Mother's day 2/03/08 What small dfw thing have you done today???

MERFE

Today I will/have

done daily clicks (courtesy of the kids who thought a good mothers day present is to spend more time with them so got me up at 5am)

Cook massive roast dinner for my mum rather than a present and all at half price thanks to sainsburys reduced items on friday.

make all family phone calls via landline which is free at weekends so catch up with anyone I need to.

Morning all, hope all you mums are being spoiled rotten!

Bathgate buyer, excellent new on the Sainsbury's visa charges back.

Flutterbyuk25, well done on all the sales on amazon and play, have never sold on Play but may need to check them out!

Well, have a bit of a hangover this morning, but did it dfw style by drinking at a friends house so a very cheap evening!

My dfw things for today are:-
-Place some more matched bets DONE AND IN PROCESS OF DOING MORE
-Look for some more jobs to apply for LOOKED FOR JOBS AND HAVE FOUND ANOTHER ONE TO APPLY FOR.
-Look for some more bookies to sign up with SIGNED UP TO ONE NEW BOOKIE
-Do any surveys i've received
-Do daily clicks
-Sort out finances for this month
-Check online banking
-Use store cupboard meals today
-Have a nsd
-Pay bills that i didn't get round to paying yesterday
-Do some studying and practice massaging (both leading to better job and more money)
-Clean the house (clean house leads to better productivity!)
-Use price comparison sites to find a new microwave, then hopefully go through Quidco to buy it.
Use price comparison sites to find things for my new business. BOUGHT MY OILS AT A GOOD PRICE.

Have a good day everyone and enjoy this glorious Sunday.

Thanks! Only took 3 recorded delivery letters - now the balance of the card is down to £1600 while it was once at £6K :eek: The biggest DF step I have taken is reclaiming these charges. If anyone still hasn't done this, please do it. With 3 letters, I've knocked 30% off the remaining balanc of the card.

Nothing mega today but will try my best:

~Use £1 off coupon to buy Observer
~Relist unsold items on eBay
~Review Amazon items to see if lowest price, revise as necessary

Not a lot else as have family coming this afternoon so that will take up most of my day!

Happy Mother's Day everybody.

Afternoon all!

• Checked internet banking, no unexpected/forgotten activity, therefore no need to update Spreadsheet.
• Posted on this thread for the 16th day in a row.
• Checked Quidco, and the £45 from E-Sure yesterday has tracked and is scheduled for payment in June.
• Bought Mother's Day cards from Corner Shop instead of supermarket and paid 99p each (They would have been more in the Supermarket).
• Did a Kelkoo Click whilst I was on Quidco website, it's only 2p but it's better in my pocket than theirs.
• Put some copper in my purse into my pint pot.
• Spent £1.77 less on MIL's mother's day present than I expected to.
• Was sorely tempted to buy a paper in the corner shop but forced myself not to (saving 70p)
• Wrote out shopping list for Farm Foods and Tesco. Went to FF and only put in trolley what was on my list!

Hello everyone

For my Mothers Day present my OH and 2 teenage sons are making the Sunday Roast Dinner. They have never attempted such a challenge (I do it everyweek).

We are having Roast Chicken with roast Pots, veg and Yorkshire puds.

This is what we would usually be having anyway so cost for present =£0.

Slightly worried though as I had to point out that the giblet bag needed removing as they were about to put it in the oven and OH thought that it would only take 20mins to cook - I had to tell him that it was 20 min per 500g + extra 20mins.

I am trying really hard not to intervene but I really dont want to be ill either!

I've filled in the form and posted the letter to Sainsburys agreeing to a refund of over £600 worth of Visa charges they sent yesterday;
Bought some groceries which be enough for lunches for the coming week to save me buying anything in the canteen.

Excellent result:j :j :j
