    Me too! I get really cross with myself if there is nothing to report or no savings made...I even think during the day 'note to self, something to put on the 'small things' thread!! Glad I am not alone with this obsession :D

    • Won a Greggs BOGOF tea/coffee – not that I will use it – anyone want it?
    • Tol – went from 18k yesterday to 46k today! Very happy
    • Played Tiki – nothing there
    • Made a huge batch of Twinks hobnobs using some of my bargain reduced oats and froze half of mixture.
    • Meant to go to Mr T for milk but DD was under the weather so made up some powdered milk for cereal tomorrow - doesn't taste too bad , I wonder if the lads will notice on their cereal!
    I can't be bothered updating this anymore

    I've started to put mine on a word document so I don't have to remember. Do you think we're obsessed? :)

    Nothing exciting done today:
    • 2nd day in new job
    • DH went to work
    • Both took packed lunches
    • Made tea from stuff in the freezer and cupboards
    • DH won £5 on a scratch card and I am 'saving' it and not cashing it in or it will get spent
    Must try harder so I can add more things tomorrow:o
    Save £10,500 - £2673.77 - 25.5%
    Pay off £7000 - £1743 - 19.4%
    Make £2021 extra income - £99.75

    Yes - but I'm there with you also!:p

    Today being the obsessed being that I am also....

    - Got paid for my exam marking - woohoo:T! Only £14.22 went as an OP though (rounded the amount down) as I begrudge doing it when OH doesn't (and instead moans that I am stressed!) - so rest is sitting in *my* savings account - I'm not that obsessed to share:rotfl:!

    - Paid for parents shopping on Clubcard Plus account - so extra points for me - they paid me by cheque!

    - Went to work!

    - Used nearly mouldy mushrooms instead of chucking out!

    - Bought a tub of Ben & Jerrys - not really MFW-saving - but it was half price and very very nice with my pancakes!!!:rotfl:(and ate it round my parents so texted it in to Shop and scan - so in theory £1.20 back in points!).

    - Just got a Pinecone survey too!

    I'm not at the word doc stage but I can see the attraction :rotfl: Might save me doing more than one post when I do more MS things.

    I made HM bread tonight so I could make DH lunch tomorrow, instead of going out to buy bread. Go me.

    I also have made a list of all the HM low GI bread recipes in my cookery books so I can see what flour is used by which and try different ones to work out which are cheapest!

  • Morning all!
    Another MF *ahem* "obsessive" here :rotfl:

    well- so far in the last couple of days I have...
    picked up some freebies using the vouchers I had... innocent juice and some sweets!
    Free dinner last night at SIL's
    Got some cheap breads/crumpets etc.. which have been wacked straight in the freezer- hoping to come in on £100 shopping budget this month for the first time in ages!!
    Been to work..
    Went to the bank in town to sort out mortgage stuff instead of wandering (and spending! ) aimlessly round the shops which is my usual lunchtime passtime- may also join library nr work so can go and get stuff for free! I find I "comfort shop" a lot in my lunch break...;)
    Thats about it - oh and pack lunches made so far this week all from what we had in already and using up leftovers!
