Morning everyone. Thanks to bt1 for starting us off
Great news MMM (that's assuming that you are happy with the development, of course)
Gf and I went to the Ideal Home Exhibition yesterday using some free tickets that I'd got via a link on this site. Had a really lovely day, only spoiled by the fact that I can't afford any of the wonderful things that they had on display!!!
Had a quick walk round some of my old haunts afterwards, as I lived in the Kensington area for three years when I first left home, so from being 18 to 21, and had mostly very happy times there. Ended up in one of my old pubs for a few beers before getting the train home, which isnt really very DFW at all, but I did manage to talk the barmaid into letting me take three free glasses home for my beer glass collection
Today I have/will
Checked online banking
Used free toiletries in the shower
Walked to station
Read free paper
Charged phones at work
Free coffee/water at work
Buy only what is on my shopping list
Leftovers for dinner tonight
Have a great day everyoneDebt free since December 2015. It can be done0 -

I'm having a no spend day (not by choice sadly, I have got literally nothing to spend until pay-day on Friday!).
As usual, I went home for lunch, so no spends on lunching out and no tempting myself by perusing the shops on my break!
Tonight for dinner I've got yummy chilli in the freezer I made in the slow cooker last week. That thing is a god-send.0
