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

Well done Michelle. I've:

* worked hard all day (am shattered)
* got cheap food shop in Herr A on the way home and cooked instead of take away
* drove home at 60
* at the weekend I wore my bra with the straps tucked into my dress rather than buying a strapless one - it was a special occasion for which I'd got a CS dress that was strapless but never normally dress like that.

Now off to bed... zzzzzzzzzzzz

Not much at all from me

• Signed up with another account on OnePoll - £2.50 bonus and a few surveys and I'm already over £3
• Made a nice big load of potato salad for tea and have enough left over for OH's lunches - he says mine is the best he's ever tasted
• Had a BBQ (on a Monday! :eek: ) saving electricity using donated briquettes and we have enough left overs for another meal/OH's lunches

Could anyone recommend other survey sites like OnePoll?

You might like crowdology. They email you when there is a new survey, and it is usually about 5 minutes/40p, although they do longer ones and i have never qualified. They are always a bit random, like you get 90 seconds to give as many answers as you can to a question. Today it was stuff like name the programme that this nurse was in - list of names - space for you to fill in the answer. Then there have been ones like name as many Sean connery films as you can.

I quite like it, but its taken me a couple of months to reach £4 paypal payout.

Hi

I was hoping to join your thread for some inspiration.

I have cut all the bills down to as low as possible. We did this four years ago when I moved in with my now husband. We regularly check the bills and keep and eye on how much gas, electric and water etc. we use.

I have now come to the point where we can not get the bills down any further and we are spending as little as possible.

Do you get to that point where you think you can not do any more???

So it must be that I now need to do the little things and for that I need some inspiration!

Before everyone shouts "make your own bread" I already do that:rotfl:

but other suggestions would be fab xx

So far today I have

- got three ebay items with bids ending
- listed some bits and pieces on folksy destashing my old supplies.

Just join in paidinchickens, and do whatever you fancy that someone else does. I guess when we are all doing so many different things, it might give you an idea what you have time for or might enjoy.

For me, i feel a bit of a failure today. I went to Mr A to make a start on kids school uniform ready for September, and spent a fortune. Nothing we didn't need though sadly. Not as bad as the woman in front who had to leave half her shopping as she couldn't pay for it.

Back in though, i got a crown on DY this morning, which took my account to the £40 level, so i need to make sure i work hard for the next couple of weeks to get a payout this month. Averaging £50 every 2 months still, but it is slow.

That must have been embarassing for the woman in front of you Michelle.

I have:

* HM Soup for lunch for me - no lunch for DH as he's on a course and they provide lunch.
* Received my 1st Mr T voucher off VO in the post
* Dinner from mealplan tonight - just need to get some mushrooms and a courgette on the way home

I did some photography for a friend a few weeks ago, and we got a food voucher (pizza something) which we'll use for a date night, alongside some coupons if at all possible, buy 1 get 1 free deal I hope.
Made some lovely brownies last night, loads of them and super cheap
MOM made a lovely stew 2 nights ago, at least 3 meals there, and we used up all the veg that would soon be going "past it" although some very odd coloured brocolli didn't make it into the stew!
