    Mortgage-free Glee!
    Morning everyone,

    Well after my shop yesterday, I am hoping today will be a NSD.

    I have spag bol, chicken casserole, 8 fish pies and lamb stew to bag up into individual portions and freeze.

    Today I will cook up some shepherd pies to freeze as well.

    Fish pie for dinner here!

    Will be reviewing the finances today.

    Hope everyone has a great day.
    :D Thanks to MSE, I am mortgage free!:D

    Today is my first real day of DFW'ness and

    - I have bought sandwiches for lunch
    - I've bought only 75p out with me today for tea/coffee/milk for breakfast and a loaf of bread on the way home.
    - Left my debit card at home.
    - Eaten muesli I bought from home rather than buying a bacon sandwich.
    - Got some sausages out of the freezer for dinner tonight.
    - I intend to sort out our spare room*, partly so I can sleep there at the weekend when my parents are up, and partly because I have loads of stuff I can either sell on ebay or take to a car boot sale.
    - Find out where my nearest car boot sale is held
    - Finally get round to printing 2nd letter to Alliance and Leicester to politely ask for my bank charges back.
    - Get a ebay package ready for postage tomorrow

    *this might be the same goal I have for the next 4 days....

    Evening!

    Well today has been an expensive one (dentist) and an annoying one (left lunch at home so had to buy some food - grrrr) so what have I actually done?

    * Got two free tubes of Colgate Sensitive toothpaste from the dentist - sort of travel sized but still decent enough and free!

    * Did piggy comps & QuidCo searches

    * Was able to take BF's car to work so no bus fare

    * Banked £15.15 in the form of a fiver & some loose change instead of keeping it in purse and no doubt frittering it away!

    * Did an economy cycle wash & dried on line.

    * Collected water from a dripping kitchen tap we have (and am doing it again as I type!) to water the pots of flowers outside with!

    edit: Did some quick surveys on test & vote as well and also reminded boyfriend he owes me half towards his Mum's birthday present that I bought on Sunday!!
    Bank Balance: In the black for the moment.
    Sainsburys Loan: Cleared July 2010
    Credit cards: AMEX Airmiles Card: direct debit set to clear balance monthly
