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

coldstreamalways

We have shaved so much off everything there is little else to be done. Although we have managed to get rid of one car as my job has changed so I can get the train to work (which work pay for). All I have to do is cycle to the station, only three miles but it's up a flippin massive hill. Week one done though so really happy with the savings (saves us £100 a month) and the effect it appears to behaving on my legs!!

Not strictly money saving, but..

a) I bought a load of pepper and chilli seeds (for next year), which will mean we have loads of peppers in a years time. Yum!

b) Had a money off voucher for birthday to go to the theatre- which we spent today, booking tickets for a few weeks time. Cost us, but the voucher made a big difference - it's a bit of a treat - that's how we're viewing it.

baby steps for me at the moment!
1)avoided MrT today by popping to local shop for milk- came out with milk only (plus some sweets for mrtyo!) but not a whole big shop as I would have in a supermarket!
2)boiling up some bottom of the fridge veg to freeze before it goes off
3)book to list on amazon later
4)cash cards out of wallet so cant spend money I dont have till payday!

chamichelle - am constantly amazed at how much you manage! not surprised there is not much left to cut!

om - -theatre sounds fab! went a few weeks ago and it was such a treat

Yesterday I:

* walked to meet friends at the pub - even though it rained lightly - to save driving as it was only around a mile away.
* got new library books and renewed current ones - lots of lovely free reading
* bought DH an M&S lovely condition work shirt in a CS for £3 - nice and warm for the winter

Back from hols and been paid since i went. It's 11th of the month and I've hardly spend anything yet apart from bills, just a few things from Mr S to get me through the week.

Recently I have:

• submitted shop&scan, so £1.10 there
• sold a radio on ebay for £41!!:j (it was 8 years old so had no idea it would fetch that much!)
• Abandoned an idea I had for favours at my wedding which would have cost more than the alternative (which isn't "no favours", just making them more simple to do)
• bought three corn-on-the-cob for £1 at a farm shop - I love corn and bargains! Also bought apples for apple crumble, and they were a bargain too
• Have a mystery shop to do today too.
• ETA: Just finished a GFK Media Usage Survey to qualify for my £5!
