Comments

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:Living debt free, since Sept 08 & Dec 10 :wall:

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...

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I'm doing the studying I promised to do, and ate some just out of date food rather than throwing it away (had to throw some other stuff away).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.Debt at highest: £8k. Debt Free 31/12/2009. Original MFD May 2036, MF Dec 2018.0 -

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

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
Enjoy the rest of the weekend all
.
