  • Hello All,

    Today I have and will:
    Brought in lunch from home - BBQ leftovers but does mean I'll be "earning" money as I'm on expenses today so 3 quid there, woo hoo!
    Drove in to work with DH thereby again "earning" on expenses and helping the environment too
    Will be eating yet more BBQ leftovers tonight and prob most of this week!

    Hmmm, bit of a theme there!

    I'm going to post a question now about renewing insurances in a DFW way so please help clever people!

    Hugs,
