    Hi February Fund Finders,

    Morning!:coffee: W.e.e.k.e.n.d. :j:beer::T



    Determined to make the most of the weekend after a heavy working week. I have absolutely no idea what to do today, or this 'weekend' for that matter. Probably head to the RSPB.

    Last weekend we took some photos of an otter that caught an eel and was pursued by a heron for it across a semi-icy lake. I've done a deal with a press agency for some of the shots. (Google 'eel ticket news' if you want to see the photos.) The photos are popping up all over the place and I get 50-50 on the takings! Some articles have my gender wrong :rotfl: I was still female last time I looked.


    Debt-Free-Nillionaire Continuity Plan Year Four:

    * Check online banking. Done.

    * Check DW's online banking.

    * Check in on eBay selling. Done.

    * Continue my Challenge 500 miles challenge to travel 500 miles for free before the end of 2019: walking, hiking, climbing, cycling, running and swimming. Will walk. Done. 61.2/500.

    * Deep clean whole home with Stardrops and washable cloths. Done. Just kitchen to be done.

    * Tidy out our big cupboard. DW has been in there. Done. That was a big job.

    * Clean all windows instead of paying a 'man' to do it. Done.

    Hello,

    Can i join please i have been reading your posts everyday since the start of January but just not had the guts to post before!! I am in quite a lot of debt not sure of the exact figure(which is really bad) but its close to £6000 which for a PT receptionist who earns less than double that a year is shocking so with the help of your ideas i am trying to cut down on the little things and also having no spend days and setting myself a budget!! Which i have never done but tbh ive never had money left like atm to pay extra off my debts!!

    Anyway ive been and bad today but here goes:
    • spent £8.81 on maccies breakfast my first takeaway of 2019 only because dd is really poorly today and thought it might help - i did feel awful about this spend and i am already working out how to make this myself and the cheapest way possible so dd can have it as a treat next week but made by me!!
    •took dd to her club she didnt make it the whole way through but took my own hot drink instead of grabbing one on the way!!
    • slept all afternoon (think im getting what she has) so been no where to spend anything...little victories!!
    •hm dinner whilst turning all the plugs off in the kitchen...the only problem is i keep forgetting and putting the kettle on and not realising why it hasnt boiled and making cold water tea!!

    Thanks for having me!!

    Xx
