what have you done today DFW style 1st may 2006

Wizwoo

Had a tough few days with car tax and house insurance (MOT due too in just a couple of weeks) so a tough bank holiday cash wise.
So - I've done a meal plan for the week and bought the groceries accordingly. Made Carrot and cumin (yum) soup for lunch for the next couple of days.
Homemade pizza in the oven (I think I made too much dough...they're huge heehee :rotfl: :rotfl:). I've read (book and posts on here) and OH had been on his playstation...freeish.

Will have a couple more things to list on ebay later - and OH has had some lovely feedback in the last few days on ebay which is really nice.

Enjoy the rest of the day all. :T

We had a family day out! We walked to a fete, my little girl had her face painted for free, then a go on a bouncy castle for 50p. We then managed to buy a second hand barbie scooter for £3 and found a penny on the way home.

Total for the day out for 4 of us was £3.49! :j

However, the chocolate and cigs on the way home came to about £5.50 :eek:

i got a free patio from freecycle!!!!! oh how i love freecycle.
we've desperately wanted a patio area since we moved in but have resisted because of not being able to afford....so imagine my delight when i went on freecycle and found an ad for 51 patio slabs,8 bags sharp sand and 6 bags ballast and my even greater delight when i got a mail back saying we could have it!!!! hubby collected it this morning and its fabulous

Went to the Red Bull karting challenge in Cardiff Bay. Car park £3, entry fee a staggering nothing. Great 3 hours racing, got to see David Coulthard & Christian Klien (Red Bull formula 1 racing drivers), weather nice & sunny. It's being shown on ITV on Saturday 3rd June ahead of Silverstone practice & qualifying.

My best mate gave me her bread maker this morning which she no-longer wants!! So chuffed with that and a very good start to the day.

Went for a drive and took a long walk around a little village, castle and beach etc (away from towns/ cities and shops etc)....Its been a lovely sunny day here suprisingly!

My BIL lent my husband some new Playstation2 games, so saves us buying them!

Can I add to my above post that I listed two items on ebay.

Am hopefully going to save some money tonight as shed door padlocked and shed and garage door screwed down by OH (same person came back two nights to break into shed and garage).

well I have had a great DFW day but not such a good DFW evening

Mum and Dad came over to help me with painting and decorating and I supplied HM soup and bread for lunch. So far so good, but it got to dinner time and I was aching so much from being on my knees all day painting skirting boards that I decided that I couldnt be bothered to cook dinner so we had a chinkie I also bought sweets yesterday and today - think I may have fallen off the wagon for a couple of days :eek:

Well, my contribution is that I went into work today. Seeing as how it's a bank holiday I get paid double bubble! Wooo hooo! Every little helps...
