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

cha97michelle

I'm having a bit of a dooyoo push today as i want to aim for another cheque from them.

Summerday - good money saving sorting your wardrobe, as you will not waste money buying new stuff now you know what you have. I try to be organised but rarely manage for long. You could post a piccie of your frame on here if you want to show us. Load it to a host site, like facebook, or photobucket. At the top of the box you type in when posting there is an insert image link (looks like mountains on a yellow background.) It opens up a box that you add the hyperlink to your picture. If i add one from FB, i then click on the image in the post before posting, and remove the hyperlink by clicking on the icon at the top that looks like a chain with a red cross through it.(People can't then look at your FB account. )

If my instructions make sense it would be nice to see it.

I love this thread!

Yesterday:

Washing on line to dry

HM meals including Sat night curry (Keema Matar - lamb with peas) with rice, chutney and naans

Listed a load of old CDs on Music Magpie - only 30p each, but I never listen to them any more, and that will be £6 something I wouldn't have, and less clutter :T

Listed 2 DVDs on ebay, not sure if they will sell, but it is free listing this weekend.

Took a large bag of decluttered clothes to charity shop (not MFW, but decluttering in preparation for moving later this year )

Today:

Washing on line to dry

New herbs from garden centre using gift token I have had in my bag for ages. Also managed to pick up a cardboard box just the right size for posting DGD's birthday present from the stack left for customers to take.

Sowed some tomato seeds and cut and come again lettuce.

Potted up new herbs in large containers on patio and got rid of old, dead plants. Also repotted those old ones that had survived the winter.

HM meals again - pot roast pheasant (from freezer) and apple crumble tonight :T

Today:

Only bought at the supermarket what was needed according to our meal plan for the week. As a bonus, a lot of the things we needed were also on special :rotfl:

Yesterday:

Ordered oil filter, air filter etc to service my car. In itself this is money saving, but I also used topcashback to get money back from Halfords and used my Nectar credit card to get nectar points (which I will pay off in full)!!

Haven't been updating for a couple of days, but here goes:

• some fantastic Toluna surveys especially today - did 3 for 17k points..hope they hurry up and add them. Only 20p on OP
• I am doing a blog on another site which will earn £5
• signed up for a couple of test products
• bloke at work brought in a load of cosmetics / lotions he is selling on behalf of his work's company - I didn't buy any, but got a handful of trial sample sachets
• Mr T shopping on Friday had nearly £17 in BOGOFs and I used £7.50 in coupons I collected. I have tried the Tesco / Asda pricechecker thing, but never seem to do so well with these. I should read up more on the forum on here to get some tips
• all washing done at 30 degrees

Today for me:

* a few quick toluna polls and registered to test a product
* drove to MrA for cheapest petrol on way back from beautician
* made lunchbox jellies this morning whilst making brekkie and will make sarnie fillings whilst making dinner and baking a loaf this evening
* did asda price check on recent small shop but it said they were cheaper - as I only buy a few things I want at a time, I don't think I'm using this to it's full benefit
* did a waitrose and asda survey as printed on my receipt, for chance to win vouchers
* sorted out my weekly RM postings
* finally made a recipe using spring greens that were best before 3 March

Today and yesterday:
* Sowed lettuce seeds in a tray for lovely salads
* Planted up some mint
* Cooked turkey that I bought at xmas and never cooked - I'm hoping this will feed me and DH for quite a while
* Gave old glasses to oxfam - glad to declutter and give something to someone who needs it

Hopefully will save lots of money on work lunches this week by having turkey sandwiches

I would have had a NSD, except that I added some items to an internet grocery order that is being delivered tomorrow. Not sure if it counts or not!!

The gentleman who fell of the ladder on Tuesday paid me a visit to let me know he is OK, and he also took me for a drink at the pub, which was nice of him. I am so relieved he is still alive and kicking!

I tidied up the garden and put lots of stuff in my new garage. Hooray!!!!!

We're still getting frosts here, so I decided not to plant any seeds yet. I did plant out some pots that I had overwintered, so hopefully they will survive and be happy.

Not really money saving, but it's been a productive day.

Seems to be trend with the seeding today I have also done lettuce and a bit of peas under covers. Also done 4 bags with potatoes used my own ones I grew from last year that I chitted. Hope they turn out OK.

Decluttered a lot as we had to clear the loft to get the insulation done (Government pays 80% so wanted to get in before that gets scrapped.)

16 items on Ebay not doing so well a silk skirt just sold for £4.99 rpr £85 I paid £25 and never wore it. Waste of money that was.

Cooked inlaws and us Sunday lunch instead of going out for Sunday lunch and they all enjoyed it. Used apples from our own trees (frozen) and blackberries from the golf course.

Got brand new Blackberry Torch and HP Laptop from work so saves me having to buy anything like that for quite a while. My company always go for top stuff which is great. Also paid for us to have a night out all expenses paid last Friday incl hotel and breakfast the next day.
