  • Hello Everyone :hello:

    I love this thread - I find it so inspiring and helps me keep to my DF path! This is actually the first time I've posted on this thread but I hope to be a regular contributor. . .

    Today I have/will
    • Had my free breakfast at work (I keep a large box of weetabix in my drawer and use the milk provided by work! Then a small drizzle of honey over the top - Yum yum!)
    • Brought in sandwiches from home
    • Charging my mobile at work
    • Have started a new book so as not to be tempted to buy a magazine - one of my biggest vices - eeeek!
    • Check bank account
    • Check Experian report
    • Made a PAD - £2.50 - I love that thread too :j
    My DH and I are due to go out for dinner tonight with my brother and his girlfriend but I think they are planning on paying :T so there's another freebie!

    That's all for now. A very grey/foggy day here in London. . .roll on Spring time.

    Happy days everyone!

  • Welcome to the board LollyLou

    Great idea about keeping the Weetabix at work and using their milk! I never get up in time for brekkie and I am trying to get into work 1/2 hour a day earlier to do DFW stuff before work so I could do the breakfast thing as they pay for the milk here too. Thanks for the tip :beer:
  • Thanks debt free me! I can't eat breaky as soon as I get up - it makes me feel pretty awful if I do so I find that by the time I get to work, I'm feeling peckish. Plus it means I use their milk - and not mine!! :o)
  • Someone actually keeps Frosties in the kitchen too, hmmm....tempting.... No I would get caught and I suppose that is mean :rotfl:
