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

Giraff

Ive turned the heating off! Not touching it until november lol. Also im going to switch my bank account later to santander (i know i know! £100 too good to turn down). Might fix the bike ready for when the clocks change so i can cycle to work.

It would need to be more than £100 to tempt me Giraff. Have you read some of the horror stories on the budgeting & banking board ?

Iris_Blue

Santander have been great for me. I've been with them a year and no problems whatsoever. I got the £100 payout quite soon too. Think there's horror stories whatever bank you choose tbh. I'm going to go with FD when I've applied for the next mortgage

Mummalove - Thank you. I got my £3 referral fee credited to Funky pigeon. I'll choose something again later now!


So far...

• Pegged washing out
• 1 x NVL through TCB 73p survey
• HM Tandorri chicken and HM apple crumble made with store cupboard supplies

Giraff

Yeah ive read the horror stories but im goin into the branch to
Switch which seems to cause less problems. And it 5% on balances which aint bad.

* Dinner at Mum's Monday and ate out of Freezer Tues, Weds and tonight

* Caught up on favourite progs on iplayer on work-charged-laptop

* Checked Halifax Clarity Card balance - at £303 so stopped spending on that now I've earned the next reward and switched my spending to a points earning Credit Card until next statement period

*MPG OCD

* Bought a book for Mothers Day using an old giftcard that was still in date

* Used the 50% off code for the Body Shop (SPRING50) and got a total of 60% off with loyalty card and also earned 12% cashback which has tracked - spent A LOT but saved even more and now have stock of foundation and moisturiser for ages. I didn't buy any 'Treats'. Oh and I paid for it on Tesco Credit Card - so clubcard points earned too

* Free Lunch at work

* Charged Mobile at work

* Showering this week (Which I HATE) rather than bathing to save putting the gas on

* Sorted out 2 bags of stuff for Charity Shop - not exactly MFW but that and the programme of spring cleaning I'm doing makes me feel more saintly :A

* Found out am getting a little bonus from work - worked out how much I could use as an OP on 1st and how much needed to go into Instant savings to boost flagging balance

Iris_Blue

More from me :

*OH reached £40 on onepoll ! :j
* referred again on funky pigeon and got another free £3 and used 50% off code and "bought" 2x £2.99 b/day cards -I op'd the original amount of the cards £5.98 as I would have bought them anyway.I've not spent any money on any cards yet from here! brill! soooo if anyone wants a referral
*Tol - now 8k off 80k payout
* Forgot to give DH the works collection money that I also forgot 2 days ago! :rotfl: see I AM stringing this one out!
* NSD - only because DH "forgot" about that money!

Curly girl! What a day and what savings. Really encouraging to see how well you've done
I've had another no spend day - yippee.

Am sooo tired . Today we have:
* had our remortgage go through, instantly saving £200pm in interest
* called old mortgage company immediately and confirmed over £1100 to come back to us in next 10 days
* worked hard at work
* charged phone at work
* sorted through DD's toys and have some to sell (most are for charity shop though). Most importantly her room is tidy and clean again .
* hm soup for lunch, although not sure what's happening for dinner and I want chips!
* have mr t delivery about to come (have family tomorrow and need to be ready to entertain). Decided to tick the deliver with no bags option to earn a few extra points - although we have ordered £68 worth, may regret that decision :rotfl:!
* er, that's it!
