Hi, since debt busting I have tried to think of cheap or even better free things to do! Thought a thread offering suggestions would be a good idea, so i'll start 
- Hosting a party such as Ann Summers, Body Shop or Virgin Vie - these parties are free to have at your home and fun, just ask everyone to bring a bottle. Also as the host you generally get a cut of whatever the consultant has made in orders to spend on products, at my last virgin vie party I purchased 4 wine glasses, and 16 piece dining set and also received a neckerlace as a hostess gift

:j6 debts cleared since joining MSE:j
:eek: Remaining debts... Very / Halifax Loan/ A&L / Virgin cc / Lloyds / Sister :eek:

Walking is free and good for you, and if you find it all a bit pointless, try geocaching (if you've never heard of it, pop it into google. Its basically a bit like a treaure hunt using GPS. And not for actual treasure, sadly!)
Also because I'm a bit sad, I like selling on ebay, especially when you get a bidding war on an item which someone has told you you'll never manage to sell

In summer I like taking a book and a picnic to the park. You can get books from the library or freegle for free, and you'd have to eat at home anyway!Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.0

freecycle (or whatever they are called now- check freebies section (under stuff for sale, bizarrely!) - might be a bike offered, to get some exercise.. maybe even a camera to take pics as you go, get processed at jesosps (code SM50 gets 50 free prints)- or upload to flickr, possible good ones can get selected by a commerical pic agency = £££???Long time away from MSE, been dealing real life stuff..
Sometimes seen lurking on the compers forum :-)0
