Things I am going to do today in a DFW/MSE way - Saturday 24th March

In Hypnos absence I have started this thread for today - not jealous at all that she is on holiday :D Dont forget clocks go forward 1 hour tonight too :o

Right its Saturday so I have loads of time to sort out more Junk ( I mean stuff ) for Ebay so that is my priority today. I have 6 items ending today - only 2 with bids though :(
Im not going into town or into any shops so no temptation there
We are eating from storecupboard - HM soup for lunch with HM bread ( must put the breadmaker on ) and HM Lasagne with HM garlic bread for Dinner - might throw in some veg too if we are lucky.

:j Have a good DFW/MSE day everybody :j

ps - just remembered I am looking after my Nana this weekend and I have to get her some bits from Tescos so I WILL just buy what she needs and wear blinkers so that I dont but anything else :p

  • Hi all,

    I'm going to be listing on Ebay today as well - hoping to list 5 more items today as all other listed items have just finished (4 out of 7 sold so thats not bad).

    Also chasing Avon again for £80 still owed to me from items returned to them but not refunded after giving up being a rep 3 months ago! Managed to get over £700 back so far but not giving up on this last £80!!!

    Oh and hoping to make some cards ready to sell in some shops or to friends/family etc to make a few extra ££££'s.

    All this is dependant on how compliant my 3 year old is and wheather or not I go into labour or not - been having several twinges but hoping I can at least get email sent to Avon and items listed on Ebay first!!!

    No spending for me today until later, I'll be staying in the house til this evening when DH and I are going to visit my sister. This evening, we'll probably spend around £20 on some wine, beers and a takeaway but we do that very rarely so it's a weekend (after payday!!) treat!

    Ever wonder about those people who spend £2 apiece on those little bottles of Evian water? Try spelling Evian backward.

    Have decided not to go into town to send out book sold on Amazon, hubby can do it from work on Monday. Was also going to look at shoes but as the weather is cold I'll carry on wearing boots - only have trainers, nice boots, walking boots and sandals - can't wear nice skirts without a pair of shoes once the weather warms up!

    So saved on petrol. HM pizza for lunch, casserole with lots of veg & jacket pot from my sack in the garage for dinner.

    Working on DH's accounts as the end of the year is fast approaching!
  • Hi all

    Have been grocery shopping today and stuck exactly to the list:j

    Will stay in tidying house and maybe do some more knitting to be sold:D

    1. Start getting all the info needed for my SOA
    2. Stay at home doing assignments - although I may get a call needing me to take some Young People to Liverpool tonight...it needs to be confirmed! That will cost petrol, dinner at McD's (Happy Meal) and the gig ticket. But its for uni placement, so I can't say no.
    3. Eat out of the freezer!
    4. Have rung BT to ask about the £50 deposit I had to put down, and when I can get it back. I owe them about £5, so should be getting some money back!
    5. Filling in my student form for the prescription I paid for yesterday. I want some money back!
    6. Cancelling any direct debits that are no longer needed.
    7. Listing things for sale online at a free place I list at, then adding them to Turbo lister for a cheap listing day!

    Yes, I feel like I will achieve a lot today!
    I like to make money
    Best wins: £3,000 luxury holiday, holiday in Cornwall, £250 Murad Skincare hamper, angle grinder


    :j Make £10 a day challenger - it pays for trips to Florida! :j

    We were going to have a trip into the city centre today, but we decided to not bother as we would only end up spending.

    Weather is fab here so hubby is busy in the garden, i'm going to sort the paperwork mountains out that seem to generate all over the house whilst watching american pop idol.

    Later got to go to Aldi and Lidl and visit mum whose just out of hospital.

    hope everyone has a good day
