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

Got a great deal on PG tips teabags in Iceland - 240 for £3! (packs are 50% extra free and a good price - extra happy Katsu :money:

Bought some white vinegar (£2.20 for 5l!) and stir-fry veggies from the Chinese supermarket. Tasty tea and cheap laundry softener/cleaner - unless I get both mixed up.

Scanned in shopping on my return and laundry out on the line.

I don't usually post i'm more of a lurker but here goes....

I've just upgraded my mobile phone and my new contract is £7 a month cheaper, i also checked out the phone recycling sites and i can get at least £42 for my old phone.

Did some bulk buying today so i shouldn't need to buy rice, pasta or raisins for the rest of the year (almost halved the price per kilo i was paying)

redecorating my room using paint i've got left over from other projects so a new look for free

planning meals and taking lunch to work is really helping my grocery budget too

doesn't seem much when i put it down in black and white but i feel i'm making a difference to my bank balance

Hi All
Today its only 5.00 GBP on Swag Buckx, it took soooo long to reach pay out. I will be glad when i am wealthy enough not to have to bother with SB....Can`t see it happening any time soon..LOL

Popped out to the shops:
* got some fairtrade tea bags for 99p instead of £3.99 as they were best before the end of last month. How much difference can it make?
* parked in free parking and walked a bit further to and from shops - so free exercise too
* scanned my shopping in
* referred a friend to VO & IPSOS

Today I ....

Had a batch cook of lasagne for tea, one portion each and another 6 portions for the freezer! -phew- it was a big lasagne!

Made cupcakes for a friends birthday tomoro- a cheap but always enjoyed present. Although this time the bottom half seems to be crumbling off the cakes- any bakers out there know what might have made this happen??

Almost a nsd but ran out of lasagne sheets- only 39p for basics pack tho

Sorted out a few bits for fleabay, not put them on yet tho

Also cleaned out oven...not sure how that's mse but I feel it was an achievement worth mentioning!

Enjoy your evening xx

At the weekend I:
* used up some veg as it was on the turn - then dropped it everywhere but the thought was MSE!
* Did some more house clearing ready for the lodger to arrive
* resisted spending money in the CS

At the weekend I baked:

HM quiche (pastry and everything) to eek out the food until shopping day
HM apple and cinnamon muffins (apple past their best)
HM cheese scones for lunch

And today I used a £5 voucher for my local independent cook shop that I've had for yonks and got some more muffin cases and a new pink spatula!!!

I'm also booked in for some overtime at work on Friday.
