    I did! I layed them out on the pavement and put the dyson over them rather than using the nozzle bit! :D :rotfl:

    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    my mum tried to give me the £40 she owed me but instead I gave her my visa statement and asked her to pay the money into the bank for me ( i would have spent it on crap it I'd have taken it off her)

    I'm having a brilliant DFW day! Not only have I not been out to the shops for milk (and come back with half the store) I'm also feeling pretty virtuous about the following:

    1) Have sold a ton of stuff on ebay and Amazon - target up to end of May £75 (which I thought was ambitious for a week, so gave it a go) Actual current sales? £98.67 and that's with fees and postage off!! I rock!
    2) Cleaned bathroom with soda crystals and Lemon EO. Bathroom smells gorgeous and I don't reek of bleach.
    3) Did a massive cookoff yesterday so I've got HM readymeals sorted fro the rest of the week, also looked through cupboards & freezer and shocked myself at how much there is left, esp as we've been living out the freezer for the past 3 weeks!
    4) Went through my old bank statements and realised the bank have hit me for £230 in charges which I intend to claim back. Didn't realise it was that much!
    5) Put my *free* comfort pashmina round my shoulders when it got nippy instead of putting the heating on. Small I know, but every little helps!
    This year I'm getting organised once and for all, and going to buy a house with my wonderful other half. And that' s final!

    Current Pay Off Target : £1500 :mad:

    Spent nothing today. Good Start.
    Got free lunch from work.
    Had dinner from my freezer for OH and I had 2nd lot of fish cakes made from fish from my freezer.
    Managed to find enough lunch money around the house for DS to do 2 days. Should cover me until the wages go in the bank.

    Went shopping with £30 Topman vouchers from Pigsback so that DP could get clothes, also used NUS card for further discount.

    Got lunch with LV vouchers from Pinecone surveys.

    Ordered a waterproof sheet from Empire for DS bed using £20 off code.

    Quidco clicks.

    Made green lentil pasta, enough for tonight plus another meal.

    Made a huge pot of veg chilli, enough for tomorrow and to freeze two more meals.
    Nevermind the dog, beware of the kids!
