    Happy Easter everyone, looks like lots of early posters!

    Am hoping for a productive day, especially after my crap day yesterday!

    My dfw things for today:
    -Play some free bingo, thanks to a code i received for a free £20 from a bingo site i used to play on ages ago. - Done, now trying to arrange it so that i play enough of the free money in order to be able to withdraw!
    -Make a nice Sunday lunch - Done
    -Sort out whether it is ok for me to do the mystery shops today because i was unable to do them yesterday, then do the mystery shops tonight.- Sorted now and no probs
    -Do some studying for O.U course - Finished one unit and part way through another, will finish later whilst on the bus to my mystery shops, if i've got to go out i may as well make the most of it!
    -Do some studying for massage course - Folder sorted and up to date.
    -Do my daily clicks - Done
    -Work through emails - Done
    -Check online banking
    -Sort out putting bookmarks from old computer onto new computer
    -Dry, iron and put away rest of clothes - Done
    -Sign up for tesco clubs in the hope of earning more clubcard points - Done
    -Check what food i have and do some meal planning with it, in the hope of making it last longer - Done
    -Look at placing an online shops and finding a code to use
    -Look at what veg i can grow in pots in the hope of cutting down on the food bill - Done
    -Clean bathroom, do hoovering and mop floors
    -Look on here for more ways of making/saving money - Done

    Think thats it for me, although the household jobs are not dfw it helps me to concentrate on what i do have to do so hope no one minds.

    Enjoy your Easter everyone.

    Millie, good luck with making all that jewellery, sounds like you'll be busy.

    Sorry :o

    Ever wonder about those people who spend £2 apiece on those little bottles of Evian water? Try spelling Evian backward.

    Hi,

    Went to my Weight Watchers meeting, and found that in 2 weeks, I have put on 3lb's (so angry with myself,my current weight number scares me, and makes me realise that my thoughts of having a baby are slipping away :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::eek::mad::mad::mad:) - sorry for the icons, its how I feel!

    Anyhow back to DFW:
    • Mum bought me a coffee (saving £3.60)
    • I had to put petrol in the car, so that was £40 (petrol is so expensive at the moment)
    I am about to have a shower (wash this morning out of my hair so to speak :rolleyes:), then I will be having lunch with my mum and nan, and then make a healthy carrot cake.

    Oh, and I will try to find a notebook, so that I can do Candy's weight loss journey - the emotional side of weight loss, then sell the publishing rights to a big publisher, make £millions :T:T:T, pay off my debts, have plastic surgery (lipo) and live happily ever after sailing the high seas.

    Sounds like a plan

    Try not to get too down about the weight issues, just take it a day at a time and you will get there eventually. :grouphug: sending you a dodgy hug.
    Reduce,re-use, recycle.

    Hi All (again)

    Thanks for all the (dodgy looking) hugs.

    Funny how a shower can make the world of difference. Used a really nice shower gel, left the conditioner on for ages and generally chilled out.
