    Cleaned my bathroom from top to bottom today so got a good work out!

    Files some paperwork and recycled some of it for the kids to draw on.
    Hubby mowed the garden so the little ones are having a free play in the garden. Older two are playing footie at the field near our house.

    All going to the flicks tonight but have got a voucher for 2 free children. (not to gain 2 more - but to get them in for free!!!)

    Taking sweets, crisps etc from home.

    1. Made all meals from storecupboard items rather than do a big shop

    2. Listed an item on eBay (Just one - don't know whether this weekend will be very good for sales as it's a Bank Hol and lovely weather) :confused:

    3. Listed a few of my old books on www.greenmetropolis.com

    4. Listed a few unwanted coupons on the swaps board at www.paidtoshop.com

    5. Had a no-spender! :j

    6. Going to dust off the little-used breadmaker and rustle up a homemade loaf. :o

    Happy Easter everyone! :wave:

    Good evening everyone - have been out all day doing not very DFW things. OOPS, but in my absence my OH did put some washing out on the line to dry so that will have to do for today.....:rolleyes:

    Back to my small steps tomorrow...
