived.
• yougov - 50p

I was wanting to do some review writing too but ended up reading a book, and then this evening having about an hour chatting on the phone to my sister so i think that was probably time well spent too.

I might quickly see if there is a review already written i can paste onto ciao.
