    Tenth Anniversary Combo Breaker Car Insurance Carver! Debt-free and Proud!
    Evening all,

    Just done the farm vat with DS2. What a depressing mission.

    Had a nice tea, which was much needed after a long tiring day.

    Evening all :)
    Thanks for starting us off PF :)
    Been MIA due to some family stuff - not resolved, sadly, but life goes on....

    Today's list:
    Posted an ebay parcel
    Had haircut (not moneysaving, but it was driving me mad :eek:)
    Popped into sales unit to tidy up / see if restocking needed - it wasn't :(
    Bought a few bits in Waitrose as we were passing, some cheese, pate and chorizo. Chose the brands that were on offer :)
    Watered garden, then half an hour later it absolutely tipped down :rotfl:
    Packed OH off to the recycling centre with prunings from a tree he attacked yesterday (a privet bush that appeared from nowhere in our tiny front garden, and had ambitions to be a sizeable tree :eek:). It is now just an extension to the hedge :)
    Weeded and swept path in front garden, and the paving at the back :)
    Picked a handful of cherry tomatoes :)
    Bagged up the French beans that I open froze yesterday
    Walked dog - free exercise :)
    It is our wedding anniversary - debated going out for a meal but decided not to bother. We have nice fresh vegetables, so I made a frittata with salad. Saved, I dunno, £30 or so (?), and I doubt the meal would have been better than we can do at home :D

    Right, I am determined to do inventories of the freezers this evening, as they are stuffed, and I don't know what is in there!

    Oh noooo.

    Took me a while to work out what you meant there. I was wondering what you were doing with silos.

    I can be so blonde sometimes.

    Evening!

    Today I cracked open a savings pot - we started it 4 years ago and promised ourselves we'd only open when we were having a baby! Baby is t - 11 weeks away and the pot had £190 in it! So that money is going towards the lamp / storage / chair and bedding.

    I've also listed an unopened ovulation kit on ebay - RRP is £44 so I'm hoping to get about £30.

    Also just got my ASDA shop for this week so we'll be eating from that and ONLY that!
    DFW beginning 24/06/16 - current balances as of 28/07/16 are:
    £1320 / £1520 Paypal Credit
    £5413 / £6913 BarclayCard
    Total: £6733 / £8433 Hopeful DFD - October 2016!
    Grocery Challenge August: £56 / £375

    Not feeling great today, banging headache and struggling with coccyx pain (I fractured my coccyx) which means its agony on the bike.

    Ouch! :eek:
