What have you done today that is DFW stylee?? Weds 19th April

Hi there - couldnt see this thread so thought I would start it today.

Ive been good today eating wise - only used up stuff from home.
My main DFW thing today is that I have been to the Small Claims Court and filed my claim against First Direct for unfair bank charges. The clerk wanted to check the address for FD so I got out my cheque book LOL and then paid the fees on a FD cheque. Fingers crossed now that they pay up but actually.... secretly I would like to go to court LOL they would probably wipe the floor with me :rotfl:
Later Im off to collect some tea light candles through freecycle so no cost there. Do you think a no electric light, candle lit night would be a good DFW thing to do or is that just taking it too far LOL.

    Well done on filing the claim. I'm still waiting for DPA info. We may end up in the same court as I'm from the North east too.
