    Well done on the carboot On My Own.

    Today I have:
    • Managed to have a NSD (2nd one this week I think which is good for me)
    • Prepared all meals from stuff already in the house
    • Cooked cous cous for lunch tomorrow for me and OH
    • Put the washing through on an eco wash
    • Listed 11 things on Ebay to start next week (have had to delay listings as I'm away from 1 October which would give me no time to post if items ended on 30 September)
    • Hit target and more on SB and hoping to get enough for a £5 voucher tomorrow
    • Been through the cupboards at my Mum and Dad's where some of my stuff was lingering and found 2 suit jackets that I can also ebay in the near future
    • Drove everywhere in my OH's car (well it's not my petrol :A)
    Think thats it. I reckon I've got a bit obsessive with this mortgage free thing although I haven't set myself any targets yet.

    Another souper here. Made a huge cauldron of veg and lentil soup for this week and the freezer. Composted the peelings. Also baked bread and fairy cakes so had a soup and pudding dinner.

    I stapled some lovely fabric to a canvas frame to make something to hang on my boring white wall today. I consider this a (borderline) MFW activity as it means I have the pleasure of owning something "new" without spending any more money. The frame and fabric had been clutter for years and I borrowed a staple gun from work.
