Evening all,
Quite a good day, really:
-Did laundry overnight on Economy 7. Timer set for same again tonight.
-Went to have a look at the Sales. Nothing there that I liked enough to buy. Mr f got 2 lovely shirts half price. Used our clothes 'piggy' so bank account untouched.
-Took packed lunch with us which saved paying out for someone else to make us some sandwiches.
-Made 2 pasta bakes for freezer to use up last of the Christmas ham & some of the Stilton.
-Made bread.
-Transferred all the toiletries I received for Christmas to my stash basket. Am nicely stocked up & shouldn't need to buy anything for a good while.
-No heating on until 5pm, as we were out most of the day anyway.
Bye for now,
Foxgloves x

Hello folks,

Back from my bargain break in london

It was lovely to get away with hubby, we have walked miles as it helps with the fitness and also it is free.....back to reality though and back to my money saving ways....

So I have/will (only counting the things from when I got home as I have spent a bit of money this weekend)

• Put change into pots
• Dinner from stores
• Prepared breakfast for tomorrow
• Need to prepare lunch for tomorrow (there's no canteen)
• Need to have a quick shower
• Booked a hotel for a friends 30th....used quidco and just booked for one night

Think that is about it

Take care all

Hi all!

Yesterday was a low spend for me, keeping it within my £15.

Today has been a NSD (I love those!) and I've also had a financial talk with my Dad. I'm no longer paying them rent and instead will put that money against paying my loan off that bit quicker.

Unfortunately, Lloyds decided to close early so I couldn't change the repayment amount today.

I need to go down and sort some lunch/snacks out for Monday/Tuesday as I'm working!

New to the forum but after reading comments on here last night I realised I needed to start doing the little things too.

Today I...
1. Washed the dishes by hand instead of using the dishwasher
2. Hung up clothes to dry instead of using the tumble dryer
3. Put a pair of socks on when I got cold instead of turning the heating up!

I have also had a massive heart to heart with hubby this morning and we have spent the entire day trying to overhaul our finances! Not easy while trying to occupy two children but I am determined we will be organised by then end of the night!

Any other little tips on saving money are greatly appreciated.

Thanks all.
