I put some old bottles of nail polish on ebay, (fancy Chanel, Clarins and Dior stuff my MIL gave me) and some old make-up i haven't used. Posted some stuff i sold on ebay/Amazon and am sorting out my debts and which order i should pay them. (Something i should have done ages ago!) It's all adding up and starting to freak me out!!! Also trying to make a weekly budget but it's pretty difficult....

Evening folks

Today I....

checked online banking
done piggy click and comps
washed at 30
rearranged DS1 bedroom and had a good clear out
bought Tesco own nbrand gloss for dadoe rail for £4 so i can take the Crown one back to B&Q for an £8 refund
used my £10 salon voucher from sister to get underarm wax which, BTW, is now throbbing. I think she has burned me cos i can't rest my arms closed properly and the left one looks like it's weeping a bit. It was the same girl i always use and i've have never experienced this before.
booked my hairdresser for a homer for friday

Haven't posted in these sort of threads before and feel quite inadequate reading all yours, but here goes...

• Switched from npower to npower (don't ask) saving us approx £25 per month for gas and electricity
• Cancelled repair plan for t/dryer (saving £4.99 per month)
• Cancelled mortgage protection cover as selling the house (saving £80 per month)
• Got landline restrictions lifted for 9 days so can actually use the phone :T
• Visited CAB and got motivated to do all this.

Sorry, just realised it said "small" thing you have done. I hope I haven't offended anyone by posting this - I'm just so proud of my first proper day MSEing.
As you can see, there are all the 'biggies' that everyone does at the beginning as the penny drops. However, the challenge will be to keep motivated which, I hope, I will be able to do.

Hi there

Love this thread, I find the small things that promote money saving lead to the big things. It was bad habits that got me in this mess in the first place so I need to retrain myself to adopt a frugal way of living.

What have I done today ?

• Made homemade soup, carrot and coriander, delicious
• Signed up to Abbey online credit card facility to keep a watchful eye on it
• Checked online bank account against my monthly budget
• Kept within my daily budget
• Checked handbags for mislaid gift vouchers and found a £12 credit note for B&Q, spent it on paint to give my bedroom a quick tart up

Happy saving !

Kim
