    Hi everybody,

    and a big welcome to the Newbies. :)

    In an attempt to be able to throw more pennies at my debts, for the forseeable future Hubby and I are using up all the food/stuff in our cupboards and freezer. So I've done a Meal Plan (which is posted on the Meal Plan thread over on the Oldstyle forum) and my shopping list for this week is comprised of 4 items (garlic bulb, marmite, frozen peas and mushrooms), so fingers crossed I will be able to post a whopping amount off my debt next weekend :T

    Good luck with your debt reduction plans this week y'all.

    ETA: I'm also taking a dress back to the store for a refund. It's not reducing the debt, but at least the money is staying in my pocket. I may pay the refund to the debt - I will have to think about this one.

    ok DFW'ers I need your thoughts :o

    Well ive won a silk scarf, its one of those ones thats a square of silk and you fold it in half? Its worth a whopping £79.99 :eek: :eek: well im thinking of giving it to my nana . . but . . . well . . . its got beetles on it :o

    Its this one ---> http://craigfellows.bigcartel.com/product/beetle-bum-fashion-scarf what do we think? would an 80+ year old woman think this was nice or think 'omg my grand daughter has given me bugs to wear round my neck!' as a side note she does love her silk scarves, its just the design of this im a bit worried about as I dont wear things like this, does anyone here like it? :o
