Today I've:

* used the Boots No7 voucher I was kindly sent by an MSE-er (thanks heaps again) so I got my new lip liner for £2.50 not £7.50
* walked to a local boots so avoided town centre
* shopped carefully in Mr A and brought home free Mr A mag to read instead of buying a mag
* done my RM daily posting
* tracked Q cashback for an NCP car parking - should be able to claim the car park back from work so get free 20p cashback Don't think I've ever been so pleased to park in an NCP in my life

Today i have:

• written one review on DY for 30p
• done a GTM survey for 30 points
• Done a surveynetwork survey for 80p
• rescued a punnet of tomatoes from the bottom of the fridge that had started to go furry. Chopped off the furry bits and cooked them as a pasta sauce for tea
• harvested 6 large strawberries and 2 lettuces from the garden.
• DH fixed his car fog light himself rather than taking it to a garage.
• clothes have been dried on the airer rather than the TD seems though it has rained a lot today. I did peg out twice, but it was a joke running in and out all the time.

Today/this week I have....

used discount voucher for meal out
free drinks voucher for drink with friends
sold a cd on amazon!
got paid my expenses from work
Shopped with 2 money off vouchers £6 free food in total - plus some free birdseye egg fried rice with a voucher
apart from all my eating out with vouchers used up meals mainly from stores and made pack lunches for us every day near enough!
done meal plan for next month

looking back on this it is mostly all food related! hmmmm....but to be fair this has been one of our biggest areas of savings/cutting back!

Since I last posted I have:
Gained 300 Nectar points by spending £90 in Sainsbury (managed to buy stuff for work to get it up to £90)
Received my 4 free tickets from The Telegraph for the Thursday at Goodwood Festival of speed but donated them to FIL raffle in aid of Children in Need and raised £315. We couldn't go anyway.

Got the cats back on the cheap cat good pouches saving about £2 a pack

Did'nt spend the £30 off £60 spend at Littlewoods as everytime I found something online I fancied and Kelkoo'ed it it was at least 20% cheaper elsewhere so even with the discount it was not worth it. Expample Ipod Shuffle only available in Orange special offer £10 off at Littlewoods £49 - Sainsburry's in any colour £39. By the way got a 2nd hand one of Ebay for £25 which will save me taking my Ipod touch to the gym and in the car. Littlewoods is a rip off really but guess its aimed at people who need interest free credit. Loads more explamples Phillips headphones £27 at LW £17 at John Lewis or Bio Oil 125ml for £18 at LW £10 for 200ml elsewhere.

Got a "free book" from a MS

Got a whole plastic bag for a £1 of book from a charity sale, loads of great one and loads of DVD's and CD's could have bought a load on sold on Magpie but did not want to exploit the charity.

Cleared all the Kids old toys and got them ready to go to Car boot sale. Set my washing maching timer so it started at 4am when my tariff is cheaper.

Bit of a mixed one for me - i've been bad:o

Non MFW activities
- ordered pizza from the local takeaway - £21 although we got a LOT of food(and a bit extra that my OH swears he didn't order by accident) and it will last a few meals... i just had a craving!:o

Good things

• needed some new tops for summer - finally got round to using my xmas vouchers so for 6 tops I spent £14 but they were worth £67 - difference going to OP
• caught up with surveys etc - slacking a bit on these
• putting washing out to dry as it's such a lovely day
• Need to pop some bits on ebay/amazon later *yawn* i don't know how you guys put so much on there.. it's one of them put to the bottom of the lists jobs for me (just above cleaning:rotfl:)
• using up bits in the fridge for a stir fry
