3.1.07 What small DFW/MSE thing have you done/will you do today?

Good Morning everyone!
My small DFW thing today is going to be to look at opening one of the current accounts through Quidco, to earn myself £50 cash back. I can then use the new account to have my child benefit to be paid into, from which I can directly pay the children's activities - karate, skiing, guides, etc.
Also, one more thing on ebay.
Remember, from little acorns, great oak trees grow! All those small DFW activities DO add up.

A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

Will post cheque to water company, and then write up all my draft letters ready to send when I move house.

Today I'm going to buy a cable for my camera. Not very DFW but it means I can get all my gothic dresses on Ebay and hopefully make a fortune! So DFW in a roundabout sort of way.
I'm also going to go through my bank statements tonight, because Barclays are defending my charges claim, stating they have no evidence. Um, excuse me, but it was YOUR business banker that told me how uch they were! So I'm going to get my £2.5k back thanks very muchly.This year I'm getting organised once and for all, and going to buy a house with my wonderful other half. And that' s final!
Current Pay Off Target : £1500 :mad:0 -
look at reclaiming my PPI on several loans, and sending my letters to reclaim bank charges?
also gonna contemplate buying a bigger money bank and putting my money in it where the banks can't touch!!!
