Saturday 09/02/08 What small dfw thing have you done today???

mbaz

I am so proud of myself today.

I started my new (2nd) job this morning hoovering a local soft play centre before it opens. Kids are still in bed while I'm there, I earn extra money and they now get in for free whenever we like so will be going there lots!! When I got back we had a free day out at a local garden centre (although I did treat them to an ice cream each!) and I've just done a ppi reclaim for my RBS card - thought it would be about £1000 but its actually amost £3000 and will practically clear my balance!!

About to round off the day with my daily clicks! I love this sight! :j

I got £20 high street vouchers off E-on so I've just been to Wilkos and bought lots of loo roll/washing powder/shampoo etc all on special offer and now I'm off to spend the other £10 in Iceland on food so spent no cash and will have plenty of supplies to keep us going!

Hi everyone,
Today I have:

• dried three loads of washing on the line - just need to air them on the radiators for an hour or two
• Made a huge lasagne - should get three meals out of it (although knowing my pack, I'll be lucky if it lasts for the rest of the day!)
• Made a huge pot of veg soup - just had some now, lovely, should last a couple of days at least
• spent ages [strike]playing with [/strike]updating my spreadsheets - spending diary, price index, pot accounts and savings all back on track

Yet to do today:

• make a shepherd's pie to freeze No - will do in the morning
• make banana bread (to avoid buying sweets/chocolate - have all the ingredients) Ditto
• do out work plan for the next month - aiming for start of seasonal project by mid-March, lots of prep work to organise first. Ditto
• shampoo upstairs carpets (that is dfw, surely, in that the carpets will last longer ) Ditto

Hope everyone's having a lovely weekend!

Edit: houseful of people till now - everything has been deferred until morning!

I always say dont blow dry my hair and they just 'roughly' dry it so I dont catch a cold.

I look like a mess when I leave (and feel a bit of a cheap !!!!) but as soon as Im home I blow dry it and strighten it and it looks fab!

Very good money saving tip!!
