Morning peeps!
The weather continues to be good, so enjoy it for free and let us all know what small dfw steps you are taking in your quest to become debt free. These are likely to be things that you never considered doing pre-LBM, such as taking your lunch to work, or drying washing on the line instead of the tumble dryer etc.
Today I will be:
- taking DS to buy school shoes, and only buying school shoes
- giving the court a call to find out the progress of Hypno v Barclays
- pay my bagged up loose change off a credit card
- sticking to pasta week menu (yesterday was tomato and bacon pasta and today will be tuna and vegetable pasta)
Have a good day everyone, and enjoy the free sunshine x

Oh no its back to work for me today - I am SO NOT looking forward to it! Today I am going to
- photocopy the letter I've written to Citi to try and get money back that I paid to Garden Factory who then went into administration with my money and send the letter off.
- Count up the coins in the money jar (when I get home from work) - sorry hypno, pinched that idea from you.
- Do the daily clicks and enter some Pigsback comps.

Hello!!! I like your idea of a pasta week Hypno - I sometimes have beans on toast week's - not particularly healthy but I make sure I get fruit & veg somewhere else in the day!! :rolleyes:
Today I have spent $2.80 on a hot choc - a bit annoyed, but never mind!! Went home for lunch and wont be spending tonight so its not too bad.
So I guess I havent really done anything dfw!
A bit gutted that my ebay items havent sold or even got bids on them - really need the $$$$ for my "Stay Away Fund". Ebay seems really slow at the moment....
My flatmate uses the tumble dryer ALL of the time - he drives me nuts!!! :mad:
Anyway, have a good day folks. xx0 -
Ms London, we have various themed "food weeks" including, pasta week, sausage week, egg and chips week, beans on toast week, and soup week!
Once, Morrisons had blueberries going really cheaply, and I was SO tempted to try blueberry week, but couldn't make myself believe that the family would go along with it!!Successful women can still have their feet on the ground.

Incidentally, I got a client payment into my Natwest today, so I've just used that feature for the first timeDebts (26.3% remaining) - CC/BARC: [strike]2058[/strike] 100.00 @0%; CC/MBNA: [strike]1877.75[/strike] 0.00; Loan/SLC: [strike]10000[/strike] 7901.84 @1.5%; Loan/Per: [strike]1500[/strike] 0.00; Loan/HX: [strike]15000[/strike] 0.00
