  • Mornin all...
    managed a good day yesterday
    £5 profit for a dvd ....(tho promptly spent on food budget! but good deals on fruit/veg from market!)
    £10 voucher for returning something thatll go in the pressie fund or to mrtyo for a shopping spree! :rotfl:
    getaway number 1 booked for may - just a couple of nights but at a fab deal ! (okay thats not MF but the bargain deal part is!)
    packed lunches for both of us all week
    we have both been to work!
    heating now turned off in one room and on timer in the other..
    meal planned and food from stores/freezer for rest of week and as long as we can last!

    thats about it- officially nothing else to sell/declutter in my house so am going to have to be creative with my MF-ness now!

    Today...
    • Surveys and clicks to do
    • 'Cash for Clothes' collection coming later, I've decluttered the wardrobes. It's 40p per kilogram. I haven't got any scales so I don't know how much that will be.

    Today...
    £1.60 from Quidco in the bank.
    £89 cashback from Egg card, looks like this is being scrapped though so may be the last payout.
    Home made lunch as usual
    Left my wallet at home on purpose so reckless spending!
    £10 from Amazon selling should be transferred any day now so made a mini £10 payment off the mortgage.
  • I have saved £48 as abandoned my basket on bodyshop grabbit. I really want to save and be mortgage free

    - received the rent from my flat £480
    - received £42.50 from quidco
    - been to work
    - took packed lunch today, yesterday bought a meal deal from asda for £3 rather than the £3 just for a sandwich in my work canteen.
    - received £13.60 child tax credit payment
    - had the slow cooker on, sausage casserole.
