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.
