5 years MFW - Lets get cracking...

HelenDaveKids

Bless you MMM, have read all of yours too and enjoying, so thank you.

If I ever read bits of mine back, I can't help thinking Im slightly bonkers and my life is a bit roller coaster ish. My RL friends say that i tend to concentrate on 1 thing and completely go for it and it generally lasts 18 months +, so although my MFW is a bit ott in my life at the mo, I'm hoping that by the time it wears off I will have succeeded or made a significant dint, I'm now 8 months in and have only got more MFW.

Have sold grand total of 2 ebay items today, all for starting bids, but hey still items gone.

Have joined dooyoo as this months project (I'm HelenDK - wanted to be recogniseable to my MSE buds, please be my friend everyone) Suspect my reviews are carp but promise to improve!

Still swaggering but doesnt always seem to have the pay potential and Im damned if I will do a survey for 11p which pays 70p on TCB, plus get DQ'ed all the time and after significant time. Also watch a video for 1p that I watch on adpoints for 2.5 p (although will watch both :rotfl:)

So this month DooYoo. Will report how well it goes.......

OOOO forget to mention groceries breach... went to FF, HB, Aldi spent £130 but cupboards bursting and used £75 spend £7.50 off FF coupon. So am well over for month but as my darling husband so eloquently said "we have to eat dear" .
I suspect Easter week Wine may have dinted our efforts but we had run low on soup...so it was either the soup or the wine... I vote soups fault!

Hear hear!

I have actually pretty much given up on budgeting for food. Yes, we have a nominal line in the budget, but we are sometimes under, sometimes over.

As long as we have a home cooked meal (almost) every night, don't buy ready meals, crisps or wine with it, I'm trying not to be too anguished.

We cook from scratch, don't buy brands where there's a cheap(er) alternative and generally eat very well.

Not buying sweets, chocolates, crisps, nuts , biscuits etc has made the biggest difference to our shopping bill. If we fancy a cake or a biscuit we have to make it

I can't cook though! I can warm things.....

DD1 concert today (was rescheduled due to snow last month) and was brilliant, the band is so professional that its quite shocking to think my bambino is playing in it!

All jobs done, including ironing and cleaning. Did lawns yesterday.

Think I'll just update my signature whilst I'm here, be rude not to really...

HelenDaveKids

Still here... signature updated, a lovely £1500 OP helped by the fact i lent the deposit account some endowment money and now paying it back in as savings improve. Have £1100 left that I borrowed so should help my June / July OPs.
