    Hi all,

    I have been lurking again, work is craaaazy at the moment (95 hours of overtime and counting) and it looks like this week is going to be the worst of all! But on the plus side, I have been told that if I finish by Friday I can have a week off :j

    Have not really been doing any DFW things, other than the usual, but I have updated and faffed around with my signature. I've got my total original owed/paid amounts on it now. When i get paid in June it will be 50% gone :T

    Congratulations to all the newly weds/almost newly weds. that is awesome news. I love weddings <3<3<3

    Also well done to everyone for their long and comprehensive lists! Right, Off back to work, have a lovely evening all. Glorious sunshine here on the wirral :)

    Feeling a lot more upbeat today. Have made a biggish decision that has been weighing heavy on my mind for a long time and now I've made a decision I feel so much better, lighter and relaxed - so to me that proves I've made the right decision.

    Managed the majority of my list, most especially the important items. Have managed quite a bit of decluttering too so along with the decision above I'm feeling lighter and brighter all round. Thank you for all your support - you are truly wonderful friends :A

    Night all x

    Hi everyone :hello:

    Quick pop in to remind myself that I am making baby steps...

    Did a couple of 10p surveys
    Bought toast for brekkie instead of croissant - 10p saved :p
    Walked to and from work - no £9 weekly ticket for me :)
    Sat outside reading a book I borrowed from a friend and a library book - £5ish saved there after not buying them myself
    Leftovers for lunch and tea
    Free cuppa in work, not at home
    Kept an eye on our energy monitor and turned the kitchen lights OFF when we're not in there...
    Sorted out the heating so it doesn't come on when it's not needed. We have a log fire for chilly nights
    Booked car hire to visit sis - used 20% discount code
    Checked out car insurance prices - reminded myself it is definitely cheaper to hire a car when I need it every now and again...
    Flexed a half day off work - like a free holiday even though I need to work up an extra 3 hours over the next 4 days
    Did my own nails and eyebrows :cool:
    Uploaded photos to FB and remembered how great my friends are :D

    Yay to the small things. Big love guys :grouphug:
