    I've been Money Tipped! Debt-free and Proud!
    Afternoon All :) It's a lovely (but cold) day here today, but i got my boiler fixed so we now have hot water and heating..lovely!

    Today i have/will:

    -Been to work

    -Checked OLB. This is confusing me because i have £45 more then i should have! I have checked (double and triple!) that there are no DDs or SOs due to be paid (there aren't) so i am going to leave that £45 in there until payday. If it's not needed it'll go straight into savings.

    - Read paper online instead of buying

    -Ate breakfast & lunch from meal plan instead of buying from tesco :)

    -Having a quick meal from home before cubs tonight-cheesy pesto pasta

    -Defrost mince for tomorrows Cottage pie

    -Keep the tumble dryer off

    -Switch boiler off (have had the heating on for 1hr this afternoon to heat up the place).

    -Have written lists for Christmas stocking fillers and started buying a few bits. I have logged in to amazon etc and added what i need to my basket.So that all i need to do on pay day is log back in and check out and pay :)

    -Put sofa throws on a 'quick & cool' wash in the machine instead of getting them dry cleaned.

    -Think i'll bake some choc chip cookies later, and maybe a sponge cake with chocolate buttercream filling.

    -Carry on reading my current book instead of browsing tesco for a new one.

    -Walk to cubs instead of driving (possibly..not too sure on this one!).

    have a great day, and thanks to ZIGGY for starting us off today :)
