Just thought of a few extra money saving things I've done today...

• Stayed in and saved £10 taxi fare home and the cost of a bottle of wine to take with me
• Watched recorded movie off Skyplus instead of very tempting box office movie
• Written meal plan for the week using up the fresh stuff first to minimise waste
• Convinced myself I didn't need a bottle of wine to watch telly with
• Didn't have a bath to save water (had a shower this morning)
• Walked dog locally saving petrol taking him to the big park
• Cancelled Lovefilm free trial before I forget
• Postponed Graze box delivery until I go back to work

Only small things but have probably saved £15-20:T

Mail on Sunday today has a £5 off if you spend £40 or more at Tesco by Tuesday.

If you do a big shop over £80, it could be worth buying two or more copies and splitting the shop in to chunks of £40 a go and using a voucher against each chunk.

Yay! It's the weekend :j

Hi to all posters - thanks for starting the thread DNMS. Sorry to hear about the high cost of the flights you want. Christmas is always a really expensive time to fly anywhere though :eek:

Walked to A!di yesterday instead of taking the car - now I have moved into town I can do that - free exercise as well, especially dragging the shopping trolley back up the hill :rotfl:

Today- More tidying of new house and sorting stuff for a car boot (maybe next weekend - I keep putting it off

List some items on ebay - ceiling lights that we ended up not using in our renovation project.

Plant out little leek plants given to me by a neighbour now the potatoes are all out of the veggie bed.

Water tomatoes.

Trim herbs in large pots in the front garden.
Prepare yet more runner beans for the freezer :eek:

Maybe make something for pud as DD and her OH are coming over for dinner this evening. I only really bother when we have visitors.

It was due to be an MSE day BUT MIL phoned yesterday to say her Aunt and cousin are coming to visit and want to meet everyone. So to do this we have to all go for a meal together. OH isn't bothered at all and we could do with not spending the extra money. But hey ho it has to be done and a meal out will be nice i suppose! It is a really sunny day though so i would prefer to be out walking somewhere!


My MSE things

Make the meal as cheap as possible!
Housework
Get lunch ready for day back at work tomorrow
Go out for a walk along the coast using National Trust free parking
Send my message in a bottle!


Have a great day everyone
