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!

Ah, hun - the point is that you have it in mind and you are trying to do something. Your heart is definitely where it should be.

With DY, i have a target in mind of at least £25 per month, making £300 from there this year. If i want to cash out this time by the end of the month i need to add £1.58 per day between now and the 31st, whether this is rates or writing new stuff.

Remember as well i don't work, so i do get some chance to nip on during the day, and i am probably a bit less tired than those who work. I also have a great DH who took the eldest out for ages over the weekend into the garden so the littlie sat watching telly and i got on with jobs and reviews. Actual reviews i am now up to 58 written in 2011 which is less than one per day, so it is achievable.

hmm less than one per day.. Sheesh 2011 is zooming past! It still feels like january to me! I just need to think of things to write about!
In the vein of this thread, today I have arranged a lift rather than driving and I've copied a review over onto ciao (but it is only 8am so I don't think I'm doing too badly!)

• Obsessively stalking ebay to see if i have any more bids...BTW i dont :rotfl::rotfl:...is it just me who does this?

I'll match you, and raise you looking at the counter so see how many people have looked at it. Plus trying to work out if watchers are actually interested, or trying to see how much their free Cath Kidson tote bag free with Easy Living will go for

* Put 50p in penguin pot.
* Brought LO's for lunch (even though its my Subway Day - its so hard to resist, but I know I should waste the LO's).
* Prepared tonights dinner this morning and put in SC for DH to switch on later - used up loads of bits and pieces of veg from the fridge that might otherwise go to waste.

To do:

Morning all :wave:

One poll is still being a beast this morning...wish they would sort it out!

Today I have or will:

- Used up half can of mushy peas in the fridge for breakfast. I had them on toast and they were yum...hubby wasn't convinced and made do with cereal.:rotfl:
- Back to work today and back earning.
- Returning a book to Amazon for refund.
- Posting DVD player I sold on Ebay.
- Getting the bus to work rather than using the car.
- Two 30 minute dog walks (free exercise).
- Having a shower instead of a bath...love my baths but I am limiting them to one every other day and showering instead.
- Checked banking.
- Checked Freecycle.
- Used old shampoo (that made my head uber itchy) to clean the bath.
- Water plants & veggies.
- Turned heating off as it is so mild today.

Will amend later if I doing anything else MFW friendly.

Hope you all have a great Wednesday.

Love Bams x

Is this the free Peppa Pig knitting pattern Ayeshalush? http://www.goodtoknow.co.uk/family/515452/peppa-pig-knitting-pattern

Thanks for posting, think my niece would love that. Will tell my mum, she might be able to knit it for her for Xmas.

That's the one! I have a new little neice so she'll be getting one for xmas! (It'll probably take that long for me to finish it as I get bored very quickly with knitting!!)

OMG you are such a hard-core MFW!!


Today I am

• using the bullet point button instead of manually inputting * as I usually do in honour of the great Gallygirl
• Charging phone at work
• Self invite to Mum's for dinner
• Heating off (well actually am having new boiler installed so it has be off anyhow for the next 24 hours but If I have to suffer it I may as well damn claim it)
• Shower tonight rather than bath
• NSD (I'll pay for the boiler tomorrow)
• Reviewed my utilities on comparison websites last night - my tariff ends in May so I need to be on the look out
• MPG OCD
• Checked bank to see if I've been paid yet.......nope. Mortgage OP has now hit mortgage so updated my spreadsheet with new balance
• Did YouGov survey yesterday 50 points
• Listening to the Budget live (gosh I'm sad)

And that's it. I know I really should be making bread and doing soups and knitting knits......but really there's only little ole me in the house and I don't eat that much bread........so I sometimes feel a little pathetic compared to y'all (that's southern drawl as I've had a southern fried marinated chicken thingy for my lunch) but I do love this thread as it does remind me to try and live in a MFW way / gives me ideas
