The little & often achievement thread!

Ok my friends, the weathe is dire (raining again here in Cardiff) and so called summer is almost over so the winter blues will soon be upon us....To keep the bues away I thought it would be really good to have a thread to celebrate the small (or big!!) achievements along the DFW journey! It doesent need to be a financial one but the point is to revel in our little but often achievements; remembering that THIS is how we will pay everything off!
So to kick off....
One more sale on ebay this am and got £224 back from council tax payment yesterday & due money back from envirophone. Also realised that my TV listing mag cost me over £50 a year & thats gone now. The achievement there being that for some silly reason I really struggled to stop buying it because I felt I needed it!! Doing OK with one online but if anyone has a good one with simular layout to TV mag one I'd be grateful for a link!!
Any more?

    I always use radiotimes.com - their layout is pretty simple and you can sign up and then choose which channels you want displayed. They are the best free one around.

    I have found it really useful as it is laid out like a listing magazine and you can change it to different channels including regional variations.
