What small DFW things will you do this week - w/c 23rd April?

Thank you 1Luckylady and DawnW for the hello I keep dipping in and out of MSE so I apologise if I disappear, but I do find it helps me to be accountable somewhere. That said today wasn't the most productive MSE wise. So far.

I've typed a new do do list for the upcoming month to help me not forget MSE ways. Tonight my plan is:

- Post to do list in my diary as a reminder.
- Try and find or register for boots points card.
- Check Tesco Clubcard points.
Check freezer and take out something for dinner tomorrow as a step towards defrosting it!
- put the bag of items to sell and refund tomorrow aside ready for tomorrow's tasks.

Morning all
Me again!
Up pretty early, had breakfast, emptied dishwasher, started shopping list etc, have lots to do, so thought it would help me be more organised if I did a list now rather than later!

Washing out on line
Dry washing to be folded and put away Done
Sink full of washing up, things that can't go in the DW, or that the DW for some reason did not get clean Must clean the filters and run it empty to clean it through I think! Not done yet
Go to market in next town to buy veg, also visit flea market Done
Small shop needed - couldn't get everything in Icyland yesterday Not done, decided there isn't anything I can't live without till tomorrow!

Call in to brother's flat on way back, drop in his shopping and run hoover over carpet Done
Leftover chilli for lunch Done
Pack 2 ebay sales, and list a couple more items Done
Repot tomato plants and sort out big pots if the weather is reasonably pleasant (looks ok atm) Repotted tomatoes and chillis, sowed parsnips outside, and cucumber, courgettes, summer squash, broad beans (by mistake) and climbing Fench beans in the greenhouse Still haven't sorted those big pots though!

Morning everyone

Welcome to the newbies, it's a great thread that def keeps me on the straight and narrow, and accountable!
SunnySam my DD has just finishing her first year at uni but when taking her BF shopping, has been showing him the £/kg. He was just someone who would randomly throw stuff in his basket before he met DD and now works out his approx. spending on food each week.

Talking of DD BF, he is in self catered accommodation and loves his cooking. Spotted some Nandos sauces half price in Boots clearance from Christmas. Used my points to order them, when I picked them up on Monday on opening the box they had leaked everywhere-fortunately in the boots packaging.. Took them back where B@@ts sorted out replacements. Picked up yesterday while in town, everything good.
Coaching this morning without much of a voice-must remember to take my whistle!

Still aching after the weekend......must remember not to tell pain clinic......they will not be impressed......and I'm training again Saturday........needs must...but it is a charity event!

Went to do breakfast this morning and found I had run out of bread......eating DDs left over cocoa pops, that she opened and left when last home. Trying to follow foxgloveswith no food wastage.

Just about to start cat cleaning, will have a quick cuppa first.

Banking all checked, everything good
This afternoon.....must do some housework, house badly needs it
Have a great day everyone x

Hello everyone,
I love this thread and make sure I keep up to date every day even though I struggle to find time to post!

I have been in a bit of a funk recently with one thing and another and this thread has help keep me focussed. I did a little reccy today and I have paid off £4184 off my debt so far this year - including my mortgage I now owe a total of £283,521 - my goal is to move house this year and be debt and mortgage free after that with a lovely simple life.

I set myself budgets for fuel and food this year - looked at what I had paid last year and set them accordingly - I have spent £600 less on food than I did to this point last year and I am on point with my fuel budget - both of these things I am thrilled with.

I am still following the 16:8 and trying to do without bread. I have average 35% of spend free days since the start of 2018 and I have earned almost £190 on various survey sites - I set myself a target of 150 Swagbux per day to earn and this means I have earned about a fiver a week on Amazon vouchers - I am bigger Amazon user so Swagbux pays for this without me worrying about finding the cash from my weekly budgets.

I have started to de-clutter as my house has recently gone on the market and I have worked Freecycle so hard!! I helped furnish a lady's flat - she had been homeless for 4 months and had just been given a one bedroom flat - she saved me the cost of removing items which won't fit in my new place and she has some ace quality items for her new home.

I am glad the weather has started to perk up, I have got back into my garden and worked hard. It's mindful being in my garden - all the hard work planting my tulips and daffodil bulbs last year have paid off and my garden looks really colourful.

I wish everyone well in their debt free journey and hope you all have a great weekend

((hugs))

Morning all
Up at stupid o'clock because I couldn't sleep
Have loads to do today, and just know I will be really tired later
Anyway, onwards.
I need to:
Put meat etc in SC for a pie filling
Prep some of the veg I bought yesterday
Go shopping
Post office with ebay sales and RM surveys stuff
Read meters and enter readings on Ovo's web site. I am a bit late doing this for April - they normally send an email reminder, but haven't this month. Trying to make people have one of their bloomin smart meters I suppose. Well, I am not going to :mad:
Go over to my brother's to make sure he lets the housing officer in after lunch. He has hurt his back, finds getting up difficult and isn't bothering to get up to answer the door or his phone :mad: He lives about 8 miles or so away, and it is a chore going there every day atm. Hope he is better soon and goes back to work!
Make him a meal while there - will have to take ingredients as he hasn't texted me his shopping list as we arranged, apart from **!! cigarettes :mad:
Come back and do a meal here, unless I can persuade OH to do it - now there's a plan!

Far too many :mad: this morning!
