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

Bambywamby

As today has been a day off work, I have been quite pro-active on the old MFW front and I have:

* Done One Poll surveys taking me upto £35.10 (However the site is still being a pain in the btm.)
* Sold a DVD player on Ebay for £140 and the buyer has already paid woop woop!
* Checked online banking.
* Not spent a penny.
* Drank four pints of water instead of fruit juice.
* Continued with reading for Uni.
* Put a book on Amazon.
* Won £35 on Bingo :T
* Checked Freecycle (I am p.g and I am keeping my eyes peeled for baby things.)
* Turned heating down from 18 to 16. It has been so lovely and sunny here for a few days I am convinced Spring is now here to stay.
* Chased up £42 commission from my catalogue (which is now paid up and about to be dumped forever and ever.)
* Applied for a free bottle of shampoo.
* Planted some potatoes and cress.
* Mopped the floors with soapy water left over from lunch pots.
* O/P mortgage by £20 - Put £20 into savings acc.
* Dried two lots of washing on the line.
* Made a black banana and honey loaf with chick pea flour and it is rather nice (I thought it may turn out yakky.)
* Put putrid compost water on spring hanging baskets.

And that is about it...now for EastEnders, bath and bed early.

Hope you had a great day folks. x x

I'm all excited - today (and yesterdy, joint effort) I have:

• Re negotiated my broadband by threatnening to leave, saving me £67.38 over the next 12 months:j
• Lowered my mobile package, saving me £120 over the next 12 months, next month I can lower it again saving another £60:j
• Chased up hubbys missing cashback claim from TCB
• Made dinner in the slow cooker again, avoiding any takeaway temptation!
• Found £11.99 in my paypal account that I had forgotten about - requested it!

Well today's offerings are as follows:

• Received a £51.26 DTD voucher from Tescos - this is currently my new obsession and my first voucher of many I hope ooo the excitement is taking over my life!! :rotfl:
• Toluna added over 15k of points owed...trouble is they must owe me at least another 50k...takes soooo long to get it back
• haven't tried onepoll as yet, on my to do list
• DH brought home a lovely chicken pasta salad and fresh fruit salad that he gets free with his lunch allowance at work
• dinner from the freezer, gonna be a week of freezer meals as I am determined to run them down a bit!
• heating off all day, loving the warmer weather

Spring is obviously putting a rocket up some of you. Wow. So much achieved today.

Thanks for the link to the peppa pig knitting pattern. That would be great for my little niece. :money: I'm always on the lookout for knitting patterns.

Today has been ok.

• Got a crown on DY - so £1.50, so ahead of target currently for end of month payout.
• won full house on bingo and 2 lines, worth about 80p but we do keep saying it all helps. Still playing now, so might be even more later.
• ipsos - 150point survey
• tried and tried on Op but really can't do anything there today. And for the 30p of surveys on there, i really can't be bothered now.
• Had about 5000 points added to t0luna acct. Now at 55,000 towards 80,000 for a voucher.
• been asked by someone on DY to refer them to o.poll.
• been investigating why my zopa account has so much money just sat there earning nothing. Need to log on now and see if i can alter whatever the customer services reckon is the cause before getting back to them.

Lol at gally not noticing bullets and numbers. How did you think other people did them?

Hi everyone :wave:

My day has gone like this:

• Day 2 of new job and on training course. Good news is that it's where DH works so we went together and I'll be able to reclaim on expenses (it's a 65 mile round trip so that will definitely help)
• Got provided free lunch and (vast quantities) of Diet Coke on above mentioned training course
• Got a crown on Dooyoo for my review of my Disneyland Paris Hotel :j

On the same training course again all day tomorrow, so that's another free lunch and I think I'll try and stick to the free water and pressed apple juice tomorrow before my Diet Coke addiction worsens.

Today I have:

• driven DS to school saving bus fare
• made DS take a packed lunch so a 'no spend of mum's money day' :rotfl:
• didn't drive DH to work like I promised I would
• told the very persuasive bloke who came round asking to cut the tree down in the front garden to do one (actually I've told him to come back Friday when DH has a day off work) (we're gonna go out :rotfl:)
• FINALLY worked out how to make nice hm hummous - and the baby loves it too :T
• heating off until baby's bathtime - he's skinny and gets cold really quickly
• moved money around accounts to get free Halifax £5

now gonna continue knitting baby's tank top, meaning I won't have to buy one :T

I love this thread so much you are all super motivational! I am going to see how onepoll is for me, hope it's ok!!
I'm not in the strictest terms MFW because I don't have a mortgage yet, but I am wanting to have the smallest one possible (aka the biggest deposit!) when I do get one!!
I had a v. spendy weekend though so I can't really post anything good! I am trying to get something onto Dy though - Michelle I'm amazed at how many reviews you've done in such short a time and that you're on target for another cheque!
