Living for free 1/1/07

So here we go day one of living free and so far all is well. I thought today would be easy and it was. breakfast was weetibix and milk lunch toast and pate i got for crimbo, and dinner chicken wings with beans and rice. all things i had already. i rinsed out the pan from the beans and filled it with water to warm on the oven while we ate dinner. it was plenty warm enough for a cup of tea afterwards and ment i didnt need the kettle on. the left over water i used to wash up.
Tonight is a quiet evening in, i`m a bit bored so i`m having a freebie hunt. I really wanted to have a go at my knitting but i`m to shaky from giving up cigs.
Planning to see a film tomorrow night as i have 2 free cinema tickets to use up.
love
free living fishcake.

    Debt free = December 2010...as of March 2006 it is now January 2010..... as of December 2008 it is now December 2009 :j hopefully sooner!!
    :jDEBT FREE:j January 2012, took longer but I got there, all by myself, through sheer hard work and pride!
