* did my daily spins - again no wins
* hung washing outside and doing some housework
* ate some disgusting microwaved rice flavoured with salad cream - anything to use up something so vileDebt at highest: £8k. Debt Free 31/12/2009. Original MFD May 2036, MF Dec 2018.0 -

Happy Easter Everyone!
This Easter Weekend I have -
* Been at parents since Wednesday night, eating their food (but have give them some cash towards this)
* Got pampered at a lovely health spa on Maundy Thursday courtesy of a voucher I got for Xmas
* Got meat for BBQ from a local butcher which was MUCH cheaper than rip off supermarkets and tasted MILES better. Interestingly, since this new butchers has opened he has been really busy and people have commented how better his stuff tasted than the supermarket meats. I like the idea of taking custom away from supermarkets and helping out smaller, local businesses, like it used to be years ago.
* Found 13p over the last 2 days on various pavements
* Done a few clicks & surveys
* Ate and drank far too much, need to get back to eating better when I get home!#39 - Save £12k in 20250 -
I made a MASSIVE rhubarb crumble (enough for 5 of us for 2 days and big helpings too) from a rhubarb plant that was 'liberated' by us from a derelict site about to be cleared for house building about 5 years ago. It has obviously appreciated our rescue mission as it has kept us plentifully supplied with rhubarb ever since!0

Evening everyone.
Today has been a no spend day. I think it helped that the shops were closed
Its a shame they can't be closed every Sunday (and yes, I do work in retail)
Back to work tomorrow :mad:
