Hi all.
Yesterday I spent only 30p (can't do without my newspaper)
Cleaned kitchen top to bottom
Danced for 45mins to MTV dance (why buy an excercise dvd when there's music channels?)

Today I will/have done
Spent only 30p
Cleaned the bathroom
Made meals to go in freezer
Put change into sealed tub
Done a load of washing - on clothes horse, not tumble dried.

You know what? Just typing this stuff has made me feel really good about saving! Two days, spending only 60p total? Makes me really think about the people that eat in Subway or Greggs daily for lunch! omg!!!

I have no debts except the mortgage, but hubby and me have our own challenge...
Save 10k into our ISAs, then start trying for a baby!
Until then, we can just practise!!!

Hello everyone especially SM - hope you are feeling better

Today I have
:j checked online banking an dupdated spreadsheets
:jstorecupboard tea
:jpaid two bills but they were planned for
:j....struggling to find many more for today :rolleyes:

Finding work/life balance very difficult at the moment but I am thankful I have a job and do feel for all of you who have lost yours and are finding it difficult to find another.
Wan to be all OS with a pinny and rosy cheeks with the smell of apple pie and a clean and tidy house but unfortunately doesn't quite feel like that. Very grateful for lovely DS's and am slightly, but only slightly, less cross with OH today.

Enjoy the rest of your day everyone
Belle
