  • Well it was quite a busy and pleasant weekend pottering on with the Great Garage De-Clutter project and a few other things…..
    • Sorted four bags of rubbish and a couple of piles of other stuff. Quite a bit can go in the council’s re-cycle bins such as cardboard, papers, odd bits of wood and planks and some old car metal parts.
    • Planted broccoli, cabbage and parsley seeds in pots – hooray
    • Painted the inside of the garage door and frame – a nice glossy white :rolleyes:
    • Topped up the bird feeder with peanuts
    :D

    -Try and enter some comps if i have time
    -Do any surveys i may have received
    -Have looked for mystery shopping jobs but haven't found any

    I ordered my Credit Report (the online version refuses to work for me so paid my £2 online today for a paper copy!).

    I bought tobacco instead of cigarettes - I know smoking isn't exactly DFW-esque but at least this way it's cheaper and will last me longer!

    And I'm making dinner out of whatever I can find in the freezer instead of going to Asda!
