Having a mixed day today!
Weather is cold - I had the heating on for a little while thi morning but have tried not to put it on in the day (it is on timer and I am trying not to over ride it!) It is due back on anytime now - which is just as well cos my 6 year old is refusing to take his coat off in the house (do you think i'm cruel? lol)
I made veggie soup with all the left over veg in the fridge, and bolognaise for dinner from the freezer and store cupboard (more because i can't face ASDA with the kids than good moneysaving - but it all helps!)
The 2 younger kids are busy making Christmas cards - I will give these to family - save me buying spacial cards! made with love and lots of glitter!
BUT I had to pay out £70 for a man to come and clear the drains - they were totally blocked! I could cry!

Hi all,

I’m a bit earlier than usual but can’t be bothered getting out of bed after I got into it about 45mins ago. It’s freezing and it’s at least warmish in bed!

Andan – nice long list J

My dfw thing for today:

• Received free sample matter box in the post, a free bottle of shower gel (put away) and a choc bar (half eaten by us), little cloth for wiping cds/dvds put away for DH’s Xmas hamper
• Put cheque into bank
• Brought Sun paper with free Sun paper voucher
• Listed 1 item on Ebay
• Did mutual points e-mail click through
• Got Loreal mailings and 5 x £1 off coupons in total
• Also 2 x Loreal mini sachet samples
• Put aside DH pair of Next shorts which are now to big for him (which he has only worn once!) for Ebaying next year
• Paid our council tax (I always worry about forgetting/paying late)
• 2 lots of washing done (30/40 deg), now drying indoors

That’s all I can think of.

I've not done a great deal today towards DFW really. I did go to work as I had a largish commercial job booked in and I earnt very well from it. After finishing that, I took my friend's son to his school Christmas fair and messed up a little bit by spending about £12 on him. However, I will make sure that there will be no more such spending for the rest of this month to bring me back on track - although I do have an Xmas prezzie to buy for about £50. Will just have to be frugal in other ways. The budget I set myself for Xmas prezzies was £100 and I will be just within that.

I'd say the most dfw thing I've done is get a spreadsheet put on my phone to track things - just one more to do for a daily spending diary now.

I also updated my signature, joined the £10 a day in December as well.

I made a large trip for a football match that had been postponed due to bad weather costing about £20 in petrol, but spent the time catching up with family instead;
Was bought lunch on Saturday by my Mum while we were out;
She's offered to buy my old PC from me giving me some cash towards a new one.

Right things to do today -

Go shopping - will try to do a quick list
Fill car up at supermarket (if i go to sainsburys they are doing 5p off per litre - but thier prices are a bit dearer for food I think - so not sure what to do!)
Come home - tidy up - we have been making Chrsitmas cards so house is like a glitter fest!
Make roast chicken for dinner
Do homework with kids
Put up Christmas tree when DD1 comes home this evening
Working night shift tonight - will be exhausted before I even get there!:eek:
Want to try to make a list of goals for 2009 - if i get a quiet spell at work tonight!

Number one - get debt free!!!!:T

Have a good day all x
