I really like this thread, so here it is week 2...
This week I:
* have arranged an impromptu night away in Hastings with a few mates tonight (not sure budget can stretch to much... but I like soda and lime and free entertainment!!!!
)
* have been into Costa-lot coffee twice this week :eek: :eek: :eek:
Forgive me Martin for I have sinned.....
... and so begins to new weekly 'confess your DFW sins' thread... a place to repent your splurges and non DFW activities during the week... I'll begin...

Ever wonder about those people who spend £2 apiece on those little bottles of Evian water? Try spelling Evian backward.

bad habits started creeping in last week with a few extra visits to Tescos ( but I really needed the chocolate ) so have set a meal plan for this week and done my shopping this morning and will be sticking to it this week

I've been terrible this week, we bought a tower fan thingy for ds's bedroom (much needed as it gets very warm in there in summer) which cost £20, and then today we've been to the cinema to see Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, which cost £15. Bad, bad, bad!"I wasn't wrong, I just wasn't right enough.":smileyhea97800072589250

Awww snaggles don't be so hard on yourself cos I bet your DS had a lovely time at the cinema and family time together is so precious. And it sounds like the fan is much needed.
As for me ,well I have not been *too* bad this week actually but I did spend nearly a fiver on Wednesday on chip & dip & a bottle of lager to consume whilst watching the Man Utd & AC Milan game....only to find it wasn't actually on terrestrial tv :rolleyes:
I have also given in and put the heating back on a bit this week (such a light weight!).Bank Balance: In the black for the moment.
