Monday 14/04/08 What small dfw things have you done today??

andan

Afternoon all, well just got back from visiting the family, so now back to the dfw way of life, starting with a store cupboard meal and resisting buying a chinese, especially as i can't afford it!

Other dfw things for today:
-Bought a meal deal whilst waiting for the training rather than buying expensive food whilst on the train.
-Have looked for mystery shops but none found as yet
-Hope to do some more surveys later
-Haven't put the heating on all day and hoping to keep it off until its necessery to put it on
-Place a matched bet
-Send off train ticket for mystery shop
-Check through emails
-Have checked online banking, not looking good!
-Get up to date with all my challenges.

Thats it for me i think, whilst i try and get up to date with everything. Have a good evening everyone.

Falady, sorry to hear about your job interview, did they give you an explanation or are they planning to rearrange it?

Hello everyone, I have never posted here before, but feel the need in order to spur on my debt clearing, so today I have,

• done a mystery shop
• looked after two children (not my own) for 3 hours
• left over chicken for dinner - in the form of sweet and sour chicken
• ebayed my first item (of many).

Onwards and upwards, have made a firm resolution now that despite my DFD of 2011, I am going to make £5,000 by christmas and clear this last debt:eek: .

Evenin' All,

Today I've been to work and in fact am still here! That's by choice as I can sneakily be on MSE here or I'd be at home fighting with the kids for the PC.

How're you doing taxi73, if i remember you weren't well a little while ago. Good to see your'e still not smoking.
I've had to fork out £2 today for my tea for work this week but the rest of the week should be NSD's.

A very good DFW day for me today! I am currently working my four weeks notice, and to use up my holiday I am working a four day weeek so day off for me today! Hurrah!

Anyway, enough gloating (can you tell I am pleased to be leaving?) and back to the question in hand:

• Checked online banking (although not too keen on what I saw )
• Went for a free gym and swim trial- not sure whether or not to rejoin a gym after I let me membership lapse when I hurt my back- it's not exactly DFW but on the other hand it does keep me out of the shops and is a hobby. Still before I decide there are at least four more gyms near me offering free trials;)
• Switched home insurance (currently with my employer and will lose discount when I leave)- saved 50% oer month plus got £75 cashback through quidco (so really saved 75%). Very pleased.
• Breakfast, lunch and dinner from cupboards. Also knocked up a delicious ginger sponge and custard for pudding and made a batch of rolls for lunches for the rest of the week.
• Sorted out lots of suits that I will no longer need in new job which I will eBay- will write descriptions tonight but can't list yet as still need to wear for another couple of weeks!

Think that's it- back to work tomorrow unfortunately but I am in a very DFW frame of mind and feeling good for a low spend week.

GISI:D

:grouphug: Sending you a hug Tallie, you sound really fed up today. Some days you feel like you aren't making any progress,:wall: but overall you are:D it's about changing your attitude to money more than anything and you ARE doing that. Try and stick at it, hopefully you will have a better day tomorrow:D
In the meantime if you need to vent, we are all here to listen.
take care

Hey tallie, sorry to hear your having a rubbish day, have you tried doing surveys, bit quicker than piggie points. Check out the up your income board for some ideas. Hope your dark cloud lifts soon and have a nice soak in the bath for some 'me' time to make you realise its worth it in the end. Trust me, we all have those days.

Hello All,

I am back on the DFW and NSD train!

So, today I have

• had breakfast at home
• took lunch into work
• checked for any MS jobs ~ nothing
• will make lunch for work tomorrow
• went to Mr T's with mum, and didn't spend anything. Mum paid for it all incl ham for sandwiches for the week, and if I am lucky, I might forget to give her the change (about 30p)

Take care everyone, and I will try for another NSD tomorrow
