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

IHateDida

I hold my head in shame....haven't been on here for a few days which is probably why I have spent far too much money:( (2 new tyres - £160, meal out - £35, £90 at garden centre on pots/plants:eek:). Need to pop on here daily to get the motivation.......:o

So over the past few days....the few things I've done:

• Gone to work:D
• Got £10 off my tyres as they didn't have any in stock so part of promise if not in stock to give me £10 off!
• Uploaded Shopandscan shopping for week, texted in to Food on the Go, uploaded petrolpanel data
• Scanner sitting in cradle for Fact Finders download tonight
• Paid £4 OP to round down joint account
• Paid for all of the expensive things above using point credit cards (and paid off immediately to avoid interest)

Now waiting desperately for payday to pay for all the spending over the past few days.....:( (note to self... *must resist going to a garden centre even if its nice and sunny*!)

Hi,

I hope you don't mind if i join in. I am a MFW however I don't actually have a mortgage! I am trying to save up and buy a house (hopefully outright) but we will see how it goes.

So far today:

-Music magpied a load of Xbox games and DVD's £15.55
-avoided buying anything at a car boot sale this morning
- only went into sainsburys petrol station to get pepsi (my vice) as to be not tempted by anything in the shop I didnt need.
- Put the baby in basics nappies and we are home most of the day and they are good enough for around the house.

Anyone can join in Kerry.

I have been dismal today. We had a wasted car journey to costco as we didn't remember it opened at 11 rather than 10.

I have then filled the slow cooker with veg in a white sauce to be our tea when we got back from visiting my parents, but by the time we got home the white sauce has separated and it looks disgusting, so we can't eat it. I will see if i can salvage any of the veg once it cools. Maybe rinse the sauce off and put in another meal. Doh. I hate wasting food, but then again it is a rarity. We will instead have the emergency pizzas out the freezer.

Can't see me having much time tonight for anything either as i need to do some ironing.

Despite not a massive money saving day it's bee productive in other ways. We've

- sold something in the paper for £5, buyer collected and paid cash
- I bought my Dad a scratchcard so bought us one too, and we had the winning one £10
- Got rid of a large bulky item to the tip without having to hire a van.

Disappointing shopping trip - no smoked paprika, no large pack of redbull - back to shops tomorrow!

Today I've:
* checked my shopping on the mysupermarket website to pick cheapest things from Asda and noted down what I need when I visit the other stores
* walked to asda, aldi and MrT express (to check on reductions)
* attempted to introduce my DM to TCB and mysupermarket
* done my daily greggs entry and my dorset cereals

Hello,

I have washed my car myself and decanted 60 litres of rainwater from the water butt into old lemonade bottles for summer watering. So now the water butt can refill while I accumulate some more bottles.

Not an awful lot today:

1. not much success on any surveys. Only managed 1 x Toluna @ 2400 points - screened out of many more...
2. have put a huge spag bol in the slow cooker which usually makes up to 10 portions
3. DH has been asking all day to put the heating back on, so I suggested he put on a cardigan instead!!
4. stayed in the whole weekend, so no petrol used and a couple of NSDs

Hope everyone has had a great weekend
