Great list Mirry

Sometimes I wish I was a fella and could just shave all my hair off (like I do for my BF). Would save me a fortune. I would also have a good reason to let my leg hair grow. No make-up. No lady-personal items to buy. No matching accessories. Wash my dressing gown once a year.

.........Wow, until you think about it you don't realise how easy / cheap they have it!

Yesterday didn't turn out to be a NSD afterall and had a rather disasterous expense of £83 last night that I'd rather not talk about and is making me feel sick thinking about it (£83!!!!!!)

Today, i've had a free lunch at work
Charged my mobile
Dinner at friends tonight so no food or electricity to use at mine :cool:

I've looked at the best ISA rates for my BF's ISA Pot (well what's his is ours and whats mine is mine only joking)

Also this week I'm making a concerted effort to think about QUANTITIES. Ie. using only the amount I need - Toothpaste, loo roll, shampoo, moisturiser, washing up liquid.....instead of giving it all a good squirt and wasting some.

coldcazzie

Hey curly - to help you on your quantity mish... how about buying some soap dispensers to put your washing up liquid, shampoo, conditioner (not toothpaste though :rotfl:) in so you can start to reduce them? Ie, usually I'd use 4 squirt of shampoo but today I'll use 3. Then every 4th wash is a free one that I wouldn't have usually got x

Hi All,

Over the last few days I've:

• Cut fiance's hair (thanks Mirry for the reminder that that counts!)
• Received a £10 Sains voucher from Maximiles (last of the £30 needed to buy mums' orchids as thank yous for wedding:j)
• Done Superpoints, Swagbucks & watched videos on MM
• Did a survey for £2 Cap Bond voucher - took all of 30 secs!
• Free meal out with soon-to-be-in-laws
• Sold something for 99p on ebay - must venture out to post today!

Thanks to Coldcazzie for her referral, I now have a superpoints referral link, if anyone would like it?

Loving the quantities challenge Curlygirl - think I'll have a go!

Over the past few days:

• Charged phone at work
• Brought lunch and coffee to work, without fail.
• Decluttered a bit, found a few items to sell on fleabay - I am now waiting for the next free listing day.
• 2 items which I had listed on the last free listing day has bidders - hoping they pay for it after they win and not backtrack
• Have done superpoints
• Gone through TCB to get the free eye test and CB from Optical Express
• Picked up 8p from the road
• Deposited the cheque for £2.20 from Try-me-free offer of McCains ready baked jackets.

Hello

Last night went to buy friend (who was doing my dinner) some flowers or wine. The flowers at his local shop were naff, I was bamboozled by the wine choice (he's an expert so felt a bit intimidated) so ended up buying him a bar of chocolate :rotfl:He's 'lergic to nuts and there was only one bar at £1.29 that he could eat. Cheap night (I felt like a cheapskate actually)

Lunch courtesy of work

Got paid today. Offical pay date is last day of the month but we always get paid early (bizzarre I know). Sometimes as early as 21st! So when it arrives in my account I sweep it into my instant access savings until the 1st of the following month - I've worked out that doing this probably earns me about £7 in interest every year. Ding Dong!

Charging phone at work

Chocolate Tax 36p
Sleeping Fine 50p
Exercise Reward 50p
(Desperate aren't I )

Anti-MSE:-
Going out tonight £8 plus petrol

Thanks for good idea Cazzie

Thanks unhappy, good tip on the eye test.

Been charging my phone at work (and their phone).

Did a shop on my travels so saved myself some time and saved buying more expensive food later.

Checked TCB before booking and should earn another few £ for booking into a wedding hotel for later this year. £5 for the last wedding and maybe around £7 hopefully for this one. Every little helps right.

Got a claim updated in TCB today - a missing £10.10 now tracked.

Used ebay to order conditioner instead of buying in the salon - cheaper and nectar points

I am taking scrimping to yet another level. I am charging my home laptop at office so that I can run it on battery for 2/3 hours this evening at home conserving my energy bills. Is that ethical or not?

One of my ebay items has sold bagging me £10 and it goes straight into 'Fujitsu'.

I guess it is no different to charging your mobile?

This week is a friends wedding so meals have been free everyday since friday and will continue to be until sunday!!

few surveys here and there, chased up missing incentives from some others and don't normally do this but is good I checked as got a response saying due to technical errors some ID's had been missed! (that would have been £2.50 missed!)

charging phone at work, printed few coupons to use on groceries
