tryingtocutback

Hi everyone

I hope you are all managing to get your lists done and stay warm!

I am really inspired by some of what you all manage to achieve - I hope to increase my list as time goes by!

My list for today:-

- went to town for haircut (found a cheaper hairdressers which is great!)

- picked up most of the items I needed in poundland

- got a cheap birthday present

- checked bank

- looked at/adjusted budget - payday on tuesday so I want to get it all sorted by then

to do:-

- food planning

- read book

I treated myself to a food flask when I was in town - it was only £5 and I can now take soup/stews to work which will be great.

Have a lovely day all.

Afternoon people

Today I:
* used my Sainsburys voucher which saved me 10p litre on petrol = £4.50 saved
* collected prescription (used medical exemption card) so free for me!
* will be attempting to book a Tesco delivery for tomorrow and will use the voucher codes they gave me for some silly mistake they made
* shall be swimming later and using the gym pass
* will have a shower and wash hair at the gym
* visited Co-op and managed to not go crazy in there but picked up a few reduced vegetables

Worked 4 hours for DOUBLE-TIME!

That's £55 towards paying off my debts.

Well, £55 minus the mini-splurge in Asda (£3)

Hi everyone,

Thanks for starting us off Ally, love the quote.
Stitchy - Sorry to hear your boss has changed the bonuses, I can see why this is the last straw now! Good luck with your job hunting, & I hope your sewing business grows even more. The bag you made for RFTA is lovely!

Today I have/will:-

• B/L/D from stores
• Leftovers for lunch
  
• Log calories using free app
• Checked postcode lottery
• Charged phone via pc

• Checked online banking
• Check for new mystery shopping opportunities
• Entered a comp
• Need to fess up on the GC thread
• Checked Gumtree
• Continue reading household diary thread, looks like I'm capable of making my own sheets for my filofax So that'll be a few pounds saved! Just need to decide what I need now
• Decide what to do about phone upgrade having spoken to Mr-Unhelpful at 0range...he was pushing for me to upgrade now & sell my phone back to them in a year & upgrade for a fee, not very DFW though!
• Go to second job tonight, going to drive so I cannot spend money on alcohol & taxis, better for my waistline too!
• My Dad has worked on our kitchen floor again today, just needs grouting tomorrow now & we're done! It looks fab already :j

• Maybe get some listings ready for the free listing on fleabay tomorrow, going to relist the guitars that didn't sell & also list the glassware used for the candy buffet for our wedding. Hopefully make a decent amount off that to go towards the horrendous amount I just spent on DH's birthday hol Still we should be on track to be DF this year! Bring it on!!

Hope everyone has a great, MSE day x

If they'd settle for a Burger King would these vouchers help?

Thanks ally. I've already got those vouchers, but the nearest BK is in the city centre - around 7 miles away - whereas McD's is within walking distance so I went with the handy option.

Hi everyone - sorry so late in the day

Today I have:

• Thermals on .. heating off - it's bloomin' cold!
• Sort cats & tidy up
• Checked online banking - moved funds to Bills account (had been leaving in main account to reduce time I'd be in my OD) and funds from House & Car budgeting pot to main account (to reduce the level of the OD until payday) - hopefully the 2 will save some interest;)
• Updated spreadsheets
• Walked dog x 2 - went to the beach this morning and a walk around the streets earlier
• Washed dog towels & hung up (all I seem to do is wash dog towels just now :eek:)
• Cooked 1st meal from new recipe binders - using stuff about to go out of date in the fridge :T I'd never have remembered to do this before

Enjoy the rest of the weekend everyone

Incredibly easy and dead cheap! Three heaped tablespoons of Tesco value porridge oats, two level tablespoons of Tesco value dried skimmed milk and a handful of raisins!

Then just add boiling water and stir

Just to join in.. today i made a huge batch of parsnip soup with a recipe i found online and with leftover parsnips i found in the fridge. There will be plenty to last a good few lunchtimes!

I also did shopping today with OH and stuck to the 'list' and got a good load of shopping which didn't bust the bank.

to 2013newbie.. did you sell CD's to music magpie? i've got a huge amount of cd's i had considered trimming down a bit.. anyone else use them, worth it or waste of time?
