    Debt-free and Proud!
    Hello all

    A quiet day hey?? Maybe we are just all enjoying the sun:D

    Thanks katy_ann for starting us off. Wannabee thats some list!!! Am exhasuted just reading it and barbeduk well would be loving to join you and your kids at the dance festival..mine would love it too. they do everything from morris dancing to contemporary to street (oh and ballet as well!:T)))

    Today has been a busy day as DD1's birthday. But MSE in that we had a joint party so me and another mum shared the costs (and hassle!) and we just took 7 kids swimming to a fancy place with slides etc. Then back for a lovely tea. All good.

    This weekend we will:

    - go down to the allotment and finish planting out potatoes, weeding etc, take a picnic/maybe a BBQ.
    - OH will go to the gym - we signed up for this month and it'll have been the first time he has been (I can't go for a bit so will have to wait for that joy! But after enforced rest am keen to get going again!! Miss it and could do with losing a bit..feel sluggish)
    - try and have a NSD on Sunday
    - meal plan for next fortnight
    - update spreaddies
    - check banking and make some PADs
    -update signature on here re CCs and overpayments:T
    - ignore the thought of a Chinese this eve..I am desperate but will try and resist! Maybe do a stir fry instead from the stuff in the fridge!
    - hope for another good day on the panels..yesterday was a record £5.05!!

    Think that's it folks - have a great weekend

  • Hi everyone...

    Not that I'm one to talk but it's quiet on here generally at the moment isn't it? Well I'm still coming on as and when I can because I need all of the help that I can get with my debt free mission.
    Here's my list
    ;) checked bank
    ;) did weekly shop and OH paid (Ald!)
    ;) filled car up with petrol at Asd@ - has gone down 4p a litre since last Friday.
    ;) washing done and hung out on a rare day of sunshine
    ;) little bit of flylady
    ;) dinner with the kids at my mum's house
