Hi
I haven't been terribly productive today, DD broke up with her BF so have been providing tea and sympathy
.
Have tried to keep to the DFW-ways though:- Checked bank & updated spreadsheet
- All food from stores
- Been to B/Q to get some wallpaper & flooring - paid with cash

- Re-run the snowball calculator to check DFD... end of 2013, assuming I can raise more cash - not great
:eek: - Put loose change from my purse in penny jar
- Surveys - 25p
- 2 x HC & line dried
- Picked up a few bits at Mr S - tried to just get bogofs or reduced items

..enjoy the rest of the evening
