  • Hi everyone, I havent posted on this thread for a while, so extra hello and hope your all doing fine, think about this thread often.
    I am super busy with health problems again and also re-evaluating whats important in life.
    Today I have
    -bought 3 x boxes of 40 christmas cards in wilkinson for 10p a box! All the christmas stuff was 10p, I might use them just for the envelopes & DS can use pictures in art projects, and put the others away for, erm, christmas, lol. Might go in for more actually, I get through a lot of envelopes.
    - I borrowed one of them smart meter things from library to monitor how much energy I use at home, will be using this over the week/end to see where I can cut back.
    - Got DS a lovely winter cost in charity shop for £2.50, will save it till next winter as it is a little big atm

    - sorted out a mobile phone deal for my business
    - paid some money between accounts
    - borrowed some library books too, cheaper than amazon
  • Hey folks,

    My little DFW thing was to go on our cross trainer today - we bought a second hand one from ebay at the weekend for £60 after cancelling our gym membership which was £60 per month! So for the price of one months membership we have a cross trainer we can use whenever we like forever. I also ate lunch from the kitchen cupboards and used a work phone for my personal calls (allowed!).

    I totally agree!!!! Thank you!
    Ever wonder about those people who spend £2 apiece on those little bottles of Evian water? Try spelling Evian backward.
  • Hey guys

    • no heating - just me, the blanket and hot water bottle
    • recycled a christmas paresent for a mate's birthday present
    • recycled some wrapping paper
