Wednesday 14th December - What small DFW things will you do today?!

timefortea

I dug old last year's unused Christmas cards! Means I won't have to buy more to send to the oldies on my boyfriend's meals on wheels round.

Instead of buying dinner I just stuffed my face with the Christmas cookies hanging around the office. Sort of MSE. But not waist saving expert.

And my wages go into my bank account tomorrow, so I set up the transfer to pay off my credit card. Usually I pay it in full but this time have only managed £300/£440. I'm expecting more money before the bill is actually due though, so hopefully it'll be paid in full as usual.

Hello :wave: late post for me

not much to report but:

• had "bring & share" lunch at work - made a vat of spicy lentil soup (all ingredients from store cupboard) and then got free yummy food
• took note of mileage to update expenses tomorrow
• NSD

• freeze LO soup for lunches next week

have researched hairdresser for dd's 18th next week & found a voucher for cut & blow dry at a salon in town for £25 :beer: will make her happy (even if it is momentarily) and miles cheaper than a meal put for 4 (gave her the option of a meal out or a haircut and a meal at home and she chose the haircut )

received heated dryer (very excited about this :j as have had problem with drying clothes now in a flat & it had really good reviews and much more frugal than buying & using a tumble dryer!) so have hung up a load & done another still to hang up. If the reviews are to be believed it should be dry in the morning & the lounge will be toasty so no need to put on the heating :T

will also read martin's email
early night as work has been far from the "graduated return back to work after 3 weeks off with stress :eek:

but hey its Thursday tomorrow so only a week left until xmas holidays & then its only 2 more weeks till I'm out of that blood sucking hell hole!!!! :j

Love to you all x

Evening All,

Late posting for me….no particular reason – just running late all day

Thanks to Perni for starting the thread

Hope everyone is ok – hi to all new posters

Today I have/will:
• Used railpass to get to work
• Read free paper on the train
• Read national paper online
• Had a free coffee (from loyalty card)
• Breakfast and lunch at work (ooops – not so MS)
• Received party outfits from ebay – a top which is perfect and a dress which was labelled up as a size bigger than I need, but still didn’t fit (this isn’t an excuse really – the store is notorious for small sizes) and it stunk of smoke eeeugh! – it’s hanging up to air then I will re-list it (it still has its tags)
• Shower and moisturise using own label toiletries
• Need to put washing on a quick wash
• Change in sealed pot

Think that is about it – must try harder tomorrow!

I have managed to squeeze a couple of extra things on to be a bit more dfw today.
Asked at work about childcare vouchers, in preparation for when I lose my tax credits next April.
Spent £8 in B*M which covered my secret santa and 4 other gifts for people.
Asked at nursery about over 3 grant - it's due to be paid from 1st Jan but has all changed from when dd was at nursery. Sounds way more complicated for my budgeting...

Very late but today (yesterday!) I:

- checked online banking
- signed up for swagbucks and tried to earn as many as possible!
- had tea/water at work
- took a packed lunch to work
- made my sandwich for tomorrow
- all meals from stores
- finished wrapping Christmas presents

Phew! And it starts all over again in a few hours, I should probably go to bed!

Night all!
