Morning peeps!!
Well February has been survived and I look forward to March and that definite move into spring.
My small steps for yesterday and today include:
- continued NSDs for the lent money challenge
- changed the childrens pocket money bank accounts to ones with higher interest
- sticking to my meal plan for the week
- adding up my ebay totals for the month and checking my current disastrous financial status online!!
Have a good day everyone x

* Have done C&S.
* Put a load of washing on line in the sunshine (it's very windy here!)
* Am not putting heating on even though I am off all day as it seems very warm to me (or is that the fever...??)
*Went through my paperwork earlier today getting things in order/throwing out old stuff....looked lovingly at all the letters from the credit card companies confirming that they had closed my accounts at my request..:lovethoug
* Didn't even *look* at the clothes catalogue that was sent to me (unsolicited) just put it in the recycling (after shredding the letter with my name on).
* Will be posting something to another DFW later to help them in their DFW quest!Bank Balance: In the black for the moment.

Afternoon guys

I came home from work sick today, really didnt want to come home though, had a bad stomach. Feeling a little better now and just managing a little soup, see if that stays put
Annnyway....
The other week I wrote to Barclays to claim back the overdraft protection I had payed out that I didnt know I had and a general rant.
They have offered to give back £30 but they owe me over £200 so will get on the phone to them in a while.
I am also considering whacking a load of stuff on ebay if i feel better later.
I think thats about it for today
