What Have You Done Today That's DFW Stylee? SATURDAY 22nd April

LookingAhead

Couldn't see one today...apologies if duplicate.

Got bus to town & back (return ticket - cheaper) instead of faffing about with taxi (car in garage - but OH paying for that as he pranged it!)

I took a bra back to M & S that I got the other week with birthday vouchers. Slightly too big. Previously I would have just put up with it but today I took it back and got vouchers - bought a correct (and very pretty!) replacement and matching undies too

I also bought something else which means I spent £7 more in the end but I was pleased I bothered to take the other item back in the first place. Now I have three items I will use instead of one just occupying space!

Had a home made lunch of a houmous baguette when I got home, instead of spending money in town on rip off food.

Got body lotion on half price offer in Boots.

Put BACK a gorgeous skirt I tried on it John Lewis. I guess I should be poud of my increasing will power though!

Have done three loads of washing & got them dry on the line - no tumble dryer required today!!

Off to make a filling but frugal evening dinner now. Hope you have a nice evening all. xx

a spend free day here :j
caught up with all my washing and line dried it instead of the usual tumble drying
done some housework and had a very good clean out put some stuff on freecycle
also sat in for the 3rd day in a row waiting for some1 who asked for my last lot of freecycle stuff to collect, now he has had 3 chances and not collected (each day new excuse) i think i may re offer it :mad:
checked all jars/tins in my cupboard and cleaned out my freezer to work out what shopping i really need to buy next month
cut up barclay card so i never get tempted again by it in future if i do not have the money im not having it
found a double buggy on ebay 3 miles from where i live for 3.00 (still has 5 days) its only been used once and my neighbour is now watching it for me if i get this it means i wont be touching provident again(was going to get more shopping vouchers to enable me being able to buy one in mothercare)

hopefully i will be as good tomorrow, monday will cripple me as i have to pay playschool fee's which will be around 120.00 ouch

Not a lot really...erm

As per usual Ive rinsed my beansprouts!!

Spent almost £50 on paint ladders etc, and my kitchen is lovely now ready for my new lodger. I justify this ( thinly) as It probably saved us £200 on getting someone else to do it, lame excuse I guess, Id have never paid anyone to do it!!

Off to tesco now and its my week to buy. Hopefully there will be plenty of yellow labels kicking about, although I doubt it at this time.

Falling off the wagon a bit at the mo I fear...

Bought 3 bottles of wine for a tenner instead of 4 quid each!


Does that count?

I've just cooked a chicken curry and froze it ready for next week. Chicken was on its best before date today and I'd normally have chucked it (we're going out tonight so wouldn't have eaten it).

Not done a great deal today as felt a bit grotty all day, feeling bit better now though and ready for some wine lol

donfanatico

Curry and wine...nice!

I have listed some more stuff on amazon, spent £2.70 on lots of fruit from local market, going to make some nice fruit bread tomorrow to freeze.

Lunch was a bowl of aldi benefit flakes with strawberrys, wasn't very hungry, so they did the job! The flakes are only 99p and are quite nice.

And I'm staying in tonight and cooking dinner, not feeling too good, so it will just be easy jacket spuds, cheese and beans, nice and cheap too!

Goldilox

I've not gone down the pub! Sob sob! :-(

I know if I go I'll end up there the whole night!

Instead friends and I watched DVDs and played poker last night (sadly not for real money! LOL).
