What have you done today to make you feel proud to be a dfw?

I stayed home all day and cleaned out my freezer. So much stuff in there I'd forgotten about. Also I refused to play taxi to dd --again--I do more than enough running around-I let someone else have the pleasure! Writing out meal plan for next week so all I should need is bread and milk.When payday is due-if its weekly-wait an extra day before you touch it-add a day to this ev alternate week if you can. That way, next month, you will have an extra weeks pay available(if of course this is possible for you. If paid monthly, try to wait 3 days before you touch it and try to have at least one "no spending" day per week.It curbs the desire to buy things which aren't truly necessary.

hmm, i'm gonna include yesterday as that was a better day

posted six items on ebay, won't sell for more than a few pound but all being watched already and one bid which covers the cost of my fees and gives me a profit of 30p if nothing else sells...which it will!

started a positive chant today...happiness is coming easily to me

only took a fiver out with me for a evening in the pub and didn't take bank cards...and came home with 20p change!

spent a portion of the evening telling a friend all about mse and he saved the name on his phone to check out himself when he gets home!

I'm proud of myself to day because rather than the potentially expensive trip to the seaside my friend and I had planned we decided to take the kids to the local adventure park and take a picnic for lunch.

I baked bread in my bread maker (costing a grand total of aprox 50p rather than 90p at my local co op) Even though it meant I had to get up at 7am to make sure it was ready to use for our picnic lunch.

I arranged for my FIL to take me to matalan tomorrow to try to get some of dd's school uniform in the sale there, and sat and cut out coupons in the local newspaper and bits that fall out of it, for the first time ever!

Oh and I used white vinegar to clean out and left a pot of bicarb in my "new" (second hand) fridge ready to fill it up tomorrow.

I've had a Good day today :j

Have to start to make up for years of carp somehow LOL

I have stayed at work to eat my lunch today when the rest of the entire office have gone to the pub.

Gonna do that nectar points survey in a minute. And hopefully get myself round to actually putting my bike on ebay.
