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

SeriouslySeekingtoSave

In the last few days I have saved money by having NSD's; made my lunch each day and firmly said no to the little voice that wanted fish and chips. I'm not having all my good gym work going to waste!

I also picked up my super cheap £1.24 combo deal of toaster/kettle/food processor and toasted my muffin instead of having to turn the grill on.

I have also kept the heating off for the last couple of nights which was a real test if will!

A few things today:

• DH sold his protein powder stuff for a tenner
• ate the Wham bar DH got free at work yesterday - nearly pulled my teeth out but mmmmm it was nice
• stuck to the meal plan and reduced the amount of quorn I used in the curry
• bought 2 big bags of f&V from the market for £6.50
• spent much less than usual on my weekly shop even including the extra bits I got to pad out DH packed lunches as he is complaining of been starved;)
• my first months nursery fees are £76 less than I had budgeted for:)
• haven't turned the heating on yet today
• received some £7 off £70 vouchers from Mr T. May use one to stock up at the beginning of April but the rest are too high for me to use

Evening all.

Well i am just starting really on my money making for the day now the kids are asleep.

Today i have:

• posted an amazon sale and requested payment of £4.40.
• Done one toluna survey so far. Points for one of the ones done yesterday have validated, so now at about 23,000 with 5 surveys to validate
• used £3 luncheon vouchers towards shopping. Only got a few bit so spent £9.60 in total. Will supplement this fresh stuff with things we have in.
• onepoll was great today. I managed £1.05, taking me up to £35.95. Payout is getting closer.
• playing bingo as we speak.
• arranged for DHs expenses on CC to be paid. Less than i thought as some payments hadn't gone through, so i can continue stoozing the extra £200 in our savings until the bill comes in.
• made more bread from our supplies in the cupboard rather than being lazy and just buying more.
• Didn't get blagged by DS2 into buying horrid processed expensive cheese and a magazine. We have cheese and magazines at home.

I am missing Dooyoo now it is not working. I really hope they get sorted soon as it is preventing me earning. :rotfl:

Oh dear, done nothing MSE except pick up 3p from the playground...... Must try harder...

Not a great day for me...

• 35p from OnePoll
• Transferred my Halifax £5 plus a random £3 that was left in the account into my FD mortgage account
• Obsessively checked Quidco all day, but none of my payments have been received yet. Not impressed as most of them are from last year!
• got a takeaway pizza for dinner

On a much more positive note, saw that a house down the road (same as mine) is on the market for £20k more than I think ours is worth and IMHO isn't even as good as ours... The market is still really buoyant round here so fingers crossed it sells quickly and for as much as possible. The only problem with living in an area where things sell quickly is that the step up for us to get something better is too huge a gulf at the moment, hence trying to OP on the mortgage to get the next house within reach.

Michelle - I'm lost without dooyoo too, and my obsession has only just begun...

what has happened to dooyoo? I thought I was having problems connecting to it, didn't realise it was more widespread.

I've got my great uncle's old printer working tonight so I could print out some money-off coupons for innocent OJ - then got horrified it is in colour and fiddled with the printer settings to use less ink :rotfl:

Today....

• Received £86 in cashback from credit card so have paid this off the mortgage
• Returned duplicate present and used the money to top up the groceries
• Received £3.80 from quidco...just need to wait for it to be paid into the bank and i will put it towards another o/p
• Have a few more watchers on ebay items...not technically moneysaving but will hopefully create a bidding war and increase the sale price :rotfl:

Today....

- Went to work!!!
- I paid £35 cashback from Atlantic Elec to the mortgage
- Used AMEX card to buy supermarket food so gained points but paid off the amount with the joint account (so not really my money!):D

p.s. I will second Danni-R about speakyfoureyes - my OH got some glasses from there for £17 about a month ago and they are an absolute bargain and fit really well!
