Checked emails
Nearly finished stalking redcurrants
lunch and dinner is going to be french bread with meat and salad, (dh will have his like a big sandwich, no style:rotfl:) This is because I am not cooking today. I want to get up in loft and sort my stuff to ebay. I have charged my camera batteries ready.
Check my old jewellery has arrived at its destination OK, see if I get what they said I would. Money paid got a couple of quid more than I thought
See if I can find charger for my old phone, check it still works and get some cash for that. Ready to be posted £6 its old!!!! yay

Hi everyone after months of viewing the forum I've finally joined . I absolutely love this thread , it has helped me so much with my df mission. I hadn't really thought about how much the little things matter until reading it . The top things that have helped me have been

1. driving slower on the motorway to work (bit embarrassing sometimes!)but my tank goes so much further so I don't care now !

2. only using cash and not switch

3.joining online banking so i can view what is in my account

4.doing a weekly shop and planning meals

5.being more organised with presents so no panic buying

thanks again for this great thread. I'm useless on computers so I'm sorry it is basic!

* I cycled home from the garage after dropping the car off - rather than taxi or several buses.
* no surveys today
* ate food from stores rather than getting lunch on the ride home (mostly because I had no key for my bike chain TBH)
* RM survey post done

Borrowing milly, borrowing......:)


Welcome newbies as well I've been so absent lately its hard to keep up!!

We're all slowly but surely becoming closer to being debt free - thanks to this lovely thread and all the 'borrowed' ideas

determined_new_ms

phew have read now! and also welcome to the newbs - I definately agree with the others this thread is fantastic, really supportive, great for "borrowing" ideas and a shorter period when you fall off the wagon
