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

EssexHebridean

Still chipping away at it - over the past little while we have:

Sold nine out of ten items listed on eBay - somewhere close to £60 in total.

Bought our good food show tickets using our clubcard tokens - we would have gone anyway but were waiting to see if the NEC would send us a money off deal - doing it this was has cost us £10 for the two of us to go rather than about £40 - thanks to the poster on the OS board who alerted me to this one! :T

Found a deal via facebook to get my next years desk calendar for £1.50 from photobox. Yes, I know I ought to have done it as a present for someone but a girl has to have some treats!

I am oh-so-nearly at my next Pigsback voucher - racecaller points should tip me over the balance once they are added - I will order the voucher straight away once those get put on. Am torn between Boots and Waterstones at the moment.

We had chicken for lunch yesterday - I stripped the remaining meat off the carcass straight away and then cooked the bones for stock - five pots of it! We will have chicken risotto tomorrow with some of the meal, one pot of stock and some fennel from this weeks veg box. The rest of the meat will get cooked inton a curry again.

Today I have leftovers for lunch. Yesterday I found an expensive shirt in the street in the gutter randomly. It was my boyfriends size so I took it home and soaked it in stain remover (it had a few little marks on it) and now it's good as new. I did look aroundly suspiciously in case anyone saw me behaving like a skank though

What small MFW thing have I done this week? Well, I have...

- cycled to Aldi, used a list, fitted it all in panniers and only spent £29

- bought some shirts for hubby for work on 3 for £1 rail at local charity shop.

- cooked a turkey on sunday (organic reduced from £21 to £8) made sarnies for kids packed lunch, then roast spuds, cold turkey and salad on Monday, Tuesday had turkey carbonara, today is turkey curry so it fed us for 4 days.

- turkey stock made soup for me and OH will finish today.

Today we:
= Resisted going to our favourite restaurant for lunch and ate at home instead,
= Sorted out a pile of stuff to go on ebay in a declutter mood,
= Rounded down the mortgage online, albeit by a VERY small amount!

Yay, I was thinking of reviving this thread but someone has beaten me to it! I've been very lax since Christmas about taking my lunch to work and had too many unnecessary takeaways:o .

Today I have
- done a menu plan for the week and made my sandwiches for work tomorrow.
- got my clothes ready so I can cycle to work tomorrow

Yesterday I finally made the spare bedroom habitable - one step closer to finally getting a lodger, only 18 months after I started talking about it...

Booked car hire via quidco, £29 cashback to go to the OP pot

I've brought my lunch in two days in a row and cycled to work yesterday. I did my food shopping on the way home yesterday and spent the least I've done in ages because I did a menu plan and was on the bike so couldn't carry much! Maybe that's the way forward?

I've brought my lunch in for the third day in a row! Things are looking up.

Slightly non-MFW but I've booked a weekend away with my OH (we've got to live a little;) ) and I've found a lovely looking B&B that was doing a special offer in Jan/Feb and have managed to get it for not much more than Youth Hostel prices:j .
