MFW, What small thing have you done/ will you do today?

Today I have:

- signed up for 2 mystery shops :T
- sold a book on green metropolis, packed up ready to go tomorrow :T
- had confirmation from mortgage co that they have settled my dispute. £100 to be credited to my account :j , however on paper their error will cost me much more than that :mad: . But have found a way round it so it won't cost me anything :cool: . And their error has saved me around £1400 in last 2 years so can't really complain ...

'Wasted' £1.39 on cup of tea at airport as gasping. But did get it from Wetherspoons and got a free soda water at same time, so that's ok isn't it .

Snazzy - I'd ask at least what you paid for it. And then some.

Today I am off for a 3 day conference so wont have to spend anything on food drink etc infact company is giving me £50 cash to buy other people drinks for.

I shall also be doing the SkyBet Ascot offer for 2 x £20 before I leave and try to do the 2 x £10 one if I get the chance at the airport or hotel (sad or what)

Cat is feeling a lot better this morning so will cancel vet

Thats it really, will be hard to be without MSE for a whole 3 days......

Checked my ebay listings this morning - got bids totalling £10 which should cover my listing fees (every little helps!! )

Checked online banking - work expenses have come through, which I've already paid off on my credit card. Normally I would think "Cool, extra cash! What can I spend it on..?" - this time made an overpayment straight away.

NSD planned - Done

Brought in lunch (salad, smoked mackerel, potatoes, cannellini beans :A )
Organised meeting for in office rather than at coffee shop
Other meeting re-arranged by other party so now I can get free shuttle bus not drive (need refill soon )
Will do clicks tonight having been through the latest list of free Quidco stuff last night

Snazzy

NSD for me today. Brought in lunch (leftover tea) and strawberries. I did wimp out on the cycling though when I saw the rain so drove into work.

Piggy click done.

This evening I will look into opening the Halifax regular saver account. My car loan has finished but I want to keep up the monthly payment so I have a chunk of money ready for if/when I need to replace my car. Not strictly MFW but it's all part of the grand plan. I re-did my budget the other night and I think I can afford the £500 mortgage overpayment plus this and still increase the savings for my new kitchen.

NSD and NPD. Entered 2 competitions. In the slow process of sorting out my budget

Today I have:

-Taken a packed lunch today, selflessly using up some yummy left over pasta
-Had a NSD
-Entered some comps
-Will resist a visit to the chippy tonight and have a home cooked meal instead
-Sent emails to my mum who is holidaying in the States instead of texting or calling.

Have a wonderful day everyone!

Busy MSE day for me:

Posted ebay & Green Metropolis parcels

Did mystery shop (yikes, haven't done results yet)

Booked hotel for work next week, 2000 piggy points

Done a payday loan on quidco - borrow £80, payback £100 (APR of over 800%!!!!!!!!:eek: ), but £70 cashback, so £50 profit. 100% tracking reliabilty & Sureshop, so hopefully will be ok.

Withdrew £50 from paypal (although £21 will be going to credit card and balance to NY fund so no mortgage money )

Will be doing some comps later.

Week more than 1/2 way done folks :T

Spent a few spare minutes at work yesterday writing a "Target list" for things to do this week, and then a longer term plan of where we want to be with paying off the car loan early, putting cash aside to make next car a cash purchase or as close as possible to it, and then starting to make serious headway on the mortgage.
I've joined Quidco and booked a couple of Travelodge's I had to sort out through there - also bought new memory cards for my camera via their links. All those have tracked already so at least I know they know about them!
Done a good proportion of the no spend deals on quidco thanks to Drea's thread on freebies board. Nice to see the balance mounting up!
OH rang the mortgage company today to tweak our overpayment up by another £30 a month. Each time we gain a bit of money we weren't expecting it goes onto the mortgage payment - this time round it was as a result of the government messing around with the tax bands....thanks Gordon!
I've worked out exactly how much we need to save each month in order to meet the deadline for paying off the loan - amazing how much motivation seeing the required figures on paper gives you! OH said "We'll never be able to save THAT much!" when he saw my calcs, but I reckon we can....I hate being wrong so here goes!
Sticking with the Don't Throw Food away challenge on the OS board - our fridge has never looked so empty! Makes such a difference planning your meals and then buying just what you need. There is a sausage casserole in the SC ready to turn on tomorrow morning, and then Friday is shopping day.
