Hi Thrifty, small things are what help give us all foundation steps towards being MF - you keep on going

trimmed my weekly grocery spend from 130 to 85, cook from scratch, stopped using my dryer, pass clothes down from one child to another, take picnics for days out. x

Things I did today:

• Spent cash only at Lidl (avoiding big supermarket) and stuck to list.#
• All meals from stores.
• Listed items on ebay FLW
• Turned off lights when not in room.

This weekend;

We made a raised bed for the garden using wood from the timber yard, cheaper than diy shops and made to measure. Free veg seeds from someone at work

Top up shop at Aldi, should keep us going for 2 weeks, by which time hopefully the Daily Mirror will have another £5 voucher

Received a letter from Amex kindly telling me that theyre introducing a £25 yearly fee on my Nectar credit card so I rang and switched to a fee free one (so I can keep it spare for foursquare offers) and am going to apply for a n Amazon Credit Card as points can be redeemed for vouchers. (Am hoping to but OH a tablet next Xmas using Amazon vouchers.)

Meal out on Friday using a Groupon voucher, £18 total for 2 x starters and 2 x mains in a really nice restaurant. (We make a point of going for a nice meal, cinema, comedy night once a month as a treat.)

Halifax websaver matured, a whole £27 interest plus the balance switched to another one as the rate dropped to 0.1.

Extra £20 lying in current account so OP'd.

£2 coin from Aldi change into terramundi which is almost full, cant wait to smash it open. I reckon theres at least £750 in it, all £2 coins

Bought some presents for birthdays/xmas in CS/Ebay to spread the cost.

I did my consumer pulse too today and made "chips" for tea instead of hitting the chippy. Just sliced a potato thinly, sprayed it with frylight and sprinkled it with too much paprika before oven baking - was a bit powdery but soaked it in baked beans to improve the taste.

Today's small things will be:

• Washing at low temperature, drying on airers
• Dishes washed & dried by hand
• All food from stores
• Cheese grated, onions fried and both frozen ready for future homemade pizzas, quiches, etc
• Walk to the local post office
• Catch up on favourite Netflix programmes - our one luxury (used to be Freeview) aren't we decadent :rotfl:
