Quite happy with my February progress but I think I've slipped into overdraftdom with one day to go until payday!
Anyway, my list for today:
- put some coins in the jar 9p in the pot
- charge phone at work and left charger there...
- washing on airer. Next load can be another quick wash at 30 and MIL2B has offered to wash sheets/towels for us at the weekend, which will help us out mucho
Nooooo, can't face another wash tonight...
- sort big shop when it arrives later/decide what to cook and what to freeze. OH beat me to it, and even put a meal plan on the fridge door with the days we're cooking what and the days we can have leftovers.
- omelettes for tea to use up lots of bits and bobs Didn't have enough eggs...ended up with cereal! Will eat better the rest of the week, honest!
- LSD - bought some fruit
- drinking work's free tea - not been to the can machine in 2010, although I did find myself eyeing up a bottle of coke today. I will resist and keep my 80p! Well resisted!
xx
PS - I had a dream last night that I did something (can't remember what) and then I thought 'Oh, I'll need to add that to my small DFW list.' :rotfl:
- did my first survey!
- doing my own nails
- heating is down low and I'm wearing a jumper.
Night all

Thank you everyone for such a lovely welcome..what a friendly thread....
After full on day at work and a sneaky watch of an hour of The Wire Series 3...am ready to get my MSE fix. So the small DFW things I have done today are:
- OH booked a 3 year Family Railcard saving money but also getting YHA membership which we would have got anyway
- 4 watchers on one of my ebay listings so thats not bad
- lunch paid for by a colleague and scrummmy dinner from freezer
- more eggs (lovely scrambled eggs for breakfast) from our chooks who are laying again..yippee:j
- all washing done at 30 and on wooden driers - in fact the tumble dryer we got for helping with the reusable nappies when DDs were small is so infrequently used we might just freecycle it:rotfl:
-and maybe the best of all..haggled (nicely) on a central heating quote (using some advice from a MSE forum as well) and with using OH as cheap labour ;)and just asking will be saving over £150...
See you tomorrow..will try and log on in late eve..
