Thanks to the Tax reform I've got an extra £5 in my pay slip today. It's probably going to be taken off me in some other Tax but I've paid it off my credit card anyway.Official DFW Nerd Club - Member no. 274 - Proud To Be Dealing With My Debts0

Well I was having a great money saving day having brought lunch into work and cycled in rather than driving. Then I got a puncture, and have had to buy a repair kit and pump. I suppose it is an investment though, and cheaper than a new car tyre!0

I'm sorry but I beg to differ - only having 2 bowlfuls of ben and jerrys is an achievement in my book - be proud :j

OK well as I've continued the spending trend today (been to a Body Shop party & a tarot card reading tonight...) the minuscule attempts I've made to be DFW were:
* Take HM lunch to work
* Got lifts to & from work = no bus fare
* Got bought a pint at lunchtime (I spent £0)
* Online C & S
* Got economy washing out on line to dry
* Got 2 pieces of every day 'costume' jewellery worth about £7 each for £1 each :money:
* Have started the ball rolling on a way to earn more money (can't post any more details at this point but don't worry nothing dodgy, pyramid or in any way "sales/outlay-y")
* Felt the stirrings of a DFW rebirth - waiting for full on labour to start really, then I'll be happier.Bank Balance: In the black for the moment.
