01.4.07 what small DFW/MSE thing will you do/have you done today?

Apologises if this thread has already been started for today

(when is hypno back?!)

Today I:

* am doing an extra 5 hours in my 2nd job
* gonna get the bus and walk instead of getting a taxi (which is looking appealing!)
* will eat a roast dinner at work (for free)
* will grab lift home with a colleague
* will not drink if I go out to the pub tonight

Ever wonder about those people who spend £2 apiece on those little bottles of Evian water? Try spelling Evian backward.

    I'm going to have lunch at mums so no spend there and may even make some bread this afternoon with stock already in the cupboard. Apart from that I'm doing very little.

    Hi all

    With it being such a lovely day I'm going to hang out all the washing on the line, and enjoy the sun - free entertainment for the kids too in the garden!

    Am gong to list more on Ebay ( when will it end?!!!)

    Menu plan so that I only spend what I need at Tescos later. Trying to get OH to look after kids when I go so I can be in the MSE zone!

    Be vv good and be like flylady and sort this house out! Then I won't feel so down and then (honest there is a MSE motive) I won't need to spend on junk to make myself feel better!

    I have been cleaning my house.

    I MIGHT be persuaded to start sowing the summers vegetable supply today. It's always a struggle to decide when to start, as it's no use sowing now unless you can plant them in the ground in a months time.

    Have washed 3 loads and they are all blowing dry quite happily on the line. Have cleaned the whole house after visitors that have been here for 10 days :eek: finally left this morning.
    Have sat down and looked through on line banking stuff properly for the first time in ages.
    Have paid off another credit card (just £12 but it's now closed!!!)
    Am going to use up stuff in the cupboards for food this week as I am officially skint due to visitors eating me out of house and home!
    Will submit long overdue meter readings on line to check that my payments are sufficient (may even be too much??? Here's hoping!)

    Good news.... Gran just gave me £150 to treat myself in thanks for her stay with me (tried to say no as she is family but she insisted - fab!!!)


    Hungry now -off to raid cupboards/fridge for something to scoff.

    Today i am going nowhere so haven't spend a penny but have sold my old phone online for £20, and through freefivers.com have joined gala bingo and deposited £5 which will gain me £12.50 cashback and also £10 joining bonus from gala! so hopefully a £17.50 return from £5 spent.
