Good afternoon everybody and thanks for starting the thread Milly
This weekend I will/have:- clean through house and get rid of doggy paw prints over laminate flooring
- catch up on laundry and dry on airer
- have been to 'Ly-dells' and spent a very saintly £10.47 on fresh veg, and lovely cheapie gorgonzola cheese, bacon, chorizo etc which will all make meals for rest of month - hopefully will only need milk for rest of month + managed to squeeze all into bag i had with me as refused to pay 9p for carrier bag AND got lift with friend so saved on fuel.
- make small but respectable PAD to keep in habit
- post 2 e bay items and list some more
- put at least 3 books on Amazon
- do a music magpie DVD/CD drop
- start off soaking paper to make DIY 'fuel logs' for openfire - not convinced they'll work but worth a try and excellent for saving on storage of recycling paper
