After moving out and racking up a huge credit card bill again I'm back on the DFW trail, learning how to manage my finances properly (I had no idea how easy it really was when I was living at home). So, this weekend I will-

Check online banking and download forms for change off address (Done)
Download form for registering on the electoral roll
Have at least one NSD (done! Will try for two )
Go and turn the heating off!
Cook dinner and freeze half of it

I really need to get back into the swing of this!!

Hellooooo everyone, & a very, very big welcome back to DNMS! :beer:

Glad to hear you enjoyed yourself & are feeling refreshed

I am not been very DFW today as I have made a big decision - I have applied for a loan in order to pay off my overdraft once & for all (for some reason this one debt stresses me out so much!) & to put deposits down for our wedding, as although by the wedding date we will have saved up enough, we don't have the money to hand now...& we really need to get booking things if we are to marry next year. I have shopped around for the best deal & been as sensible as I can be about it (ensuring the monthly payment is manageable, we aren't borrowing more then we need, the term is suitable etc) so I feel even though I am taking on more debt, it's for the right reasons & will be a lot more manageable.

Today I have/will:-

• [STRIKE]Charge phone via PC since it's on anyway[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]Food from stores[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]Heating on low[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]Log calories on free app[/STRIKE]
• Log expenditure on free app
• [STRIKE]Check ebay [/STRIKE]- More bids, yay! Hopefully some more by tomorrow though...
• [STRIKE]Check for surveys[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]Enter comps[/STRIKE]
• Put away clean washing
• [STRIKE]Washing on eco setting[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]Buy final bits for my friend's hen do using cashback[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]Check online banking[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]Received another £10 voucher from surveys[/STRIKE]

Have a great, moneysaving day everyone x

Hello, it is quiet on here today!

Glad to hear that you had a nice holiday DNMS :j, and nice to see Josie back too!

Today I have:

Grocery shopping and used £3 voucher in Mr S.

Used £5 off voucher that I was given in Boots and got eye cream for £2.14

Not much housework must do it tomorrow

Brother bought fish and chips for tea (I did offer to pay, but happily accepted when he refused - he has been living here for months for virtually nothing)

Made game pie filling ready for pastry crust tomorrow, and a bacon, leek and macaroni cheese for Monday (it was going to be for tonight but them brother turned up with f&c). So, I cooled it and put in fridge - I will sprinkle with grated cheese on Monday and bake in oven till piping hot and bubbling, and brown on top

Lazy day today! Must get on tomorrow, or it will be Monday again and I won't have tidied up :eek:

Morning everyone. I'm really enjoying my "quiet time" and getting LOADS done! My house looks presentable for the first time in weeks, there's HM cookies in the tin and I got to spend four hours in the sewing room making a quilt! :)

So far today I have:

• checked banking - not brilliant, but not OD either
• checked for surveys
• fed and watered chickens and asked for at least three eggs today
• written a planting plan/schedule for the allotment
• emptied small change from purse and put in my money pot

I will also:

• use bike as DH still has the car
• go to DD's house for the morning to do the dolls' house electrics
• use DD's coffee, milk and lunch!
• just buy milk on the way home
• spend the afternoon in the garden if the rain holds off
• spend the evening in the sewing room :j
• have a very LSD - just the milk to buy

After a busy day yesterday I'm looking forward to my relaxed Sunday - I hope you are too!
