Comments

hello everyone (slowly peeps head around the door)
have been watching these daily threads for a while and thought i would finally join in, need lots of practice at doing dfw things..........
so today i am going to bake lots of biscuits and cakes with my bigger little one and freeze in batches so oh cant eat them all in one go,
going to have my tarot cards and palm read as a birthday pressie,
look out for a reply email from cow and gate (complained as there hungary baby milk made my little one poorly) and hope they offer some money off coupons.....
search the shops for the cheapest fabric paint and plain white teatowels for xmas pressies,
and finally put my reduced bread in the freezer so it keeps.
think thats about it, but reading your posts will give me some more ideas i suspect.

Morning all.
I did my christmas shopping last night at five past midnight on the m&s site... :rotfl:
It was good though and I count it as dfw as it reduced from £54 to £30.40, for nine presents - which means £3.37 per present.
Today I will be:
checking banking
eating my packed lunch
making deli cupcakes tonight
emailing the deli (which is closing down :mad: ) to ask when, exactly, I can expect October's payment
