Good morning all! thanks for starting the thread, I wondered where it was this morning and wasnt brave enough to start it myself

Today:

• walked to work (40 min), will walk back too if the weather isnt too rubbish
• free cuppas at work
• brought in lunch - jacket potato and vegie chili, no cheese or butter so very healthy
• have my annual review in half an hour... eep! wish me luck, folks:eek:
• printed out a dine and wine for £20 voucher for tonight, meeting an old work mate at a youngs pub
• will do food shopping from meal plan tonight on my way home from the pub - have my shopping bags with me, and a meal plan that lasts until next thursday!
• go to the gym at lunch time, after review as things are quiet
• check banking
• FINALLY get thank you note written to be sent tomorrow, cant keep putting this off!

good day everyone.

Morning All

I'm a newbie DFW (just entering into a DMP) so am trying to think of ways to decrease my spends. Today so far I have:

• turned the heating down
• handwashed breakfast dishes (save loading the dishwasher)
• downloaded a few free apps on my phone for my 5 yr old
• checked my bank
• chased some expenses with work
• this afternoon will look for stuff to sell on ebay
• checked my shopping order that's due tomorrow to be 100% sure I need all the suff.

Think that's it for today.

Morning all:)
Still typical half term weather here

Today's list:

- checked banking
- check for surveys
- done comps
- laundry done and on airer
- heating on low
- elder daughter is doing an Orange Wednesdays deal with a friend at the cinema
- younger daughter and I are at home baking for family visit tomorrow
- dinner from stores/menu
- lunch on homemade bread and soup

Did a week's grocery shopping for £50 yesterday :j This might seem quite a bit to some of you long time MSE'ers, but for me, still a relative newbie, it was amazing. This time last year, I would probably have spent more like £120 on a half term week's groceries :eek:

Have a good day, all. I hope the day goes as slowly or as quickly as you wish it to

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one with this problem!!!

Hello everyone,

A late post from me as I have been sooooo busy at work today, hope everyone is well.

I put my name forward for a temporary promotion at work today...I don't think I'll get it, but it can't hurt to try right? I don't think there's any extra money either, but it would be very valuable work experience for me which might enable me to move up in the world elsewhere.

Today I have/will:-

• [STRIKE]Charge phone via PC since it's on anyway[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]Food from stores[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]Heating off during working day[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]Log calories on free app[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]Log expenditure on free app[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]Check ebay[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]Post items that have been paid for [/STRIKE]- 1 cost less then I thought it would...should I refund the buyer £1.50 or keep as extra profit? They got a good deal anyway!
• [STRIKE]Check for surveys[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]Enter comps[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]Check online banking[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]Hang washing up to dry[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]Put £2 coin received at lunch into pot[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]Read Martin's email[/STRIKE]

Not so DFW thing I am going to put here just to remind myself...

• Sort out a few games for my friend's hen do

Have a great, moneysaving day everyone x
