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

Today used the £10 free fleabay voucher to buy a sprinkler for the garden. So, I have kept aside a matching amount as mortgage OP.

Also, used a 5p off fuel voucher to fill up saving £2.

I have checked my stock of freebie toiletries and have enough for DD and me for a weeks holiday later in the year. Plus I have some small sized bits of stuff for DH and DS which I have paid for, but only in the sale in the New Year so again, they are sorted.

Having spent a while reading through this thread and pinching several 'small things' to help us on our way to MFdom thought I'd pop in and say Hi :hello:

Today has been a NSD even though I've been to several shops - product I needed has been discontinued!

Anyway good things this week so far include:
*KIT day at work and hopefully will get paid for it this month
*House insurance renewed at £60 less than renewal then £45.45 cashback on TCB
*Surveys, superpoints, swagbucks and shop and scan done
*All meals from meal plan - so far only spent £51 on groceries for July!
*Found a sitter so I can go out for free meal on Saturday (DH at work)

Now to find some cheap petrol - seems to have gone up 2p round here overnight!! :mad:

Quite a good day today;

- Got my walking boots repaired at the cobblers for £4. The sole was coming away and the old me would have thought about having to buy a new pair but now I thought i'd try and see if a cobbler could glue it back which he has. Won't last forever but should be good for another few months at least.

- Stocked up on Poundland teabags (always try and get them for approx 1p per bag)

- Stocked up on a couple of the '7 for £1' birthday cards in Card Factory so good for another couple of years

- £1 and £1.50 surveys from Pureprofile taking me to redemption level so cashed out £25.85.

- Still to do; fill up car at Sainsbury's using Nectar CC and Nectar card for points. (paid off each month, only use it at Sainsbury for food/petrol.)

Just wondering what the deal is with Amex and refunds?

In case anyone is interested Love film are offering up to 15% off if you pay in advance rather than monthly, PLUS a £15 amazon voucher.

We signed up for 10% off 6months in advance so a saving of £6 + £15 amazon voucher - there are 3 or 12 month options too.

Basically, if you have an Amex card and a smartphone, you get the foursquare App, link with your Amex card, check in to specials and go shopping. They refund you the amount. HTH.

Nothing much :money: to report other than doing batch cooking, drying clothes outside in the sun and having a lazy Sunday :-)
