Here's my DFW list for today so far:- HM granola for a filling breakfast

- checked banking
- applied online to have CC1 credit limit reduced by £450
- checked for surveys
- fed and watered the chickens and let them out to free-range - ths is important as I get a better rate for free-range, organic eggs
- punched back the bread dough and put it in the airing cupboard fot its final rise
- clean out chickens in exchange for some lovely fresh eggs
- hang washing outside as it looks lovely so far
- go to allotment with a snack and flask of coffee and get some work done

Morning all!
Sorry I've not been around for a few days after promising I would. Its been a bit of a frantic time as OH and I have officially separated and he's moved out:(. I'm okay and actually feel a bit better about the whole thing now something has happened. So, its just me and the dog now.
Yesterday was definitely a spend spend spend day!
I went berserk and bought a new carpet for the box room, new flooring for the hall, downstairs toilet and kitchen (both being fitted on Saturday), a new desk and shelves from Ikea, a wooden blind, a bed chair for the box room, paint and decorating stuff and a lovely picture. I spent around £1000 in all but I do have the money so its all ok - the decorating and flooring is very much needed and I've been putting it off for ages so its a good time to get on with something to keep me occupied.
Today is a stay at home day getting things sorted....- Sort books on old bookshelf and make a big pile of books for the PDSA charity shop DONE
- Clean box room thoroughly ready for decorating DONE
- Move everything out of box room DONE
- Do the emulsioning in the box room DONE -took all day!
- Walk dog lots for fresh air and exercise DONE
- Maybe pop to Mr T for a few bits Didn't bother
- Wait for the delivery of stuff from Ikea (only £15 for everything to be delivered next day - thought that was quite good) DONE - here by 9.30
- Try to stick to healthy eating DONE-ish
- Tidy out downstairs toilet and choose paint colour Chosen and bought paint but not yet tidied
- All food from home DONE
- Stay in tonight (and most nights from now on!) DONE

Today I have/will do:
• Breakfast and lunch from stores
• Being treated to dinner out from boss (we are celebrating)
• Need to do a mealplan for the next week
• LSD – need to pay for mobile top-up but these are budgeted for, so I don’t class this as spending…might chip in for dinner
• Put change in coke bottle
• Read newspapers online
• Watched a couple of things on the sky box
• Checked online banking – no change
• Do online comps
• Not log onto ebay to look at how my auctions are doing
• Done a couple of surveys
• Drink plenty of water

• Put washing on at 30 degrees
• Need to cook last weeks veggies up with some tinned tomatoes to make tomato sauce
Think that is about it – I am sure there will be things I have forgotten.
