Tuesday 24th May - What Small Debt Free Wannabe things will you do today?

Bobarella

Make the change sorry to hear that. Hope he feels ok for tommorow.

Other small things from me today

- PAD £1.44 to round off the balance
- Went to Superdrug to collect my growing family pack which is via Bounty. I know not everyone agrees with Bounty. I got 2 full sized baby food pouches one sweet one savory and some small sized samples of toothpaste and vitamins. Probably worth around £3 in all. I do make my own baby foods and give appropriate adult foods too for finger food but happy to have some things to use on a day out.
- Rounded up £3 in change from house pots.
- Dinner will be spagetti and tinned toms for DS. Will liven it up with some of the pulled pork from the weekend and some melted cheese.

Had a great day so far and am in the good books with DH and DS - our local team is playing at Wembley on Saturday and I've managed to get us 3 tickets - will be a massive treat as we had to cancel the week away we had planned for next weeks half-term, I also won some tickets last week for a theme park so that will be another great day out. Off to cook tea and finish my list.

Wow, that is an odd-one - it's a few years old as I haven't worked for 3 years now and it's my post - very strange
