On a non-DFW note, please may I show off because I've lost 5lbs this week? Probably cos I was ill,but I bet the lack of wine was a contributing factor. I think I shall try and stay off it this week too! At least until Lost starts again - I can't wait!

See you later, L x

:T:T:T - not for being poorly, but for loosing 5lbs!

Hello everyone

Today I have:
-called talktalk and cancelled ringback and paper bills (saving £3.75 a month!)
-got inspiration to keep going by reading people's DFW posts
-emailed (rather than called) a friend to arrange meeting up
-food all from cupboards and freezer today
-baby in reusable nappies today, no disposables
-collected eggs from my chickens for tea
-started preparing for a job interview
-NSD
-did a review for a baby product I get to keep
-emailed gas and elec readings so bill accurate (and used much less than estimated, so hopefully a smaller bill this month!)

Have lovely evenings everyone

Good afternon all and well done Lurleene on the weight loss - thanks for the thread Milly as always.

sooooooo today I shall or indeed have:

• Check comparison sites on Quidco for house insurance and hopefully make whacking saving on renewal quote from existing £350 - do I live in a mansion? errrrr no!
• Go to dentist - yes it's £16.50 for 5 minute check up but consider it money well spent and actually have money set aside to pay for it for first time ever
• go and scour park over road for firewood as refuse to pay £1 for miserly bag of kidling from shop
• was supposed to go into loft to a) measure up for new insulation and b) look for 'treasures' to post on ebay - but it's now getting a bit dark and my dad used to tell me that vampires lived up there so think I'll leave it till tomorrow and daylight!
• sorted out knitting wools and going to start making stuff to put on ebay - fingerless gloves and baby socks are flavour of the month at the mo.
• Emailed correct electric meter reading to Br*tish G*s - they had significantly overestimated my usage and as am changing suppliers therefore binning them and their inflated prices, I want to keep things accurate (was going to say current but that would have been an appalling play on words )

Stay warm everyone

Thanks for the encouragement for getting ever so slightly less chubby!

Really lovely picture Fay.

And Saorsie - vampires aren't really hiding in your loft, you know. They are far too busy swanning around looking all handsome and making all the teenage girls swoon.
