All the small things - tell me what you have done to be MF today

MallyGirl

Have changed energy tariff with the same supplier for a significant saving.
Bought blue roll for cleaning up puppy accidents from the bay - way cheaper than kitchen roll.
Have been eating from cupboard/freezer more with fresh fruit and veg top ups.
I have been unsubscribing from lots of email lists so that I am not tempted by offers arriving - I just can't stop myself clicking through to take a look.
I have started ordering Friday night curry via T$B just eat so we get 3% back as we would be doing it anyway.
DD has needed a few school uniform items so ordered them from M&S via T$B to be delivered to local food store so that I don't have to go to town and pay for parking or get sucked into buying other stuff.

My heating is still off too! How long can we last!!?


Is your mortgage cashback because you have a santander mortgage and a 123 account?

Made a big pot of soup instead of buying some, it should hopefully last the week for my lunches. Sweet potato and coconut - yum!

Put the coppers I found on the floor in my mortgage pig

Priced up a load of stuff for hopefully selling at a Nearly new sale

Dried 3 loads of washing on the line

got some clothes from the attic outgrown by DS1 and now they're in DS2's wardrobe

Put an item of clothing I no longer wear and which isn't ebay-able ready in the garage for the next time I go to cash for clothes (I still donate stuff to the local charity shop, just not my clothes nowadays)
