Today was a mixed one, had to tak eanother day off work so thats £70 i have lost this week, it goes towards my monthly total when i get paid on friday too :mad:
Went shopping and spent £147 to stck up the freezer and the cupboard, (actually £50 was cashback to pay the childminder and electric meter)
I work till 5 and hubby leaves to work nights at 5.30, not great i know but the only thing we could think of to reduce our childminding costs, this leaves an evening meal together 4 nights a week impossible, we both end up spending money at work on food, he bakes it (pasties) and i sell food where i work so its quite tempting!
Today i bought a large loaf of bread and a big bag of sausages, this will save me £2 a day on a sandwich at work, have been good and frozen 2 slices and 2 sausages in bags, hehe
I have also cooked up a load of meals and frozen them in tin foil containers, this way we can both eat and not have to spend out at work, i can even take mine there to cook it if i feel the need!
Bought all the BOGOFs and the deals and actually ended up saving almost £18 on the bill that way too! was shocked at the total but when i look at it rationally it will save us goin out and buying bits and pieces for a while, means we wont be tempted by other things as well
:rolleyes: did get a deal on 6 bottles of wine for £20 as well, doubt that will last long tho as we never go out anymore! :beer:
Have earned about £15 txting and just over £1 from quidco and onepoll today as well! well thats me for today, will update my sig when i know i wont be doin anymore for this evening£10 a day challenge for nov £0/£300
£10 a day challenge for jan £282.11/£310, feb £483/£290, mar £650/£310, apr £332/£300, may £440/310, jun £470/£300 jul £795/£310 aug £3660/£310, sept £510/300 oct £710/£310
£2012 in 2012 £8182.88/£2012 :beer::T0 -
Today I did all the usual things like the clicks (Pigsback stinks atm), no heating & store cupboard meals.
I tried to do a VoP survey but was rejected 30% through - no surprise there with VoP!
Cleaned the kitchen - well it kept me warm.
Have the washing on now, so can dry overnight on the cooling radiators.
OH went to Mr T's with a short list, and came back with 3 till spits worth 145 points in total, for things we can use, so will add £5.80 in deals to our total next week - will be used for a holiday next year I hope.
Counted the 'found money' box = £2 in January! Hope February will be as profitable!I can cook and sew, make flowers grow.0 -

Since posting earlier, I used the coupon from the paper I got free from work for an Only Fools and Horses double bill on DVD. Got 4 or 5 books from the libary (in particular, one I considered buying but thought 'no, I'll wait and see') and put 60p of small change into my massive piggybank.Almost debt-free, but certainly even with the Banks!0

Yay - Friday night :jno work for 2 whole days!!!
Managed a few dfw style things today -
* Bought The Daily Telegraph for the half price zizzi voucher. OH & I go there quite a bit so be nice to go out for a meal & only pay half for our main meals
* Done my daily clicks!!! Is it just me or has pigsback lately had no 5piggy points clicks
* Staying in tonight so no money spent on drink!!! :T0 -
Aargh! Just lost my post! Is anyone else finding this site reaaallllly slow at times tonight, or is it just me

Today I have:- washed three loads of washing and am drying them over radiators, airers, bannisters and chairbacks - looks like they'll be dry by morning
- ate leftover dinner from last night for lunch today
- had storecupboard dinner tonight as per mealplan, and stretched it to feed ds's friend too
- didn't go shopping - that would have involved a long drive over mountain roads in frozen hail - not too DFW if I wreck my car!
I'm an adult and I can eat whatever I want whenever I want and I wish someone would take this power from me.
