Today I have
- posted three ebay parcels
- made £11.60 by selling on local paper
- line dried some washing
- used up some limp veg by bulk cooking a load of mince and veg to freeze in portions.
- cooked some beetroot before it went off0 -
Today I:
- Received my expenses from work, so paid them straight into the mortgage - that's £38.92 extra paid off now
- Earned 25p on Onepoll
- Saw that we finally had a refund from a camera that we returned a few weeks ago. That reduces our credit card bill by about £100 so that means we should be in for a good month spend-wise.
- Had dinner delivered by my mum as she made a huge casserole! Combining that with leftover mash from last night for a yummy dinner

I reckon this thread will get us all to start sitting in darkened rooms with blankets over ourselves soon!!!:D But I know what you mean about the TV - my OH has it as "background music" - it was on for several hours yesterday whilst he was doing something else until I turned it off muttering something about the electricity bill/mortgage saving.0 - Sat here on my own tonight as OH working so I've turned the T.V off and put a blanket over me.

Today so far:
* cycled to job centre and back, saving parking/travel costs (but was then so hungry I bought a pastieto eat before cycling home... and a drink. Will take a lunchbox to the next appt!)
* arranged for my interview in London to not be in the morning so I can travel off-peak, saving some money
* got only the cheese I needed in Mr S and some tom. puree and resisted other goods.
* rated someone on dooyoo
* got screened out on Tol several times so voted on polls instead - mostly other people's ones and created a new opinion and poll.
* got my parents to register for the free OWL meter offer on grabbit to help them reduce their consumption (when DH and I visit them we spend all our time turning lights off in empty rooms, TV off etc etc)
* made dinner from stores rather than popping out for more ingredients (should have taken list to town)Debt at highest: £8k. Debt Free 31/12/2009. Original MFD May 2036, MF Dec 2018.0
