Wednesday 8th July - What small DFW things have you done today?

poorbutrich

Morning all! (just!)

Looks like you are all being very productive.
Today's things for me:

1. Send homemade birthday card to friend (saving about £3 on a shopbought one!)
2. Eating yesterday's dinner for lunch (apologies to my colleagues for the stench!)
3. Emailing friends to sort out another friend's birthday, rather than calling...
4. No response to my clothes offer on freecycle, so will take them to the charity shop
5. Be envious of Toria's holiday - it's the nearest thing to a holiday for me this year -hahaha!

I think that's all for today! Have a good one everyone!

Arghhh most of my holiday clothes dont fit me so ive got even more things to list on ebay now! And Im going to have to search ebay at the same time to try and find some cheap new ones!!

So an addition to today list:

• Find cheap holiday clothes!
• See if any of too big clothes can be altered to fit me :rotfl:
