1. I'm obsessed.
I just checked my online bank account to work out how much money we will have left over at payday to go towards the January overpayment.:T
It's weird how by adding up every penny and pound and allocating it to different budgets I actually feel like our household income has increased.:huh::)
2. I'm going to order Tesco shopping online very early to get a cheap delivery charge.:cool:sillyinthepast wrote: »I have gave up smoking:o. We should have done it a long time ago!

Evening everyone,
I spent today chopping wood for my log burner today so on the plus side I have enough wood to last 2-3 months on the other side every part of me aches. Still it has reduced our heating bill by £70 a month.
I have also done some swag bucks and consumer pulse and a couple of comps. We has jackets instead of a take away and DH also got given a very nice bottle of wine for helping a neighbour so all in all a very MSE dayDebt Free - done
Mortgage Free - done

Hi, have just come back tothe MFW path, having fallen off the wagon a bit....
Not much today, but:
Paid £10 as OP
Made up some meals to freeze for next week and
Turned heating right down and sat by the woodburner, in semi dark!"Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful." William Morris0 -
* made my weekly CP visit and checked out
Their vouchers do build up quickly; I did treat myself to some clothes for christmas and some cosmetics, but I am still delighted to note I am at my second voucher already - fantastic :money:

Am having a CP dilemma at the mo - leave them in and risk CP going bust, or cash them in and risk retailer going bust :cool:. I think I'm going to do what Tilly does (which is always a good mantra) and get Amazon vouchers.
ETA: except you can't get Amazon vouchers, back to the drawing board!

It is difficult isn't it Gally? I feel that the amaz0n vouchers don't save us as much real £ as they get used for treats, but difficult to know when you will want to use X high st store far enough in advance to order offline vouchers.Debt at highest: £8k.

What about asking friends/family if there are any vouchers they want and swapping them with them for cash?
Or you could get them for a shop that you can get early Xmas (or Bday) presents from and then store the item away?
I always have the dilemma about what to have from CP as like you I tend to get Amazon vouchers from elsewhere.
