1.3.07 what small dfw thing will you do/have you done today?

It's March!!

So, having made small steps every day during Jan and Feb, today I will be:

- updating my totals and amending my various spreadsheets/notebooks
- having another NSD as per the Lent money challenge
- I have made a loaf of bread rather than buy one
- making carrot and coriander soup as I have a fridge full of carrots
- stick to my meal plan
- write a couple of complaint letters

Have a good day everyone and let us know what you will be doing today x

    Hi
    I have brought lunch into work (forgot yesterday).
    Finding something to cook at home that doesn't involve processed potato products tonight!
    Having a NSD to compensate for silly spending this week.
    Pigsback clicks.
    Going to bed early to avoid eating food I don't need and therefore saving food money! :)

    Hi hypno06
    Not been in work today as poorly. This helped me to spend zero amount! Also cooking tea from what we have in the house, so that will be nutloaf, roast potatoes and veggies.

    Bagpuss741 hope you feel better soon :smiley:

    I don't believe in the concept of hell, but if I did I would think of it as filled with people who were cruel to animals.
