    Isn't the knowledge that comes from experience more valuable than the knowledge that doesn't?

    Put my scruffy clothes on so I won't leave the house to spend anything, wouldn't be seen dead in the shops in these :eek: and I know I can't be bothered to get dressed into other clothes. Got a stack of housework to do aswell.

    Going to sort through the boys uniform and see if they really do need more clothes for it, I was going to go out and buy some this week, but I am sure they should have more than enough to last them! My son ended up with 12 pairs of school trousers 2 years ago when I just kept buying and buying! Will try to get the stains out of anything badly marked, and repair anything damaged, that would have previously just been binned and replaced, if I can't they will be used for cloths.

    Meal plan needs doing so I can work out what I really do need from the supermarket! Doing a list that I will stick to this week!
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Probably won't leave the house so no spend day. (If I do go out it's to get sleeping pills as I have been sleeping between 3am and noon and have work to get up for tomorrow!).

    I've cut my phonebill DD by £3 as I've paid off the few quid of arrears I had.

    Entering competitions.

    Maybe ... start up the spending challenge again (took a Christmas break), list more things on Amazon and IBootsale.

    My first time posting on here and it's been a busy DFW day for me
    * Cleared 2 debts totalling £138.75 by writing and posting cheques before they get sent to debt collection (transfered the money over from my Paypal account so I know the money is there for it.)
    * Tackled my credit card debt - yikes - will know more after phone call tomorrow
    * Started my SOA
    * Opened 3 months worth of mail to see how bad things really are
    * Just about to set up online banking so I can start balancing my books
    * Had my 4th no spend day this week - AND made 8 portions of soup for my lunches that cost me £1.40 in total - under 20p a day for lunch aint bad really, is it?

    And now I think I deserve a glass of wine (from a bottle given to me!), it's been a bit of a stressful day :o
