    DFW-wise today -
    NSD @ home :)
    Crochet for friend's baby pressie
    Eating leftovers
    Shared a bath with OH in the name of money saving :rotfl:

    Big hugs everyone xxx

    • did a 1id1 run.
    • 7 things to list on fleabay as it's still free listing tonight.

    Enjoy the last of the weekend everyone, and if there's any dry weather could you send some to Devon cus we're supposed to be picnicing tomorrow!:D

    Update: so excited, DH is loading my favourite albums onto my phone so I don't need to search out the CDs when he takes the iPod to work. Best Easter present I could have wished for, and free!!!!

  • Hola!
    Happy belated birthday LaE - hope it was a good one.
    Not much of a mse day today as I've been out catching up with friends, however:
    Checked bank
    Took cash out to visit friends to stop me overspending
    Avoided supermarket to stop unecessary spending
    Washed sofa cushions (drying on airer as it's piddling with rain)
    Visited a museum (free)
    Think that's about it for me.

    :)[STRIKE]Take dm home[/STRIKE]
    :)[STRIKE]All meals from stores[/STRIKE]
    :)[STRIKE]Do some studying[/STRIKE] Small amount of work done but every little helps.
    :)[STRIKE]Work on wedding related tasks[/STRIKE] Invites are now posted and guest list written so that I can keep track of who is coming.
    :)[STRIKE]Do freelance work that is in for today[/STRIKE] Another £25 in the wedding fund.
    :)[STRIKE]Pay some money off loan[/STRIKE] Another £100 paid off.
    :)[STRIKE]Daily clicks[/STRIKE]
    :)Do some food shopping [STRIKE]and possibly seed shopping[/STRIKE] Done seed shopping but did not get the food shopping done.
    :)[STRIKE]Look for some good deals on ebay, as present box is looking rather empty after the weekend. [/STRIKE] Had a look but did not buy anything.

    I think that is everything that I need to get done today. Hope everyone has a good Easter Monday.

    Had a productive day today as almost everything is done that was on my list and another £100 paid off my loan :jgetting there slowly. I have worked out that I should have it cleared within another couple of months if I keep up the payments, then I can focus on the other debts.
    Back to work tomorrow so think I will get an early night as I think I am in the process of getting the cold as feeling rather rough tonight.
    Aiming to get Debt Free.
