    DFD- July 31st 2012

    From August 2012, save £1500 pcm- massively ambitious but I've checked the sums repeatedly and it looks like do-able.

    I really hope it is do-able

    OK onepoll is up to £39.40. Just 60p away from payout! So...nearly...there. Must must must get there asap. This £40 combined with £80 due from quidco at some point will be a welcome bonus!

    Have managed to get all my parcels that are due before xmas- just 2 ebay items still on their way but neither of these are xmas presents so no problem that they're not here. Have one collection to do at 8am tomorrow from a depot :eek::eek::eek:

    Also ordered from approved food- spent £18 but also had t pay £7.50 delivery due to the weight. All I bought were drinks- 76 bottles of juice/energy water etc etc. Fridge will be stocked for OH!

    Banking looks ok- but none of my direct debits have come out yet- there is enough to cover them. I have everything I need for January- food, petrol, bills paid so I should be able to have around 25 NSDs- now that would be amazing!

    I just have a couple of purchases to make- mainly stationery and lint rollers, which I will get from ebay. Also need to pay phone bill. If I can find a cardigan cheap enough on ebay I shall treat myself too.

    Resisting temptation to buy new bedding as I can't afford it (I'm an egyptian cotton girl so it really is a big expense) so this can wait until July. I have plenty to make do until then.

    Now to think of resolutions for new year...

    I can be fairly sure there will always be something last minute - you'd think I'd have learned by now! The thing to do is minimise how many last minute things occur I suppose.

    At the moment I feel I could do with going back to work for a rest!

    Have a great Christmas. :)

    Hey Miggy,

    there's always something isn't there?! I'm tying it into my errands tomorrow so when I return home, I shouldn't have to leave the house again until after boxing day!

    Hope all's well with you?

    I am enjoying a peaceful, relaxing Christmas and I hope you are too x

    oooh that's not bad. I found 10 on ebay for £2.35 with free p&p- not sure how the seller will make any money doing that but I bought! Will remember tesco for next time.
