Monday 1st March - What small DFW things have you done today?!
Comments
-
it has storage heaters and I have no idea how they work
I've had them for two years and I still don't know :rotfl: Mine are a nightmare because there's no thermostat. My house is either boiling or freezing. I know the Input dial is how much they get charged up over night/how much heat they'll emit throughout the day, but the Boost dial is a mystery to me coz whatever I put it on it doesn't seem to make a difference. Good luck with them
My list for today is:-- Get off backside and do something! tick
- Chops out of freezer for tea tick
- Find my pegs (not used since last year) and peg out washing tick
- Do about 300 loads of washing :(on 30 degrees 2 down , 3 tonnes to go :rotfl:
- Nip to farmfoods for bread (2 loaves of any Hovis for £1:j) and potatoes
- Go to Tesco to get my Euros - NO OTHER SPENDING ALLOWED
- Get suitcases out of attic and have a look for some stuff to sell on ebay while I'm up there

Hi lovely people, hope everyone is having a good day.
It wasn't a NSD for me as needed petrol - but used a 5p off litre coupon I found in purse
Just got water bill number one for the year (we have to have two providers in our area) and price the same as last year - yay! 
Now off to chill out before go swimming and read some more of the money diet book.
