  • Good evening everyone,

    This is the first chance I've had to post today... busy Monday at work after a week off!!

    Determined... go for it with the running, it doesn't matter if it's raining!! Think I might be slightly mad but I LOVE running in the rain :D... also, I was going to ask - when you make banana bread each week how do you keep it fresh or does it just get eaten in a couple of days? I'm trying to use it for snacks along with lunches but it doesn't seem to stay fresh until the Friday if made on the Sunday.


    The DFW things I have done today: -
    • checked on-line banking and update spreadsheets... get paid a week on Thursday so am going to have to be very very careful until then
    • checked surveys - 2 done £1.10 earned :)
    • took lunch to work
    • NSD
    • tea per meal planner
    • make tomorrow's tea tonight (not done this yet, will do soon)
    Think that's me for today, enjoy the rest of your Monday everyone :) x
    New starting debt 30/12/2018 £30,164.76:eek:
