Morning all....from the luxury of my bed:T We've all not long woken up, bliss. Girls gone down and playing on the Wii, so better for me to stay up here with my coffee and laptop:p

Our ice skating trip wasn't the best yesterday - my friend got stuck in traffic for about 45m so we went on without her, rink was heaving and it was freezing (for me sat watching!) and smoky (think chip fat:o).....eldest fell over as we got there which put her off for a while!
When we got home I was just sooooo tired, it lasted all night, proper physically worn out...booooo Ithought I was getting better!!!

So, no plans for today - I wont feel bad if I do nothing, i really need to:o
Ok, small list 1st:

• check banking - not much there til Tax credits intomorrow
• daily scratch
• meal from plan tonight - Nigella's cheese risotto mmmmmmmmmmm
• heating off in day if poss....
• LSD - need to get petrol and flowers to take to a colleague's house tomorrow
• post ebay book sold
• washing on quickwash....airers to dry

Ok, that's my lot! Have a good day all

A purge is a fuel and air conditioning additive for your car, if I sell a pair at work (for £29.99) I get £2.50. Easy money but it's just remembering to do it!

I've heard of this FAFF thing, what is it???

FAFFing - is February Alcohol Free Festival or Fanstastic Alcohol Free February (I forget!)

Put simply its days during february where you don't drink wine/beer etc

Either way its about cutting down a bit on the alcohol and saving some money - FAFFing rocks!!

When looking hard at grocery spends last year or so (maybe the year before ) it came to me how much I was spending on the 'odd' bottle of wine in a week/month - etc - I was hitting my grocery spends really hard but still buying a fair bit of wine - so I decided for financial (and health) reasons it had to stop.

So I joined the cutting down alcohol challenge thread - what a lovely bunch - very like many on MSE

YB _ well done on your own personal FAFF's and NAFF's

Hello - this is my new start to becoming debt free. So today I have already

Checked all bank accounts are up to date and have enough in them
Checked credit card payments have been made that are due.
Took delivery of my tesco online shop completed through mysupermarket which saved me around £15 and then saved another £15 using an online code and club card vouchers.
Working from home so no travel costs or lunch costs.

Just submitted my job application - yuk! At least that's out way though, so now I am taking the kids to a local farm for a cheap day out. Entry is by donation and we are taking a picnic so we will make the most of the lovely sunshine.

Crikey - FAFF's sound far too complicated for me anyway! Plus I tend to fall asleep after one glass of wine...lol

Well I never - I sold a book on Amazon and their automated postage thing didn't cover the postage!!! How rude! So I ended up losing money on that! Not only that but I nabbed the change off my little brother who works for me, he said no problem but I had to go pay his parking ticket for him...I said no problem, got lost trying to find the council offices, eventually found them and a parking space, then walked to them, only to read a sign on the door that they had moved!!! So I walked to them to pay his ticket, expecting to find that I had a ticket on my car on the way back!!! I didn't have a ticket but I did use more than the nabbed £2.40 in fuel, I needn't have bothered!!!
