    This was on the 2nd page so I couldn't leave it there!:D

    I haven't posted for a week but have read a few for inspiration as I fell off the MFW rails a little in the past week :o but have done a few things in the past couple of days....

    - Picked up 1p off the road yesterday and popped in the pig ;)

    - Purchased £70 worth of food for free from M&S on Saturday thanks to my AMEX rewards credit card

    - Painted another room in anticipation of putting house on the market

    - Hung 2 loads of washing out at the w/end

    - Received my Tesco clubcard deal vouchers through today - £18 worth which will buy a couple of nice meals out

    Come on guys keep posting...I don't have a thread so this is one of my main methods of motivation!!!:j

    Hello all!

    Slightly depressing weekend stuck 'indoors' but on the porsitive side:

    * didnt buy anything online, even things I needed, thought I would wait until next credit card cut off point which is Saturday
    * 3 NSDs
    * did the usual and won nothing on TAB, 26p on Sun (so grand total of 86p now lol) and £7 on Tiki but cant withdraw just yet
    * had soup from freezer and homemade bread tonite
    * started painting my fence with the stuff left over from 2 years ago, which was quite therapeutic
    * missed a Pinecone survey as it kept on crashing :(

    And forgot to say I downloaded the Nectar toolbar and already earned 15 points as well as the 100 points welcome points!

    Onwards & upwards...
  • Today I got some fabulous advice about selling some items I know nothing about; from another MFW (thanks Katsu:T)

    Other than that i've done sod all:rotfl:

    I haven't been too good this weekend but here's a few tiny things..
    *NSD on sat
    *only spent a few £ on sunday and got a lovely dress
    *free lunch yesterday
    *avoided the supermarket for food yesterday - I'm going to have a using up week/fortnight because i have some stuff in and could do with eating lots of the freezer!
    *rated some reviews (I didn't catch up like I said - I got that completely wrong! I'm still abough 300 out and don't think I'll ever catch up!

    Today I will..
    *drive reaaally economically
    *try to write at least one review :)
    *oooh onepoll! Haven't checked that for a while!

    I've not done an update in aaaaggggeeeesss as my new job has definitely been keeping me busy! So, yesterday I:
    • Did some Onepolls - 50p in total
    • Got £59.15 from Quidco - paid straight into mortgage account
    • Got £5 from Halifax Reward - paid straight into mortgage account
    • Made lunch for today! (this is something I am spectacularly bad at doing so I'm very impressed that I not only made sandwiches, but I actually remembers to bring them to work)
    • Planned my meals for the next week

    * YouGov survey

    * Did my Halifax shenanigans on 2 accounts to get next months rewards

    * Checked my Halifax Clarity Card and found that I'd already met the £300 threshold for £5 reward on that so have now switched over to my Tesco Clubcard Credit card and can now earn points on that instead.

    (My Halifax £5's are already budgeted into my OP standing order)

    * Invited myself to mum's for Tea

    * Freezer Surprise last night turned out to be January's failed attempt at soup (not sure which kind - I'd ended up putting everything in it and producing a paste) so was very thankful to have bought a woopsie pizza at Morrisons on the way home and had that instead. Morrisons only cost me £3.27 instead of the budgeted £5 so that was good.
