Morning folks , I have an extra long weekend off work - not back till weds , woohoo . Am planning a bit of a chilled day today then run round like a mad un tommorow.

So far I have :

• checked banks - looking good and 6 days to payday
• done a survey - £1
• opened post to a suprise cheque for £2 - it all helps
• rung a local plumber to see if boiler can be fixed or get a quote for new one . Doubt it can be fixed its 25 years old :eek: plan is to save hard for a few months with extra layers as we have hot water he can't come till friday but said don't worry I like tinkering with old boilers lol
• checked ebay - not much happening
• made appointment with dr online - no phone charges :cool:

Still to do :

• look for more surveys - not done any
• comps - quite a few until i got bored
• set up home scan
• ring CS to collect bags from clearout
• list more on ebay / ebid
• Walk to town and pay in cheques x2 and buy blusher with boots voucher
• all meals from stores
• heating will be off all day :rotfl:

Although all of the above is subject to change

Morning everyone. Late into work today, due to a Dentist appointment. Gave me the opportunity to take youngest son to school, which I rarely get chance to do, then went for a run.

Gorgeous day in the Midlands today. I even took the ironing out into the garden and did a bit of topless ironing! (I should just remind people at this point that I am a bloke).

Washing is out on the line to dry (2 loads)
Checked online banking
Paid a cheque that youngest son got for his birthday last week into the bank
Charging phones on the train
Brought sandwiches from home
Prepared dinner from stores, (pasta with leftover bacon and mushrooms)

Have a great day all

Afternoon everyone! Thanks Pixie for starting us off, and hope everyone's having a good day so far (or as good as a Monday can get!)

Today I have:-

• Applied for a new job - quite a bit more money plus is closer to home so would be amazing if I got an interview!
• Checked online banking - have £75.00 pending and not a clue what it's for so will be investigating that shortly
• Bought my lunch for the week which will be healthy ham salad sarnies
• Starting my search for car insurance
• Updated my budget spreadsheet
• Had a banana and apple from home for snacks (free + healthy!)
• Worked hard even though I'm not really enjoying my job atm

Going to go for a nice free walk on my lunch and go sign up for the gym after work! Then can get myself some cheap swimming stuff from Asda and start getting fit!

Happy Moneysaving :j x

Hi all
Hope you are well? I've just read over the weekend and this thread so am feeling really motivated

Had a really productive weekend, cleared out my wardrobe ready for moving, bag of rubbish down the dump and a bag and a half so far to charity, with a couple of pairs of shoes on ebay. I'm determined to not end up taking loads of stuff with us we don't use, so going to tackle a part of the house a night. I think tonight might be the turn of the bathroom, that or my chest of drawers.

Today I have/will:

-walked to work
-will walk home
-breakfast at home
-lunch with me
-coffee with the girls at lunch, though will use my card which OH topped up again for me, such a sweetie
-booked oven cleaner - i know not necessarily DFW but it means we have a better chance of getting the deposit back
-check ebay
-coffee at work - got the milk in the shopping so no spend
-hoping for a NSD (that'll make 9 this month!)
-instead of buying a needle for sewing up crochet spoke to sewing friend to see if she had a spare!
-meal will be our treat from saturday night that got frozen as we were invited to our friends
-sort out another area of the house
-read more of my library book - renewed these at the weekend
-booked holiday for moving next week

Think that is all
Lots of love and sparkles all round

Forgot to mention that I'd lost another pound at the Monday morning weigh in. Progress is not exactly spectacular, but its steady. Its now 15lb in 11 weeks.
