Bumbling along to be Mortgage Free

Hi Michelle,
Glad you had a good holiday and the bathroom work is progressing, even if it is going slowly.
Just a thought on your DS1s clothes. We get a lot for our DS1 from car boot sales. I don't know what the ones are like near you, but the ones over here are great! I got 4 Monsoon shirts for £1 each a few weeks ago, and sold them on Ebay for over £15. I've had allsorts for the boys from Gap, Zara, Vertbaudet and Monsoon for £1 or less. You sometimes have to rummage a bit but it's definitely worth it. My only trouble is I get a bit giddy and then they end up with loads and grow out of things before they've had chance to wear them.
I am also starting a diet challenge, and am off to pop it on my diary xMummy to 3 fabulous boys all under 4 :eek:0 -
Good luck with your kick start pledge Michelle
I'm trying to cut down the drink too and have bought some AF stuff to try. Not exactly MS but its a start!
Currently studying for a Diploma - wish me luck

Good idea to check how many units of electric you use. I am going to take a reading to see if I can reduce ours on a daily basis. Good game, winding up DH, he already moans when I walk in the room he is in and turn off some of the lightsSew it, knit it, glue it, reuse it , don't buy it0

You've inspired me to take my meter readings Michelle! I registered with imeasure in the winter and did a couple of weeks, but nothing since February.
I also managed to harvest my first courgette. I really think I should be telling Courgette thatIts been extremely windy, so I'll be happy if anything survives this weekend!
