    Well, got rid of the stuff off DS top bunk - he can have mates to sleep over now!

    Been into loft & found 3 boxes of books - theres lots more, but didn`t want to overload myself. So the plan is 4 piles - keep, sell, read then sell & EX.
    EX has had 10 yrs to claim carp in loft, but I should at least off him his stuff back - shouldn`t I?

    Wouldn`t sell his heirlooms, but the book of the film??

    Please give your opinion, the above is my mums, me I`d sell the stuff.
    After 10 years he`s prob forgotten he had it!!! :rotfl:

    Hello peeps.
    Not had a good DFW day today, but had a lovely day despite that.
    This is my NON-DFW list...only for today though

    -DD and I went with my friend to Cholderton Charlie's rare breeds and petting farm. Got some lovely pics and DD loved it. Spent £10 getting in.
    - Then £11.50 on lunch,
    - Then £7 in the cafe later on!
    - Plus I drove there and back (about 10 miles each way).
    - Drove with a heavy foot as usual
    - HC on during expensive leccy
    - Used tumble today in expensive leccy
    - All lights seem to be on in the house
    - Hot water has been on all day, thanks to OH, but can't be a55ed to turn it off.
    - Might have bath instead of a shower
    - Didn't give OH luncheon vouchers to use in Mr T's as I forgot

    This is ONLY for today, troops. Tomorrow I will be back on form... :p
    Jx
    Nothing to report as yet...give me a minute...!

    Josie - at least you recognise it, which is one of the big changes for us all. I see from your sig you do valued ops surveys - are they good? Would you recommend I signed up with them?

    I'm doing the studying I promised to do, and ate some just out of date food rather than throwing it away (had to throw some other stuff away). When I'm done with this dissertation I will do meal planning.

    Hi everyone :hello:


    Well had a lovely morning out with DM at the bootsale and got some bargains too!
    • a casual canvas bag (will be lovely for our week in France at the end of the month)
    • a River Island cream top
    • a DP gillet
    • a necklace to go with said top
    • some brand new flat sheets and pillow cases
    am very happy :D

    DM also had some bargains, one of which, a Next dress doesn't fit her, so think that will be coming my way too :):)

    Weather was sunny but windy, so we warmed up over a coffee and a sausage sandwich afterwards at the local caf (which DM paid for)....was a lovely, girly morning!



    I haven't done much on the DFW front today, but will list what I can think of:
    • Bargains from bootsale :)
    • Only spent money I actually had
    • HC x 4 and line dry
    • Ironed all the uniforms
    • Listed stuff on ebay
    • Dinner from stores
    • Heating kept to a minimum, it's cold though
    And I think I'll now spend a bit of time entering a few comps before heading off to bed.

    Enjoy the rest of the weekend all :).
