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

Evening all -

- Usual packed lunch for work, tea from leftovers
- Clicks, onepolls, £1.40 worth of New Vistas
- Redeemed £4.79 from FatCheese, £2.73 from Thincheese and £2.59 from TCB
- Feeling peckish after tea so rather than nip to the shop for something I have finally opened a big box of maltesers my mum got me at Christmas I was trying to save them til the weekend but tbh I think i've done very well to make them last until March! :rotfl:

God you lot are an inspiration you know!!
erm, what have I done...

Off to work in a bit, once I have entered some comps! currently 123 entered and waiting to close..I want to get it to 200!! although I am now at the stage where I have some closing every day...addicted..me!!
Packed the suitcases
Cleaned the house
One more sleep....god I'm so excited. I've decided any money we dont spend will be split between op's and saving for a new laptop.

I bet this thread will have grown loads when I get back.

Thanks. I normally get the cheapest AA/RAC for about £28 then get the £20-odd cashback for the lowest level cover. I only have the one where if i break down away from home they tow me to a garage. It sounds like these two are the full monty. They obviously are better value than the more expensive AA/RAC cover but I'm after lower cover I think. Thanks for explaining though, worth a look in the future.

Yep - definitely the full monty offerings. If you only drive very locally I think it can work to have the cover you have. As I drive around 50 miles a day for work, plus do drive places which are several hundred miles away to visit family and friends etc, I would not want to be towed to a random garage. I prefer to go home so that I can use the garage I trust, and not be stranded. For example my car broke down last year on the way home from work. Only about 8 miles from home but I would not have wanted to go to a garage 6 miles from home (there is one) and be stuck then with a 6 mile walk in the dark as they could not fix the car that evening.

Have you checked the cashback on providers like green flag? I know they are on quidco so assume they are on TCB too.

Cheers Katsu, I used to be with Green Flag years ago. Will study all the diff policies & work out which is right for me.

I've not had the worlds best money saving day. I am just feeling too ill and sorry for myself.

I did use up a leftover beefburger in a tomato pasta sauce today rather than get some more meat out the freezer.

No onepoll for me today - there was a link to another site to get 50p but it didn't work for me.

I have also spent a fortune at the supermarket, and £10 on new school t shirts for my little one as his looked really old and bobbly.

The only constructive thing is i wrote a DY review for 30p.:o

Never mind. Tomorrow is a new day.

Not a lot done here today as it was a bank holiday and we always spend on those days and we also ended up getting a take away

• Checked quidco and over £5.00 has been received so this should be paid at the end of the month
• Bought DD pair of boots in the sale for £2.00
• Walked into town with the kids in pram saving on diesel
• SIL was round earlier and brought round two small boxes of popcorn chicken for the little ones to try...so this will be a couple of lunches sorted out for them
