Friday 7th May - What small DFW things have you done today?!

Hi Oliveoyl (what a cool addi!) where do you live? The other side of the world??

OliveOyl_2

In Africa. I've followed Popeye as he has a job out here - which is how we got DF about a year faster :rotfl: Trouble is there's still no work for him in the UK, and unlikely to be in the near future. I miss my family, but life is still an adventure....
There's real poverty here (our maid doesn't even have electricity!) I guess we're in the top 10% here, whereas at home, we're bang in the middle. We feel really privileged and are determined to enjoy this country for now.

Morning all :hello:
Well I managed to power on through the night and watched the election up until 7am. Very interesting times ahead - and sad to lose local Lab MP who has been there since 1997 and has done a lot for the community

Have managed a couple of hours sleep and will prob return to bed in a bit so a short list for me!

• Need to do some Uni reading - aim for two chapters
• NSD
• Stick to meal plan and SW
• Walk pup for free excerise

And that's it other than staying in tonight and relaxing! Busy weekend ahead - working Saturday and Sunday night shifts and have a study session all day tomorrow :eek: But 3 weeks today and it will all be over (the assessed work that is)

Take care

Morning all

I wrote a post up last night and then was timed out and lost it, so gave up! So today am posting early, although it’s a short list:

• Check bank online
• Lunch out with friends today as a treat, but will stay within budget
• Check for surveys
• HC uniforms to try to get ahead
• Try to focus at work, am really bored at the moment but got loads to do
• Dinner from stores

Feeling very tired this morning and soooo glad it’s nearly the weekend. My house looks like a herd of animals have been through it this week (which is marginally true with three kids :rotfl:), so my weekend is already mapped – perhaps I’ll use the flylady to keep me motivated.

Glad to hear you’re taking a day off DNMS, sounds like you need it.

Will be back to update later.

Hi everyone :wave:

Well aren’t I shattered this morning?! This week has been tough, what with staying up late to watch the snooker and staying up late last night to watch the election! So sleepy!

Today my listypops looks like this:

• Going to come up with a DFW pledge for that thread that started yesterday – think it sounds like good motivation for me and good to keep a little check list all in one place :A
• Wrapped and posted an ebay sale with stuff from my stash (free) :money:
• Listed something else on ebay
• Booked cinema for tomorrow for £1 (from last week’s email):money:
• Having leftovers/using up what’s in the fridge for tea tonight – will be interesting if nowt else! :rotfl:Ended up getting a takeaway! £6.
  
• Do a meal plan for next week and do a shopping list :A– didn’t do too well on the last big shop as had to get loads of storecupboard bits and bobs and ended up not getting many meals! D’oh.
• Said no to an offer of the pub for lunch not making any friends here… :(

Oh Fay is it this weekend ebay has a free listing?! Woohoo, have a few things that I wouldn’t want to start at 99p so will get that sorted. Cheers for the tip off

Ok am scrapping the above as I have takent he day off to get my head together so am doing a new list! No point in being at work if I'm there in body but nothing else and distracting everyone else to boot! That means I have 4 days now until I have to go back to work, hopefully I will feel on top of things by Tuesday

Good plan DNMS! Have a lovely day!

Let me know how you get on with the flylady thread. I plan on doing all my lists on Sunday! :rotfl:We'll see how far I get.

Hi everyone, hope you're all having great days My day hasn't been too good as I found out one of the companies I owe money to took an extra £168.00 from my account! I arranged to pay them £40.00, and not gonna get money back 'til Tuesday now! And I've got a wedding to go to at weekend so not much money left - not impressed in the slightest.

But, other than that I've managed to do a few DFW things...

• Got parcel ready to send off to Music Magpie (I'm too impatient for Amazon!)
  
• Done daily scratchcards
• Tracked my phone recyling (says pending - hurry up money! :P)
• Didn't buy any clothes when I went into town!!
• Checked online banking
• Got some cheap accessories from a shop up town for wedding

And later after picking up my car I'm off to Tescos to get a refund on my top that doesn't fit right - bit too baggy That's the problem with ordering clothes online, so at least it's put me off online shopping!)

Hope everyone's having a good day
