What Have You Done Today That is DFW Style? (Monday 16th April)

Hello! Not sure where hypno is and I couldn't see this thread so thought I would start it.

So - what have you done today to save a few quid or even a few pennies?

I've been quite naughty and spent some money however in an effort to offset it, I have:

* Got a lift to & from work so no bus fare
* Took HM lunch to work
* Posted an EBAY parcel
* Listed a pair of gorgeous trousers on EBAY (gutted but facing facts, they are just too long for me and they'll look rubbish if I get them taken up!)
* Piggy clicks & QuidCo searches
* Negotiated with Water company not to put my water bill up quite as much as they were proposing to as from June! Saved a fiver anyway.
* Argh! Central heating has come on! That's going off when I have finished this thread....

I hope you have all done a few things today too. :)

    Talking is cathartic and will lift you spirits. :naughty:

    I ate the second part of the spare ribs and home made sauce today. :D

    That's it I think... :(
