  • Not anything close to a NSD but have done a few good things.

    -Washing dried on line and just finished in tumble dryer (5 min)
    -Listed nine items on ebay- two sold already- yay!
    -Used three £5 No 7 vouchers in Boots for Mother's Day Gifts
    -Made Engagement Congrats card rather than bought one
    -Made a meal planner for week and shopping list from this- spent £17 rather than £40 we used to spend each week (I seriously cannot believe how much we save doing this and then doing a 'big' shop once every 6-8 weeks online for washing powder etc)
    -Sort out some more goodies for eBay.

    Good luck to all other DFW.

    - phoned London & County (as recommended in Martin's remortgaging guide) to ask for the best deal on a remortgage they can find me
    - phoned my current lender to see if they can match or better what London & County offered me!
    - storecupboard lunch and teas (althugh nothing for me for tea as I'm in agony with toothache so just had ice cream!)
    - didn't put heating on this afternoon, despite being freezing!
    - updated spreadsheets
    - checked online banking
    - paid in cheque for £50 that I won via GFK draw
    - Used £1 coupon in ASda when buying bits

    Today I have:

    ~ done piggyclicks and checked for surveys (none! :mad:)
    ~ taken lunch to work and made dinner from storecupboard/fridge (but not a NSD as needed catfood, and also bought a Mother's Day card - but both were needed so it wasn't like I wasted money on frivolous stuff! ;))
    ~ bought 2 copies of the Evening Standard @ 50p each... Never buy it usually, but today they were giving away a large bottle of Dentyl mouthwash with it (usual shop price nearly £3) and it is the preferred mouthwash of Mr P, so I bought one from one seller and then bought another from a different one! Well, it will save me money in the long run... :p
    ~ got 2 free cinema tickets for my parents from Seefilmfirst.com. There were no tickets available at my local cinema, but there were some left for the cinema nearest to them, so they are off to see The Bank Job for free next week. :D

    Think thats it for today... :rolleyes:
