Rock_Cakes

Morning all :wave:

Thanks to La E for starting us off.

Today I will:
Check my bank balances
Check surveys
Charge mobile at work
Have home made soup and bread for lunch
Walk home instead of going to the gym
Get the DH to get ingredients for dinner on Company CC (all legit. He could have stayed in a hotel, but chose to stay at home instead)
Check Ebay have 8 items on and they all finish tonight (3 have bids )
Declutter - OK Stitchy was right. Didn't happen last night but we were doing our wedding photo album, only take us 7 months! Plus I was distracted by one born every minute. No gypsy weddings tonight, so decluttering with some tunes. :dance:

Loving the fact that this week, could be very low spend indeed. Have no doubt that there will be a few spendy ones around the corner, so I'm just enjoying it while it lasts.

Have a great day everyone.

Morning all:)

Another grey, damp day here today - hope it cheers up a bit at some point this week.

So far I've:

- checked online banking
- started making bread

So little, but it is half term, and I'm later than usual.

Later, will:

- check for/do surveys
- do a few comps
- laundry on airer
- heating off
- go to Morrisons with list and stick to it!
- lunch on leftovers
- dinner from stores/menu
- no spends apart from the supermarket trip!

Yesterday was a very non-MSE day. Clothes needed for girls (got some bargains in Primark, but some stuff (jeans that fit my lanky 14 year old!) just wouldn't come cheap no matter what we did). But the difference is that, although we spent a fair bit, I know to the penny how much it was, planned what was needed rather than impulse buying, so that I know the girls have what they need, and we shouldn't have to spend anything on clothing for a long while now. And I didn't buy anything for myself. It's just different to my erstwhile chaotic approach to spending. And it feels much better.

And I did redeem £25 worth of various vouchers from surveys yesterday, so pleased with that

Anyway, enough rambling from me - have a good day, everyone

Had a busy day already!

Signed off work so drove my OH to work in order to keep myself up early and keep my days' routines in place.

• Started reconditioning an ex-corporate PC to replace mine, only cost £30 in a bankruptcy sale so I'm happy! Already managed to install all the proper gubbins on it and cannibalised my old machine for spare parts
• Coffee from my own machine rather than the shops
• Albums on Spotify instead of buying
• Breakfast from stores

Later on I will:

• Take old machine and other rubbish to the tip
• Water plants in greenhouse
• Fill up the car with biodiesel - still 12p a litre cheaper!
• Do two mystery shops

Also found out today I passed my Lionbridge exam!

Hi There, This is the first time I have posted on one of these What DFW thing have we done today,

Well

1. I checked my Bank Balances online Little disappointed that my Virgin media bill was taken 2 days earlier then i thought and because id not got around to moving the DD to my new account its gone into the overdraft on the old account, BUT it will only be like that for 2 days as will transfer the money on Thursday when i get my CTC/WTC. AND I will Notify them of change of Bank Account.

2. Keeping a cardi on instead of putting my heating on! Another debt to add to the pile.

3. Using a portion of Bolognaise meat i had frozen in freezer, so as not to waste it! (As my weekly budget has gone! doesnt help that i had £8 in nappies i wasnt expecting to pay out for though)

NOT GOING OUT! therefore i cant spend anything!
