    Trying to keep DF, as money is currently tight here, so this week we ate a big frog and got V1rgin to reduce the cost of our internet. They offer fibre broadband without a phone line now and who needs a phone line these days if you have a mobile (and so much can be done online too)?

    Frighteningly, as we were out of contract, the new deal saves about £180 for the year! :eek: I had no idea you could cancel your phone line and still get broadband, so this might be relevant for other people who use fibre broadband with them?

    I'm also back on surveys and ordered another £10 from swag this week. Anyone got any other good sites they like? I used to love VO but they seem to be rubbish on the phone and I like being able to do surveys on the go.

    There are a number of things I would like to have, so I am saving my vouchers and trying to decide what I want most off my personal wish list. I miss having the cash to get a few things, but I have decided to treat OH to some new socks with some of my voucher money. I hope they will be a pleasant surprise.

    Other small things are:
    * getting reduced salad leaves in the supermarket - 2 bags for under 50p made a great dinner yesterday.
    * growing herbs in the garden to save buying them (kinda MSE in the end I hope but I have to get the plants first). Frankly this is also good for me and I hope DH by giving us a nice garden to look at.
    * mixing my plant purchases between more expensive garden centre treats for unusual plants and the Aldi/Lidl/B&M etc cheaper stores where I can.

  • Hi everyone, just catching up on news. I now have breadmaker envy!!
    I'm working all weekend at an event - it is mainly outdoors so we are wading through mud and dodging heavy downpours! I guess it is good from an MSE perspective as i don't have time to spend and we get food vouchers for meals. I'm having another NSD today as i won't be home till this evening and i'll be straight onto iplayer to catch up on Killing Eve before collapsing into bed :)
    I'm sticking well to my budget and got paid for my self employment on Friday - early - so will be well in credit by payday which I never was last year. This Forum has really helped to keep me on track :)
    Just one query - i know loads of abbreviations but what is YNAB please?
    Hope everyone is keeping dry and well
