  • 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.

    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!

    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.
