I love this thread - frittering is my weakness!

Today I have :-

-taken packed lunch to work
-done some surveys on one poll
-worked out how much cash we have to last until the end of the month (£50 excluding groceries and fuel)
-resisted buying can of coke at work even though I was really tired and the caffeine and sugar hit was so tempting!

One survey on one poll (15p!!) - screened out of others
Avoided toll road on way to work
Charged mobile at work
Read some mf diaries for the inspiration (and got major spread sheet envy!)

I'm a newbee MFW. I'm doing 2 things at the moment, these are my things from the last week, I'll get into more frequent postings though.

This week I've upped our dd once again, and paid the increase off for September too.

1. Trying to make savings so we can carry on with the dd overpayment we've just set up.
- I've reported 2 faulty things back to one clothing online retailer & been refunded, and sent them 4 things I bought but haven't worn and been refunded.
- another retailer I've had 2 faulty things so they've been sent back for investigation and 2 things I bought but don't fit/aren't what I expected - so they'll be some money back from them too.
- Went to a friend's for tea last night, OH is away with work so food bill is small this week.
- I'm TillyTidying like a good'un.

Then I'm busy selling stuff and doing surveys etc, the money from this will go towards buying new furniture/work on the house so we don't need to find that from elsewhere.

I've reignited my One Poll account and got £1.20 so far this week
Got a pile of stuff ready to try and sell, will get that photographed and listed places tomorrow.

Am currently watching Shrek with a coughing Small! Poor thing, she is at least not coughing if sat up. I need to have a snooze now though as up for work in 3 hours. :eek:

Should be calling bank tomorrow (assuming I can string a sentence together on not much sleep!) to make an overpayment

We're just having lunch at home before heading to the shops to get Small's feet measured. We really wanted to go for a roast at the pub so feeling quite proud of ourselves!

Changed my energy supplier, should save about £140 this year on last year.
40p roadkill (from a vender at work)
20p from One Poll
Sending back a cardigan which is the wrong colour from the website, I really like it but it won't work for wedding it was bought for so it's going back

An odd one, in that I didn't save money short term, but I bought a ton of loo roll on special offer and kitchen wipes. Not needed immediately but will be used long term! So a small money saving thing.
