Sat/Sun 21st/22nd Sep - What Small DFW Things Will You Be Doing This Weekend?

Pernicious

Today I may not get much done since I may be a tad hungover...

Today's plan:-

• Food from stores
• Dinner from meal plan - Kale & mushroom lasagne
  
• Log calories & exercise on free apps
• Checked birthday bingo
• Check online banking & enquire why our 0% overdraft is ending next month, I am sure we had longer on it...
• Check for new mystery shopping opportunities
• Enter some comps
• Do some surveys
• Declutter & flylady
• DH has done some overtime today
• Heating off, fleecey dressing gowns on instead
• Today is day 7 of the 30 days challenge - rest, fortunately!
• Create a meal plan using up everything from stores. We have about £3 left of our budget until the 28th :eek: - Didn't get round to this last night either
• Washing on 30 degrees eco setting using less than the recommended dose of washing liquid
• Hang up to dry
• Maybe list a few bits on fleabay since it's a free listing weekend

Hope you're all ok & have a great MSE day x

Forgot to add to my list:

-Write down Christmas menu and list the food needed. My plan is to buy 1 or 2 items every week so that it doesn't comes as too much of a shock!
I never go mental over Christmas, it's always just the boys and me, but i like to have nice food

Hi all,
Today's money-saving small things:
*Shared bath water (with partner....just in case anyone thought I was getting the neighbours in.....)
*Limited myself to just one bag of 30 daffodil bulbs for spring pots. When I got them home, found there were 39 - enough for an extra free pot!
*Village butcher saw me looking in his freezer & said all prices were 'flexible'. Bought a rabbit & 3 packs of chicken for £8.
*Sorted out our very full freezer & wrote list.
*Free exercise! 2 hours of gardening & 50 min exercise DVD.
*Mr f got ladder out & picked 3 baskets of apples.
*Dug last of our potato crop, enough for a couple of weeks.
*Picked last outdoor tomatoes green & put in greenhouse to ripen.
*Recycled compost from chillies & peppers to use as bulb fibre for daffs. The energy's in the bulb, so this works fine for the first planting.
*Lifted last of the red spring onions for this week's salads.
*Loaded washer for Economy 7 wash overnight.
*Cut out 2 '50p off' Divine Chocolate vouchers (Observer) as I need a few nice bars for the present cupboard.
*1 Christmas present knitted & squirrelled away in present cupboard. Will carry on knitting jumper later (also a present).
*Read energy meters & entered them on my chart.
Still to do:
*Keep trying Debenham's website which is clearly having some kind of mad meltdown. Can view stuff but can't order anything.....infuriating as there's a code for an extra 10% off (TM32) which ends at midnight. If their tech problem isn't resolved in time, I shall ask them still to honour the discount.
Well, that's my list for today......mr f cooking tonight, so I shall have some free leisure time reading, writing my journal & knitting.
Have a nice evening, everyone.....that pesky Monday's going to rock up all too soon, so enjoy every scrap of the weekend.

Collect Plus, you use them through your local 'corner' shop and you can drop off any time they're open which is better hours than the P.O. (Link)

Hi all, :wave:

I might be doing some home improvements soon, starting with my skirting I think. I found mdfskirtingworld are quite cheap and look reliable. Has anyone else bought from here?
