- decided that Halloween costumes are a total scam and I refuse to dress up for going out tonight - if people ask what I've come as I'll say, "A cynic."
That's totally not in the spirit of things!! Get creative & you can make some very cheap costumes, look at what's in your wardrobe already that you can adapt.:idea:Debt at July 2012: £12,862.57 :eek:

Hello everyone,
I had a great time last night, lots of laughs & my make up didn't melt off my face straight away like I feared, it did actually last pretty well! On the DFW front, despite running out of money towards the end of the night I did refrain from taking out more.

- Check out this weeks flylady thread & do something

- [STRIKE]Do at least most of my Xmas shopping online, remembering to use cashback/nectar where I can[/STRIKE]
- Enter receipts into Mr T's price checker, keep forgetting to do this!

Morning all
Today:
[STRIKE]
HM meals using ingredients I already have in
[/STRIKE] Succumbed to cake and coffee in the supermarket cafe
[STRIKE]Bit of shopping at Mr S, for dog food, washing tablets etc, a few store cupboard items etc using vouchers[/STRIKE] Done, used vouchers
[STRIKE]
Pop in B&Q while out, and try to get a new light bulb for the kitchen. Why are there so many different types of lightbulbs? Why is it so confusing?
[/STRIKE] Managed to work it out, and all kitchen lights now working
[STRIKE]Perhaps also go to garden centre to look for a few plants for the pots in the front garden. Depends if the car park is overflowing - shan't bother if it is, which is very likely, as they seem to have turned the place into a sort of Christmas wonderland[/STRIKE] Got a new thyme for the herb pot to replace the dead one, and a pretty pink dianthus to replace the pansies that a snail had eaten :mad: from B&Q. That was full of really tacky Xmas decorations too! Electric reindeer anyone? :eek:
[STRIKE]
Sort out bowl of windfall apples on dining table (I am really determined this time!)
[/STRIKE] Yes, made an apple sponge with the best ones, gave some bits to the chickens and the rest in the compost bin at last :T
[STRIKE]Text friend and thank her for the flowers she sent [/STRIKE]:) Spoke to her on the phone instead
[STRIKE]No heating on, light woodburner this evening if chilly[/STRIKE] too hot! Got the door open - what is going on with the weather?0
