    Today I have been very unMSE. Went to Ikea and bought a new bathroom cabinet and shelf for £55, some saucepans and some more random bits so it came to £90 altogether. Argh! Never mind, will make the flat look nicer should I decide to sell at some point so will just look at it that way!

    On the OP front today I have:
    • Been to A!di and L!dl to stock up on offers so now don't need anything apart from milk and bread for the rest of the week
    • Cashed out another £5 voucher on swagbucks
    • Stuck some more shrapnel into the change jar
    Not much today but as the title says - all the small things!

  • Arancello is like limoncello with spics-nice xmassy sounding drink-got the recipe from BBC good food. At the moment its a jar with lots of orang peel-hopefully it will look as good as the one on the recipe. Also thinking of making chocolate liquer and a couple of others if this one goes well. Just got to track down those bottles.....

    • £1 payment to OP Pot
    • £1 payment to Emergency Fund
    • Need to buy my lunch, will keep it sensible and get Nectar points. The skinflint MFWer in me is gutted that Tesco stopped doing £2.50 meal deals! Sainsbury's sandwiches are considerably nicer for the same price...

    • £1.84 into Op Pot
    • £1.84 into Emergency Fund
    • Increased DD into S&S ISA to £105/mth
    • Popping generic cold medication that has the same ingredients as the leading brand, but cost 1/3 of the price :eek:

    Added another £15 into each of my pots after I 'sold' myself my Nectar points! So That's £30 saved and an Amazon shop for me to look forward to ;)
  • Today was a NSD :j
    £10 GC from VO in a week. This was mainly due to the financial surveys which pay handsomely at £1 or £1.50 per survey.
