  • Evening all!
    Today I have:
    • dried clothes indoors
    • ate from food cooked yesterday
    • had a NSD
    • went to bed for the afternoon (not sure how that's DFW, but was shattered!)
    • woke this evening to chocolate cake my dds made - a friend called, so we had that and coffee here instead of going out
    • lunch stuff sorted for the week from storecupboards
    • meat and veg taken from freezer for tomorrow's dinner
    That's it. Lazy day today! Hope everyone had a good weekend!
    I'm an adult and I can eat whatever I want whenever I want and I wish someone would take this power from me.

    today has been a HUGE day for me!!!

    this morning I have paid off my overdraft!!! for the first time in 6 years I will not be using it as free cash. have called the bank and had it reduced from £1250 to £100 for emergancies only. woo hoo

    I have transferred my £3000 credit card debt (spread over 3 cards) on to 1 0% interest card.

    also have cut up 6 cards this morning. 4 credit cards and 2 bank cards for accounts that I dont use.

    tomorrow I will call the banks/credit card companies and cancel all account that are now not being used.

    God, arnt sundays great!!!

    Also just remembered - have written to phone insurance to cancel cover for mobile (just reading terms and conditions and realised cover is for 5 years!!!!) so thats and extra £5.99 per month.
