Hi everyone
Crikey, what a day it's been - work is manic. Getting back into more of a routine again, which is good, but also stressing about £££ as per usual… Need to make an extra £200 this month - £100 from yoga and £100 ebay sales but not sure what I've got to sell…
Perni & DNMS - I've no idea how to post photos on this site - do you need to link to a hosting site? I'm thinking of putting a pic of him on Pinterest and there are some photos on FB - Shall I look out for you on Missy Determined's friend list, perni...? Hope I can find you there…
Perni - About the flower preservation thingy - was the biggest waste of money! Actually makes me feel a bit sick that I spent about £200 on it. £90 on a framed photo with a buttonhole in the corner - the photo was just pritt-stuck on a backing paper (not mounted) and I've noticed the flowers are starting to look old already. Wish I'd just hung my bouquet upside down and dried them out myself. I got another frame too, which split my bouquet into three and put a few flowers in a split frame with three windows. That one looks nice but probably just as good as something you could get from M@talan for a tenner. Think that was over £100.
Today I'm going to:
- Leftover bolognese for lunch with T's 'value' spagetti - can't tell the difference, esp just for lunch for work
- Off to pound shop with the last £3 in my purse
- Walking home from work in the rain to save myself £1.40
- £3 on surveys - just another 66 surveys to go and I'll make my £200 :rotfl:
Taking it easy :cool:0 -

Hi all,
Late check in today. Internet was playing up earlier. I think I've probably done most of my DFW stuff today:
- 2 loads of laundry (had to use tumble to dry unfortunately)
- use the halogen heater instead of putting the heating on
- Check online banking
- Superpoints clicks
- Update snowball calculator
- Onepoll surveys (screened out of 1, 15p from the other)
- Post ebay bits
Unfortunately the car's in the garage so it's definitely not going to be a NSD, despite me staying in the house all day.
Hope you've all had a productive day and it's not been too much of a wash out!Debt free in

Hiya all
Loving that the sunshine is back. Shame work is such a giant pain in the proverbial at the moment. Must be karma evening it out.
Today I will / absolutely must / have / should
* All meals from stores (including free cakes and work for someones birthday)
* Check bank (all DD's out today, hurrah for the first of the month! £5 spare this month after fuel and £20 / week for groceries / incidentals... might have to rethink this debt free thing!)
* Yet another load of washing (pretty sure the neighbours are sneaking there's in with mine)
* clean through the upstairs of house
* Dye hair (getting fairly good at home dying, saves £79 at the hairdresser!!!)
* Clean through downstairs of house
* Clear out junk from back of car
* Early night as up early to go to Heathrow in the morning!
Have a good one all!
