    Make a yummy Christmas type dinner with turkey I sliced up and froze and also the sausage and bacon rolls I got reduced.
    Cut Xmas cards up into tags.
    Making mince pies with what's left over form Xmas baking session.
    Making a home made meat and potato pie using up a tin of stewed steak and adding lots of potatoes.
    Going to local farm to buy a sack of spuds. It really is the best investment of the year as I have always got something in for tea e.g egg and chips (I've got 2 chooks) jkt spuds etc.

    Using vouchers from this site got a pack of Snack a Jacks and 4 bottles of Diet Coke (with vitamins) for free;
    Updated my Microsoft Money to account for the £250 cheque from Nationwide yesterday (although engine warning light now showing on car so may have to kiss goodbye to that money soon!);
    Parcelled up one Ebay item;
    Done another module in my French course (which may have money earning potential on the job front);
    Going to put a few more books on Readitswapit;
    About the start on clicks.

    One of the nasty side effects of being a moneysaver, I was horrified in Sainsburys to see a woman spend £70 on 'Be good to yourself' meals. There was only enough for about a weeks worth of lunch and dinner. I'm surprised my tongue isn't covered in blood given that I was biting it so hard to avoid saying, "You're spending HOW MUCH on ready made food, ya' crazy fool".
    Almost debt-free, but certainly even with the Banks!

    Same happened to me last night in Tesco! It pained me, it really did!

    Today, I have/will:-
    1. have written a shopping list and divided it into what we need today and what can wait until the end of the week when I do an online shop with Tesco using the £10 off voucher they kindly sent me.
    2. Take down the xmas tree - thus avoiding spending time online shopping or going into town.
    3. Contemplate batch cooking to supply HM ready meals for in the week
    4. Flick through magazines for comps and enter as many as poss.

    Right, off to Morrisons I go - with my £20 in vouchers from my parents ("to spend on xmas goodies".. just after I'd done an online shop with Tesco!).. :rolleyes:
  • Today I have/will:
