5 a day to save away

craftingmad

Good afternoon everyone,

I'm feeling pants again today so aiming to take it a bit easier on myself but still hoping to get my 5 a day so here's my list

1. NSD (my car is in the garage so can't go anywhere anyway) - DONE
2. Survive with the heating off until the kids get home from school - DONE I was toasty with my dressing gown and slippers yesterday
3. Chase up Amazon and the Works for my refunds which are overdue - DONE £46 hit bank account straightaway from Amazon -now just waiting for £16 for them! £10 from the works credited finally as well:)
4. Hang washing outside as its very windy so hopefully it should dry and save me using the radiators and tumble dryer for the towels - DONE and died so saved the tumbler !
5. Go through bank statement and check correct -DONE and all correct:)

Afternoon craftingmad! Wow well done on doing your tax return - I really need to tackle mine!!!

Here are my five for today:

1. Heating during the day on 14.5
2. List another item for sale on Facebook
3. NSD
4. Pension frog
5. Look at best deal for health insurance, calculating whether to increase or not

Time for me to wash-up, so heating can stay low!

Craftingmad, do you know how cold your house gets during the day? Hope not too chilly!!!

Good morning

Well I've still not got my car back from the garage :mad: but at least it will hopefully mean I can get another NSD in as I still can't go anywhere!

Here's my (hopefully) 5 a day for today:-

1. Reuse plates from breakfast for my daughter and I to save running the dishwasher as much (we have the same pain au chocolate and she always eats her later than mine) - DONE
2. NSD - DONE
3. Survive with no heating until kids home from school -DONE I rocked the dressing gown looked again and was toasty even in this cold spell
4. Sort out glitter tattoos ready for bookings at weekend - DONE all ready to go
5. Go through fridges and see if anything needs freezing to save wasting it

Oh I like this. Please can I join in ...it's great to actually feel like I'm doing something towards my goal, even if it's not always a big thing, it's something.

I think I will start tomorrow properly, as the kids are all at home today (Sunday) and as per usual I'm spending my day following them around, turning off lights and picking up left-behind objects! lol

Will make myself a little list to refer to I think....love this idea.

21st Jan

1. Leave heating off - our heating is programmed to come on 5-7.30am and then 5-7.30pm. Other than that I'm aiming to leave it off as much as possible. When it is on I'm hoping to keep the temp down at 19.

2. Sell my sewing machine - Already done this it's on FB Marketplace and on my own FB page too.

3. Check all my balances on my debts/bills and update my spreadsheet.

4. Check on my ebay sales and pack up ready to send when they finish tomorrow.

5. Make my shopping list for Thursday and decide if I'm doing the shopping online. If I am then I need to place the order tomorrow.

Morning all - oh afternoon! Catching up after the weekend. My list (I like reading other people's for inspiration):

1. List two items on Facebook
2. Start tax return !!
3. Check work expenses have been paid
4. Amend meal plan for week, coping with no more food shopping
5. Do some exercise

Have good Tuesdays everyone

Hi all, today so far I've:

1) Kept heating to 14.5
2) Stayed indoors all day, postponed lunch out

Will try and be more productive by the end of the day! How is everyone else doing?

This challenge is still in my thoughts and I loved the daily ideas!

Craftingmad come back soon :-)
