    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:

    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!

    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!

    Hey Dnms

    I'm not off anywhere, no such luck. OH has been on tour for 6 weeks in New Zealand, Aus, Japan and Hawaii and is back tomorrow.

    I know, his job sucks :p :rotfl:
