    Hey guys, am feeling better today, thanks for asking.

    Sending hugs to all those people who are a little fed up or feeling a bit poorly, sounds like quite a few people not feeling themselves today.

    Bit of an odd day for me today, will be meeting up with old friend later but not sure what time she's coming round, also have to pick OH up from city and ferry port, so will have to treck out there, but not sure what time yet!!

    So, things for today:
    -Have done daily scratch cards
    -Have put lose change in pot
    -i have done some boring household jobs
    -I have sorted out gift vouchers i will be selling later
    -I have organised someone to let me do pregnancy massage on them, so that will soon be on its way and i will be able to add it as a treatment soon.
    -Have been drinking lots of water instead of going to buy pop
    -checked business emails and web site optimisation
    -Will continue using up old beauty products
    -Will sort out stuff for boring course tomorrow
    -Check online banking
    -Organise book to post
    -Make meals from storecupboard
    -Keep heating off as long as poss
    -Have looked for mystery shops
    -Spend lots of free and lovely time with my OH,

    Have a great evening everyone and a great start to the weekend.

    Hello All:hello:

    Hope you don't mind me joining this thread. I've been lurking for a couple of days and hope it will help keep me focused.

    So here is my list of small DFW things to do today

    Found out free samples of moisturiser so don't have to buy a new jar just yet (found 3 samples:j )
    Bring lunch from home (done and just eaten)
    Daily scratchcards
    Make proper shopping list for tomorrow so I only buy what I need
    Check bank online and sign up for online banking on second account
    Get a free dinner this evening in return for an evening of dogsitting
    Look into the Egg £50 back thing from Martins email.
    Change heating timer so not coming on first thing in the morning anymore (fingers crossed spring is finally arriving)
    Have a NSD as last chance to meet my Feb target.

  • Hi All :hello:

    Not too long list today but here goes:
    Have deposited £10 to TAB. Does anyone know how I can play the free scratches, I want to do it so I can withdraw my money again.
    Drive carefully to consume petrol
    Try and put some things on Ebay, wasn't working yesterday
    Free scratch on other one - 10p

    On TAB you have to go into Play Now in the middle of the main page and then go into the left hand bingo room. The daily scratch is on the left hand side of the screen.

    Hi popping in as really like this thread, you all seem to get on so well! I am not being a very committed DFW today and going out with friends for a meal (that I was told would be cheap but I guess we all have different ideas of what cheap is) and drinks. I feel a little guilty and it will squeeze me for March but I rarely go out and have recently become single! Anyway made some money on EBAY so almost covers it.
    Other than that I got a lift to work, made a packed lunch and came on here instead of wondering around the shops for lunch!
    I think I will pop back occassionally, cant every day as computer poorly!
    Happiness is wanting what you have...
  • Thankyou Tixy. I have won 25p and withdrawn my £10 :D :j
    Everybody on here seems to have said they needed to give ID to get their money back, but i just put my bank details in and they sent me a text message to say it had gone through. Did anybody else have that?
