16.3.07 what small dfw thing have you done or will you do today?

Woo hoo, it's Friday again :j

So in celebration of that (:confused: ) why not let us know what small DFW/MSE thing you will be doing today.

Remember, every little helps, from small acorns big oak trees grow and other such sayings.....:D

Today I will be going to the bank to do my paying in, and will exchange my change from my change jar and pay it off a credit card.

I will be aiming for a NSD other than the childrens Red Nose Day donations at school.

Packed lunches made for everyone and chili for dinner that I previously batch cooked from the freezer.

Have a good day everyone x

    Ooh, I am no friend of barclays either - yesterday they put a late defence in against my bank charge reclaim......:mad:

    Every victory against them, however small, is a victory indeed!

    Paying money to Crown Loans. :D

    But unfortunately, as I'm having a party tonight I'm going to be buying some ciggies. Although I gave up, I still can't break the drunk smoking. And everyone would get really annoyed with me if I kept asking for a ciggie.

    :o

    Beth... your the host.... you deserve to bum ciggies of everyone else!

    Instead of bring a bottle.. make the rules bring a bottle and 10 tabs!
  • I am going to ring up the water board and query why my new yearly bill is £496.83 (thankfully i have overpaid them by £100 last year, i owe alot of people alot of money yet i have managed to overpay them by such a large amount, dont know how that has happened)
    Anyway hopefully they will say it is an error or they put mineral water through my taps, in which case i will start selling it to make money, hopefully i will sort it out and lower the monthly costs to them, every penny helps.
    Also made a saving of £51 yesterday :j , queried a bill with powergen, turns out they had charged me for gas on 1 bill then added it onto another bill aswell, these companies are really annoying me at the min, hopefully if i pay them off soon i can go to a cheaper company, at the min i am stuck there inless i pay in full (yeah like that is going to happen)
