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

pink_poppy

Did a shop at Tesco for myself & my Dad using a £9 off a £60 shop voucher that was printed off the last time I was there. Wouldn't have spent that much myself so was :j

Got another £9 off a £60 shop voucher printout at the till ~ thinking of using that one to stock up on Christmas wine ~ I'm planning ahead

Also got the 5p off a litre of petrol

Bought the M&S meat deal (3 for £10) saving £5.97

I had a NSD today

Out of interest if you just had a DD leave your account would you consider that a NSD?

Yesterday ~ made 45p on OP & £1.00 on VO

Today ~ hoping for a NSD, making quesedillas concoction for dinner with out-of-date tortillas (family will be blissfully unaware of this fact ) & leftover HM chilli, rescued some clementines from DH who was about to put them in the bin because they'd been in the fridge for a couple (or 4!!) weeks ~ I'm sure they'll be fine!!

The last few weeks have been ridiculously spendy so now that everyone is back at work/college/school I'm going to sort through our finances & sort out meal plans/shopping lists etc.

Popped into the Bank yesterday to enquire about the fixed rate ending ~ I should get a letter soon but I'll automatically go onto SVR ~ can't wait to find out how much less we will be paying (& therefore how much we are able to overpay) ~ hope I'm not too disappointed!! :rotfl:

Me again

Got a letter from the Halifax to say I'll be on SVR (currently 3.5%) from beginning of November. I've been on the MFW calculator & I think my mortgage payment will go down approximately £83 per month Can't wait to start making overpaymentss!! Woohoo :j


Small things today ~

• NSD
• chopped & froze some peppers & lemons that had been languishing in the fridge a bit too long
• used the lemon net bag to scrub last night's moussaka dish (or moose ka ka according to my kids ~ a 'Friends' reference apparently, not to do with my cooking skills!!:rotfl:)
• took a small portion out of the leftover chilli we're having tonight for kids to have with a baked potato one night ~ it doesn't have kidney beans in atm (DH doesn't like them) so will add them whenever they have it & that will pad the small amount of chilli out nicely
• Hung the washing out to dry ~ lovely breezy day today
• OP survey 15p ~ this is actually the third time I've done this particular survey & I've got 15p each time ~ hope they don't take it back off me when/if they realise!!
• Couple of hours gardening ~ free exercise & I want to get the garden tidy before our local Council stops collecting garden waste for the winter, saving me petrol going to the tip in the car

And it's me again... Think I must have frightened everybody else off!! :rotfl:

Oh well, I'll just have to chatter to myself

Small things today ~

• 65p on OP ~ could have earned another 20p but it was the same survey I'd done earlier ~ for some reason they keep duplicating them
• Had a couple of the rescued clementines from yesterday for my lunch ~ perfectly edible
• Freezer contents inventory undertaken ~ had forgotten all about a bag of mediterranean veg I bought months ago so will use that to make a few portions of pasta sauce ~ will have to blitz it so DH doesn't see what's in it ~ ignorance is bliss as they say!!
• Been playing with the MFW calculator to see how many years I could take off the mortgage term when I start overpaying ~ could be 4 or 5 ~ roll on November & please, please Bank of England, keep those interest rates low for me!!

Must try harder

themadvix

I've been MIA for a while as work has been so manic (which is good!) but I have managed recently to:

• Earn £15 by doing a 3-parter mysurvey survey
• kept up (for the most part) my swagbucks clicks
• enjoyed lots of freebies from the freebies board on here
• claimed two lots of £10 from Vivatic last month
• done several mystery shops (including a theme park!!)

Must try harder and get back into the groove with surveys etc now work has quietened down a little. Quite excited to see some bargain bridesmaid dresses on ebay, so may come in dramatically under budget on them!
