    Hello I'm new and will follow this thread for much needed tips.
    The DFW things I've done today:
    Took my water bottle for drinks.
    Bought a brand new swimsuit one size down in OXFAM for £4.99
    Left my money belt behind, but forgot about change in pocket, so didn't stop off at Tesco's on the way back from a run.

    Morning all :j

    Didn't post yesterday as I had to go to a work function :mad: you might think, but it was actually a nice, relaxed occasion :D

    Pretty tired today though, as still a bit poorly.

    Today I have / will:

    Not bother with online banking as it does not update itself at weekends anyway :D

    See to plants and animals - some done, some still to do (sounds as though I have a zoo and Kew Gardens to look after :rotfl: )

    Go and see DS and his family, and take along some BBQ bits for everyone and some pocket money for grandchildren.

    Finally sort out growing clean laundry (pile x) mountain in hall.

    Thats about it - no point in being over-ambitious :D

    Have a nice day everyone :hello:
