    Afternoon DFW-Jedis,

    Made it back to work today. :) This is progress. Today I will:
    • Do Nectar AdPoints. (Link)
    • Do Ipsos Surveys.
    • Read paper online. (Link)
    • Get OH to plant free tomato seeds received from Heinz Tomato Ketchup UK Facebook page.
    • Watch some 4OD and iPlayer instead of buying new DVDs.
    • Limited myself to a £1.99 lunchtime spend. Always treat myself on a Thu, the end of my week, but never more than £1.99 and usually under 60p. Can't believe I used to spend £5 a day before I got into packed lunches! How my life has changed. I still use the Demotivator now and again. (Link)
    • Plan for payday next week.
    • Read Martin's email. (Link)

    • Free thriller for Kindle. (Link)

    • Free pack of Percy Pigs for 02 Priority Moments customers. Login to get a voucher for this treat. (Link)
    • Join the Jeyes Fluid Testing Panel for a chance to test Jeyes Fluid for free. (Link)
    OFFERS:
    • Cheap cheese? (Link)
    • Win Carnation milk through Facebook? (Link)
    • 25p train fares London to Birmingham. (Link)
    • Buy May 2013 Cosmo mag for £3.60 and get 'free' hair oil and order a voucher for a free haircut if there's an eligible salon in your area of Eng/Scot/Wales. Check Upsidedown Bear's post for info. (Link)
    • Help Oxfam and get 100 Nectar Points. (Link)
    • Swap £5 of Nectar Points for £10 of Sainsbury's shopping at selected stores in England. (Link)

  • Hello, I decided to take the plunge and post my small DFW things. Hopefully this will keep me on track :p

    So today I will do the following:

    All meals from stores
    Need to check the bank acc's
    Had a bit of a spendy day as needed diesel and bread
    Read Martin's newsletter
    Look at moving my ISA to a better rate

    I'm sure there's more but at least its a start.

    Looking forward to contributing to the thread as you all seem so supportive :o

    Hi All

    @Determined NewMs - Thank you for the good wishes, they worked! Really good day today. Phew!

    I dont have a huge amount to contribute today, I worked from 8-5 and then was so tired and hungry we had a takeway, very naughty, and actually not very enjoyable. Hey ho.

    Came home to a letter from a company I hold a small amount of shares in (former company share scheme) saying there will be a dividend issue this year, not huge around 0.70 euros per share, but works out around £73 to me. I have them all automatically reinvested so it helps buy me more shares.

    Erm, its only 13 days till OH payday.

    Wow Im really all out of the MSE spirit today arent I :) See you all tommorow for a better account from me, and hopefully lots more updates from everyone else.

    night!

    Bob
