    got here eventually!

    today I have:

    - sent the children for picnic ingredients for tomorrow's ski race, instead of paying for bbq stuff when we are there
    - downloaded a free 60 day trial of microsoft office instead of buying one!
    - planned a storecupboard meal
    - not done a lot else hence no money being spent

    4.30am start for us tomorrow so if someone can start this thread off again in the morning that would be great :D

    I hope everyone is having a good weekend x

    Update on my MSE day. Not only have a re-negotiated a new phone deal with Vodafone, saving me £40 per month and getting a new phone. I have now registered with envirophone via Quidco earning me £1.49 and have recycled an old phone (my old phone went to DS, his old phone went to DD and her old phone has been recycled) and earned £24.79

    Not bad at all.
  • - Paid more than minimum off credit card
    - Dried clothes on airer
    - Paid in some cash given to me by my Dear Nanna to help me avoid going over my overdraft limit!
    - Reisisted all the usual crap I often buy on a Satuday on my browse around the shops
    - Arranged to collect a new iron from freecylce tomorrow to replace my one that's on its last legs
    - Lunch and tea from cupboards/freezer

    *edit8 almost forgot, got a 4quid refund in Boots today for a private prescription I had to pay for when I ran out of my medication a few weeks ago

    Today I have cut up my Barclaycard!

    Still a gazillion pounds to pay off it, but at least I can never be tempted to spend on it again.

    Of course, I had the inevitable "final spend" and bought a year's car tax on it. Oh well. Now I am fully taxed and ready to save!:o

    Evening,

    Well,
    *youngest DS has been at a party today, so I packed off eldest DS to the grandparents rather than take him and have to buy him sweet and drinks!!
    *I needed some new earphones for my iPod (wanted the ear clip ones for jogging) and price checked 4 store before going back to store 2 for the cheapest (saved £3!!)
    *Avoided the supermarket as I spend LOADS in them, and just grabbed bread and milk from corner shop
    *Spent rest of the day pottering around the house - costs nothing!!

    Still feel really skint though.:(
