    - Used vouchers for shopping at Mr.T, although used one from the Tesco mag which I thought they donated £1 to charity for, when infact it added £1 donation to my bill.

    - Meal planned for next week and stuck to shopping list

    - Washing done on reduced spin and out on line to dry

    Sold a book on GreenMetropolis, will post it in the morning.

    Probably only a couple of £ after postage, but I'm keeping costs down by using doubled over manilla envelopes from the pound shop (as opposed to padded) and dropping them off on my way to work (so that I don't need to make a specific trip to the Post Office).

    Every little helps - have a productive day all :)

    We always used to do our weekly shop at Asda but for the last 3 weeks we have gone Aldi, eac time we have saved around £30 a shop. That £30 each week goes in the O pot :-)

    - Made all meals from food already in the house
    - Had a NSD
    - Made cous cous for me and OH to have for lunch tomorrow
    - Hit my daily target on swagbucks
    - Sorted a pile of stuff to be ebayed when free listing weekend is on
    - Ordered some Xmas presents for people from The Book People using a 10% dicount code and managed to resist ordering a tonne of books for myself
