    Good evening everyone...

    I have been very, very un-DFW this bank holiday weekend :o I think because I've been on the wagon for so long now I just needed to splurge, & unfortunately we really did splurge! Not on rubbish tat for once, so I guess I have learnt something...but I'm sure I could have resisted at least the clothes & DVDs on other days! Maybe not the jewellery though, as I can wear them for my wedding next year :D I've been a bit better today but really want to slap myself for spending so much, need to rejig the budget now too!

    So here's a little list from me to try & get me back on the straight & narrow:-

    • [STRIKE]Used freebie deodorant that I have been paid to trial[/STRIKE]
    • [STRIKE]Used freebie moisturiser[/STRIKE]
    • [STRIKE]Shared a pizza with OH for lunch[/STRIKE] (couldn't really avoid this expenditure as out with friends as one of them is leaving to go to Canada for at least a year!) Did say no to going to the cinema later though, & just had a pint of water in the pub...
    • [STRIKE]Check online banking[/STRIKE]
    • Rejig budget
    • [STRIKE]Check for surveys[/STRIKE]
    • [STRIKE]Enter comps[/STRIKE]
    • [STRIKE]Charge phone via pc[/STRIKE]
    • [STRIKE]Check out flylady thread & do something![/STRIKE]
    • [STRIKE]Washing on eco setting[/STRIKE]
    • [STRIKE]Hang up to dry[/STRIKE]
    DNMS - Thanks for starting us off, you certainly have been busy today!
    Aria - Happy anniversary, hope your OH has perked up a bit now & is treating you to something special this evening!
    Hello to all the newbies, & oldbies that haven't posted for a while!

    We're not married but 'officially' been together 4 years (known each other for about 13 but took ages to get round to it!).
