Hello do you mind if I join?
I don't have a huge amount to add but today I have;
1. Compared lots of sites for the best home insurance quote.
2. Transfered a large chuck of money to our joint account as it has a much better rate of interest!
3. Didn't buy lunch out today as planned.

Great steps Little*Miss - baby steps make us all MF as they are part of new habbits.
Today for me:
* didn't go to a knitting wool sale
* drove a longer way home as the petrol light came on and I didn't want to get motorway services petrol
* drove home at 60
* got my ebay shopping through - cheaper than amazon and got 20p from TCB. Also good as I waited for it rather than went to the shops for it last weekend.Debt at highest: £8k. Debt Free 31/12/2009. Original MFD May 2036, MF Dec 2018.0 -
I haven't managed much recently, but have just got back from Tesco as I needed cereal and milk. The only box of own brand cornflakes (finally persuaded my father through the sneaky packaging-changing method that own brand are just as good as Kelloggs) had a huge hole in the box. At the till I cheekily asked if the cashier could knock something off and when she checked with her manager they went from being £1.24 to 50p! That's made my day, and I had to share and no one else appreciates it like I know you lot will!:j Simple things eh?! (And I'll know to always ask in future too!;))

Good for you Vix. My last two trips to Mr T they have overcharged me due to shelf edge special offers and products being wrong. I have queued at CS and got a few £ back each time. As you say, no-one else would bother or understand our joy!Debt at highest: £8k. Debt Free 31/12/2009. Original MFD May 2036, MF Dec 2018.0

Well done Vicky. That made me chuckle.
What am I like, I start this thread and then abandon. but in all honesty, I have been too busy trying to make money.
Chow have a promotion on where you get 50p for every review in certain categories. DY have their own promo with bonuses in certain categories. I am a bit like a cat with 2 tails and i am not sure which one to chase. I also won a £10 on a comp on chow, and £2.50 in the DY prize draw.
Not much else going on, other than the kids being boisterous, and the summer hols approaching at a rate of knots.
Oh, and i said I would help to paint the school yard and so far I am the only volunteer.0 -
