    OOh, don't forget free online bingo at gala bingo today. I have bought my tickets and am hoping for a win whilst at work.

    Hi all.

    Today I have:

    -done my piggy clicks
    -spent 6.04 on toiletteries but can get 4 pounds from inputting on consumer pulse
    -doing a ms for 5 pounds afterwork.
    -done a few onepoll surveys
    -having dinner at OHs parents
    -worked out that I pay roughly 1.6p per second in interest on my flat- if that doesn't motivate me to hammer down that I don't know what will!
    Debt Free - done
    Mortgage Free - done
    Building up the pension pot

    Morning All :wave:
    Rainy here, but I'm hoping it'll brighten up this afternoon.
    Today I shall/will:
    • Brought in my lunch (4th day in a row :D )
    • Another NSD - though may have to get cat food......
    • PC's done
    • Done my On-line banking, and should be able to pay off the 0% cc in time in August (can't find a fingers crossed piccy) AND pay for DS2's school trip.
    • pay in cheque from shares (hence previous commitment!)
    • post an e-bay parcel
    • list 12 more of Popeyes toys on e-bay at 5p listing fee :money:
    • make fish pies to use up some of the milk lake I've acquired, using ingredients I already have.
    Can I just recommend an OS challenge that I've been doing? It is to do with not wasting food. I've had amazing and inventive meals using up stuff that could easily have been thrown. (eg an assortment of going off fruit turned into a crumble that the kids ADORED. Though they wouldn't eat the peaches and plums that had gone over the top, they did when they'd been cooked :rotfl: )

    Hi O O,
    some good ideas on that thread for inspiration:D
    Foodstuffs have to be in a late stage of decomposition before they get thrown out in this house:rolleyes: and even then they usually only get as far as the compost bin:D
    Reduce,re-use, recycle.






  • Hi, what are piggy clicks and online surveys?
    The good you do comes back to you.

    Evening all. Just getting into my eBay posting. Not been a great DFW day for me today as I ended up going to Boots to get my Mum a birthday present. On the plus side they were giving out little miniatures of Nivea for Men for Fathers Day so OH can have that.....

    Today I have/ will:
    • Posted tons of stuff on eBay at the bargain price of 5p per listing.
    • Checked for MS
    • Done Pigsback clicks.
    • Dinner from freezer
    • Been to the gym, which in my head makes my membership cheaper per visit- I know it's not exactly DFW.....
    I think that's it. Definitely won't be spending anymore today:o .

    Hi Everyone,

    Very simple today.
    - No spending of money.
    - Food from cupboards and fridge.
    - Checked online banking and I'm still in credit.

    Take care y'all
