24.1.07 what small DFW/MSE thing will you do/have you done today?

Good Morning peeps:hello:

So, the snow has arrived and the children are disappointed to know that their school is still open :rotfl:

Today I have paid some ebay proceeds directly off DH's credit card so that I can't be tempted to spend them elsewhere.

We realised when doing packed lunches that we had run out of bread, so instead of taking the easy option of cash for school meals, I made cous cous salad for everyone to take with them.

I will be putting some more bits on ebay, and using storecupboard bits for dinner again.

I hope everyone has a good day and happy snowball fighting!!:snow_laug

    Today will be selling day, have some things to list up on Livejournal communities and some more bits to go on ebay. Have parcels sitting waiting for me at the post office but as they are a HUGE pair of knee length platform boots and some hair i bought for work... i think they can wait till saturday morning when i can take the car.... Can you imagine the size of the tube the hair would come in, 22" long and 100m wide all rolled up!!

    Hopefully will back some more pennies from sales... i REALLY hope i make enough to go in the pot... and to get a new tattoo... but shhhh, dont tell Mr Ancasta that... ;)


    Hope all that follow have a good day , and you too hypno
  • Snowing here too, so glad am working at home today (drove back from Cheshire last night before snow started).

    I have made a huge pot of lentil and bacon soup this morning which should last me through to Friday for lunch. Just about to put the BM on to make a nice loaf so I get fresh bread with it! Yum!:D
    :D Thanks to MSE, I am mortgage free!:D

    Ever wonder about those people who spend £2 apiece on those little bottles of Evian water? Try spelling Evian backward.
  • Interesting question - platform boots and wigs??
