Morning Everyone!

I couldn't find this thread so I thought I'd start it - if Hypno has already started one please feel free to merge/delete!! When we first start out with DFW, we do a lot of big things that make an immediate difference to out situation, such as cancelling gym membership and cutting up credit cards. It is easy to forget the small steps that we make on a daily basis, but we must be proud of them because they are really important. Today I will:

~ Wash clothes on 30 degrees and dry them on the airer
~ Flylady my house, thus avoiding the shops, and also will have a lovely clean house!
~ Sticking to my meal plan
~ Doing some paperwork

Have a lovely weekend everyone xx

morning atp

unfortuatly today won't involve much mse'ness on my part, am going shopping for birthday presents for me! as this is my first debt free birthday I might spend more than planned :eek: but it'll all be cash so thats a bonus! (and I'll defo need the cheering up as it'll be the only pressies I get on the day)

to counteract it I will,
-dry washing on clothes horse
-take a walk to tesco with a meal plan in mind
-be sensible about what I do spend!!!
-finish off the list of goals for this week on my diary thread.

have a fabulous saturday all xxx

Today I have done / will do the following:

• Piggycomps and clicks (have let the clicks slip the past few days due to tiredness and feeling a bit under the weather).
• Have a sort through my wardrobe for more clothes to sell.
• Am not going out anywhere - saturday is a danger day for me, tempting to quickly run into supermarket and get tasty meal and nice bottle of wine for tonight!
• Am not going out this evening - staying in to watch Strictly Come Dancing!
• Spend some time this afternoon finding polls to do, signing up for stuff for points, writing some movie reviews for test and vote etc...
• Tranferring some money to my savings account so it is untouchable and so I can start trying to save enough to clear a bank loan (one of my new years resolutions is to clear my A&L loan by xmas 2008).

thats about it, need to sort some uni stuff as well. Will be taking lots of boring photos of ebay stuff, thats the bit I hate doing.

I won't upload the listing though until the next cheap listing day!!:rotfl:

Hello :hello:

Today I will be going out for all you can eat buffet chinese, courtesy of my very generous mum, which means no need to eat tonight, so no cost!!

Will also be doing some matched betting hopefully this afternoon.

I need to get something else on ebay, so pledge to list at least one thing today.

Have a good one everyone xx

Packaging up some more stuff sold on ebay and amazon as well as putting some more bits and bobs online to sell. Up to about £80 worth in my Paypal for this past week and it's going into a savings account as of tomorrow.

Also bagged up my coins which is going into the save savings account - all £22.50 of it!

went round to the in-laws place as they are on hols and kindly emptied their fridge of perishables - they told us to!
this'll bulk out tonight's tea and help with a few meals this week. and the beer will help wash it down (i know, not strictly a perishable but it looked lonely in the fridge).

I did a meter reading the other day, just to see how much my washing machine was using. At the same time I was using my laptop and the fridge was running, but it worked out at 0.6 of a unit. So probably about 6p.

Today I have/will:
- transfer money from my current account (0%, should do something about that) to my savings account (not the best rate but I can move money about online between the two in 10 seconds flat and I've had the accounts years)
- stay in ... if you don't go out you can't spend money on stuff you don't need!

I have an immersion heater, which I never use. I don't worry about there being no hot water in the shower room (electric shower). And for washing up I just boil the kettle twice. Must be cheaper to boil 2x2 litres of water in a kettle than to heat an entire immersion heater just to use the same amount of water (or even waste it as there's plenty).
