She is a marvel daisy..an inspiration to us all
I do know exactly what you mean re doing something everyday. For a long time in 2012 the What little DFW things did you do today thread was a mainstay of my keeping on the straight and narrow (ish!)
Have to say though it has caught me out today. I noticed the CC I use for work expenses had been declined a couple of times..thought it was me. But then realised it had been stopped. Phoned to ask why and they said it was because several 'tester' payments of a £1 or less had been made! (even though they were credits not debits as it were...) They thought it was a fraudster trying to test my account! Not really funny but I did say to the lady what I did, and rounding it down.. (Didn't call it a Tilly Tidy though! :rotfl: ) but that's the last time I will do this with that particular card! :rotfl:
Just had a lovely tea with family. Now homework calls for them. But nice to be at home and chilling for once. Clubs done for the eve..blissMFiT-T4 Member No. 96 - 2022 is my MF goal

Indeed, good suggestion, although I like the idea of the balance going down before my eyes........it might be worth the risk of the embarrassing phone call for me x
