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

rlc22

Today I...

• Went to work. This is unusual as I don't work on Fridays, but I did it to build up some of the hours I will be owed when I leave next week... They will owe me 4 days which I will be paid and all will go into the mortgage account

and that was about it... I was so busy that I didn't even logon to Onepoll! So that's what I'm off to do now...

Still having huge withdrawal pangs from dooyoo. I wish the server would work again. I get out the habit so quickly.

Anyways,

• bought cheap Easter eggs for £1 each at Mr T - will have to put them somewhere where no-one will want to eat them before then.
• done 40p today on onepoll. Not great this close to pay out.
• played bingo.
• sent shop and scan data. - earned £1.10
• loads of opinions on tol got credited so i got 1800 points. Still got 8 surveys to be added to so my 26,000 should soon look even healthier.

Oh the guilt of not having enough time to post on here the past couple of days!

• Been having a fab few days on toluna lately, tonight the first 3 surveys were all 'biggies' and gave me 12,000 points. Bit slower on onepoll, only 30p today but every little bit helps
• got an email from WHS Head Office - we had £20 worth of gift card vouchers which expired in December 2010. I emailed to see if they could do anything, and 2 days later the reply was that they would post a new gift card - excellent service :T
• another DH free lunch from his work meal allowance, that I benefit from!!!
• Mr T this morning and although spent £48, had £13 of savings listed
• A generous company dropped off a huge box of mixed biscuits at my works yesterday - honestly there were around 6 different varieties in packs of three. YUM. I am guessing there must have been approx 200 packets in there. We split them all between us (3 staff in our office) - fantastic and ideal for DS lunches and constant feeding at home!! :rotfl:Let's hope they last for some time...but knowing my son...they will probably be history very soon :eek:
• Has anyone else been doing the Greggs bakers breakfast hunt? OMG, this is brilliant...over the past few days I have got several BOGOF vouchers - and now can get BOGOF tea or coffee, BOGOF croissaint or pain au chocolat and BOGOF bacon or chocolate roll. So guess where we are going in the morning And guess who's diet shall be suspended tomorrow?

Need to try and find some more time over the wkend to catch up with the diaries...oops, I mean catch up with the housework...tough call?!!!

Mumma love your post just reminded me i have £20 worth of gift vouchers sat in my bappy bag for WHS, luckily still in date. Must go and buy something with them.

Also, thanks for the PM. Just replied to you.

I forgot to add one. Bumped into one of my sisters while shopping at the big Mr T. Must have saved a fortune as if i ever ring to chat to her i spend at least an hour on the phone, so money saving. Caught up on all the family news so no need to ring anyone now.

For yesterday (always a day late!!):

• Walked to post office instead of taking car to post parcel
• lots of toluna surveys, a few onepoll ans a VO
• received Mr T gift card from VO and was spent within 2 hours
• Big shop at Mr T - just over £85 :eek: - but over £20 in toiletries included and should have enough for 3 weeks worth of teas. Only £80 left in shooping budget for this month though
• Washing out on line
• Beautiful afternoon so spent an hour in park with DS
• Collecting extra Nectar points through Nectar search thing

So far today:

• Washing on at quick 30 and will hang out shortly
• Reduced chicken in oven - should do 3/4 teas and some lunches
• Should be fairly low spend for the rest of the weekend:)

Have a good weekend everyone

Not being a good MFW this weekend. DH just spent £6995 on a car. Although, i am feeling pleased that we got that in our savings account so not having to take on any credit to do that. That has to be something at least.

Anyway, its only money.

My efforts don't do a lot to negate it:

• took library books back to avoid fine - walked there and back
• got DH to combine all the errands - get DS new school trousers, get me some discounted soap powder from costco, take my slow leaking tyre to be looked at, and test drive/buy the car.

I'm not allowed to spend anything now. :rotfl:

Today I have done/will do:

* went to the CS to buy a baby ball of wool (about 1/2 of a small ball) and pair of knitting needles - 60p so far cheaper than the shops.
* RM daily data entry/posting and weekly return
* a trip to the other CS with some clear out clutter to make more space in the house.
* renew library books and get password for internet re-issued (like Michelle will avoid fines and also avoid book spends)
* did my greggs comp - got another bogof croissant/pain au choc - I want some cash for bread instead!
* tried to do the innocent juice comp but forgot my password
* did my dorset cereals comp - never won yet but someday a prize from them will be mine

We got a £10 off a Sainsburys voucher, which we will use on our next order with them - We've been told by MOM's friend that if you do 3 or 4 weeks with Tesco then switch to Sainsburys, you soon get vouchers from them trying to tempt you back - we'll certainly give it a go...
We've done a huge shop today, full of stuff to freeze, e.g. meats which will keep us going for a few weeks; We've made a huge soup for the week ahead (a good 3 meals I would say), and have planned ahead to try to ensure we have a week of NSD's if at all possible- that 'll do wonders to help me become mortgage free if I can have 6/7 days a wek being mortgage free !
Oh, I sold some old computer bits to a friend, got some money, (I was giving it away) so £20 is better than nothing...

Today I:

• Received my third Toluna voucher for £15 Debenhams
• Did couple of VO surveys for £2
• Went to Greggs and our BOGOF bacon roll and BOGOF pain au chocolat - I'm going to go back on the site and try for more and like katsu also am hoping for the £50 vouchers
• send off for the innocent veg pot voucher (or poss freebie) - getting a postal voucher rather than using my ink and paper

Thanks cha97michelle for the PM and great news on the new car . You also reminded me about my library books too - went to renew them online and :mad: overdue 22p fine. Drat. Won't be able to get there until next Saturday now and 2 of the 3 books cannot be renewed as someone as requested then.
