Panelbase £10 minimum I think

Morning all!

Today I have/will:

• Check banks 
• Use charity bag as bin liner
• Use up last of abandoned shower gel, toothpaste etc  
• Snap a receipt I found in my bag 
• Make lunch to take to work 
• Re-use sandwich bag
• Try to fill up with LPG on way home *
• May need to pop to shop for something for dinner - OH has had an upset stomach so the bean chilli I'd planned may not be suitable today (its one I made previously and froze and has a bit of a kick!)
• Snap any receipts  
• Continue gift crocheting 

* I tried yesterday - didn't manage to fill up but did manage to get a nozzle stuck in my car (I have a nozzle to screw in, not the actual fuel hose) and had to go to the garage where I bought the car (fortunately very close by) to get them to undo it as I couldn't close my petrol cap! Two guys thought they could given that I am a 5'1" female but even they couldn't unscrew it and they had to get a tool to take it off!!! So wish me better luck today! 

Feels like a short list today, but I will try to think of other things I can do to save 1p/ not waste 1p (that's my new little thought process I'm trying to instill when carrying out all tasks). 

Hope you all have a good day.

Afternoon everyone

Shopping/Meal plans - I would go through cupboards, fridge, freezer and make a list of everything I had and then see what meals I can make with what I already have, or just buy odd bits to make meals.  Batch cook and freeze bases - mince for example which can be turned into shepherds pie, chilli, bolognaise, small portions could be made into lunch.  If you have regular takeaways how about having a fakeaway instead.  

Surveys - Attapoll, MSR, Prolific

Same old, same old for me but every little does help, todays plans:

Check Bank & make PAD - Done
Wait for buyer to collect tumble drier -
Tea in SC -
Ironing - 
Swagbucks - 
Re-share referral codes (every little helps)
Enter a few comps - 
Purge a few emails - 
Read -  
All meals from cupboards/fridge/freezer - 
Check: PMP, WinaDinner, Freejackpot (referral available £1 giftcard when you sign up, free daily draws and a mega monthly draw) 

Have a good day!

Hi guys 

Me again! More meal planning @Deb4 and @jadewest94

Today’s is pork casserole - bit of a cheat though as I bought a SC pack from Aldi complete with sauce. No real cooking required  Anyway, it’s keeping me away from take aways so far…  

Walking the dog at lunchtime - bit of free exercise 

Taking something back for a refund before I forget and get charged! 

I applied for a new internal job recently but didn’t get it, so I’ve started applying for external jobs, got an interview lined up for next week and also conversations ongoing with my current boss about not being happy on my current project etc. Will see where that all leads. Changing times! 

Booked a UK holiday with money already saved. 

Will sort YNAB in a bit, see where we are… 

Hope everyone is doing ok. Catch up tomorrow.
