Stepping to the simpler MF life...

Hi Mouche.
Thank you - just added another £5.64 too - feels good

I did get a refund thank you for asking. I was going to get another dvd but they really didn't have a lot of choice. We shall just continue with our 14 year old one! Once the refund hits my bank, I can pop that in my savings too. Even if I don't make my target of £1000 by the end of the year, I'm happy with what I have managed to save.

Still waiting on our annual mortgage statement.....was hoping it would arrive soon so I can see what we've paid off.

Usual meter readings done. £19.98 this week. It hasn't been a lot colder, but i can certainly tell dh has been home without me - the gas has gone up a lot! He would rather put that on that a jumper

You are very dedicated to manage weekly meter readings, I can just about manage once a month. As long as it doesn't jump up dramatically I'm happy.

Hi too too :j

Just wanted to say I just read your diary and really enjoyed it. It's nice reading someone who is in a similer position to me, ie not a huge income with a reluctant other half. I have subscribed.

Hi ed - its to help my motivation and also helps me show dh! He would happily have it on all day!!

Hi lily - thank you for stopping by. He is reluctant but im trying my best

Refund from dodgy dvd received and ready to be moved to the savings.
Still no mortgage statement.
I've been having a good think which is dangerous! !
I'm trying to get back into the habit of washable nappies to save some pennies. They're harder to dry this time of year but even if I only use for a few days its pennies saved.

I'm still trying to cut down on groceries. I have enough for all next week apart from bread and milk. Then I should be able to get by on a small shop. Hopefully pennies saved to the mortgage!

Hi tootoo, I know you said you have a TD (not as posh as GG's ) but have you thought of getting a heated airer if you have a lot of drying to do daily? I have a TD but almost always use the airer as its less than 5p ph and does about 3 loads at once over a day, although its a big initial cost (around £80 for a 3 tier one) I have found it saves me drying stuff on radiators and putting the heating on.

I did not know such a genius invention existed. As soon I will have a load of nappies to dry in midwinter I am off to find one. Great tip thank you :happyhear

Genius it may be. But not as much fun as a :smileyheatumble drier with internal light :smileyhea .

thanks new girl.
I've had a quick look and they look great but i'd need the big one and its £93!! I know in the long run it'll pay but at the mo I can't really find the money....
gallygirl - i think i need to google tumble with interior light as it sounds like a fantasy !!

lilyp - I'm off to read your diary now
