Friday, 4th October 2013 - What Small DFW Things Will You Do Today??

Pernicious

Hi everyone,

Thanks for starting us off SFTM.

Today's plan:-

• Making use of free water at work
• Food from stores, leftovers for lunch
• Dinner from meal plan - HM satay chicken
• Staying in for most of my lunch break to avoid spending but popped to cheapo card shop to buy a card for my sister's 30th, £1.29 spent which is more than I usually spend but it is perfect
• Log calories & exercise on free apps
• Checked birthday bingo
• Check online banking
• Check for new mystery shopping opportunities
• Enter some comps
• Do some surveys
• Declutter & flylady
• DH hopefully doing some overtime today
• Heating off, fleecey dressing gowns on instead
• Buy lottery tickets for syndicate
• Look at my options for the future & somehow get through the day again
• Go to second job this evening, driving not drinking

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

Welcome Sparklychar :hello: and congrats on beginning your DFW journey!!
I have certainly found the little things have helped keep me focused and on-track both getting out of debt and now saving!

Perni, the chicken satay sounds delicious - one of my takeaway favourites!! Would you mind sharing??

Thanks for the thread SFTM

Waves to all - sorry busy week at work often dashed out before I can post.

Todays lovely done things

Shopping list (which I remembered)
Meal plan sort of sorted
Banks checked its official I have NO MONEY until my wages cheque clears
Brekkie/lunch from home - recycled bread for a tuna sandwich and some fruit
Wedding woodland button thimgy up and going online had some payments in YAY!!
Walked 2 miles with mutts
Hoovered house and cleaned kitchen
Bought some reduced bits and froze the chicken into smaller portions
Foraged through the cupboards and freezers/fridge before I went shopping.
Went to green grocer and bought 3 mushrooms (12p) and a small pepper (45p) cos that's all we need
Took my own bags
Got free bones from the butchers too

Still to do tonight
Have an AF night
Banks to check again and see if the wages appear - I fear it will be next week
Do lots of washing and hang up
Working all weekend so make up some grub for when I slope out the house
Speak to OH via Skype as he's down for his stag doo.
Make a plan with our tame cheflet for the wedding buffet - its only in 16 days - no point in rushing!! (we do have a rough list and a £500 budget) which we now need to quantify so I can start shopping - when wages clear)
Have a nice bath
Put on the stove in the living room with free wood
write a blog - keep me out of mischief.
Read some online stuff and blogs (free)

Hope you all have a good un - hugs all round - hope you're all good.

Off to read back now

What's an AF night please?!

A couple to add -

Got a chocolate baileys freebie

Cancelled my mobile phone insurance £7.99 a month - contract nearly up, as soon as it is I will switch to SIM only contract. Phone is a getting a bit buggy, but when it dies, going to buy a £149 Google Nexus 4 - much cheaper over a regular contract period.

Quidco freebie 5p for making a flight comparison.
