Today I continued with my washathon. Thanks to the advice on daily chat I crammed a sleeping bag into my washing machine instead of taking it to the laundrette. It is currently hanging on the line - looks and smells fresher and saved me laundrette costs :j
I also resisted the urge to go to town, just walked to Aldi as DH wanted one of their special items. Naturally I ended up with some food bits, but they will get eaten.
I scanned in my shopping when I got home and have checked for surveys (none
)
Now to look for a few comps to enter before DH comes in and wants PC.Debt at highest: £8k. Debt Free 31/12/2009. Original MFD May 2036, MF Dec 2018.0 -
