    Sans- I needed some airbags for ebay and couldn't find any cheap ones and then I found some sealable food bags from Mr T's and blew the air into them- they worked just as well! They are dead cheap too!

    Morning everyone!

    PipsMum - Keep a notebook by your bed so that you can write anything down if you wake up/can't sleep.

    Well I started my diary last night - I won't really be doing very much on it until next month but at least it is one place to get my DFW goals listed.

    Today I am going to spend money - I have really been wanting to get back into Yoga. I am not a sweaty betty type of exerciser so the gym isn't a great option for me. I had a great yoga teacher until about 2 years ago - we were so spoiled but unfortunately she died. I was very spoilt but I have found a class that is reasonably priced just down the road. I am going to trial the class tonight for £6.



    My list for today:
    • 2 hours revision
    • [STRIKE]check time for yoga class[/STRIKE]
    • [STRIKE]check bank accounts[/STRIKE]
    • [STRIKE]Walk for 30 mins (easier now that it is a lovely day)[/STRIKE]
    • [STRIKE]20 mins clean bedroom - it is a bombsite![/STRIKE]
    • Ironing
    • [STRIKE]Storecupboard dinner[/STRIKE]
    Not sure how I am going to fit it all back in!

    Have a lovely day everyone!

    Would you believe two of the most important things are not done.

    Went to the Yoga class today and it was good - I was so spoiled with my last teacher but this teacher seems good. It's all part of the grand plan to be healthier. I feel much better but I am going to hurt tomorrow. My abs have never been worked so hard (probably why I have such a big bell!).

    I think I am going to head off to bed soon - am really nicely tired.

    Good night all and see you tomorrow.

    Hi All - I have been bad and haven't written on the "what small DFW things" this weekend! :shocked:

    So, today I have done the following:

    * Went to a local farm this morning with my OH and our daughter, only cost £4 entry for all of us
    * Hung washing out on the line to dry (although I don't have a tumble dryer so no choice really!)
    * Got the number for my OH to call our mortgage provider to try and get a better rate.... he's still trying to get through!!
    * Gone through boxes which are for car boot sale and taken out things I might be able to get more for on ebay and on the for sale board at work

    I still plan to do the following:

    * Take pictures of above mentioned items to put on ebay and selling board
    * Update my financial spreadsheets on my spending, find this helps me feel in control
    * Go on to Mazuma Mobile and sell the 2 phones I meant to do on Wednesday!! Will do this via QuidCo

    THink thats all for now, will check back later and update - and to make sure I actually follow through with what I had planned to do!


    :j

    Have done the three things above on my list!! Just making up a document ot post on the board at work with my 4 items I have to sell there. The phones I haven't actually sold via Mazuma - I did one through cash in my phone (I think??) which I found on Quidco. They give you £4.50 per cart so I figured if I get on okay with the cheaper one I will send them in the more expensive one (phone is worth £30 on mazuma and £30.58 on c-i-m-p) and get the £4.50 from quidco rather than the £1.50 if I sent them to Mazuma!!

    Well done to everyone else who has managed to acheive some small things today :T I'm off to do my fake tan for my friends birthday party this weekend... night night!
