    Debt-free and Proud!
    Today my DFW deeds have included:-
    • made and sold a handmade card (first one this year :T £2)
    • homemade pizza and batched it so enough for 1 meal next week
    • sold another 4 items on ebay (£21 odd - total ebay sales for the week after fees £109:j :j :j , that's nearly one months DMP payment)
    • piggyclicks
    • put off big shop by another day
    • two line dried WM loads
    • spending diary
    hope everyone has had a good day. I myself am feeling more positive than I was yesterday, but suffering from mouth ulcers (8 at the last count) which are dragging me down a bit. Hope they will be dying down soon (that's stress for you:o ).

    Thanks all, feeling back to normal now (not sure if I've ever been normal...).

    I have achieved much more than I listed above, so very pleased!

    I made an unexpected £30 by doing a couple of jobs for a friend.
    Put some money in my sealed pot.
    Washed 4 loads on 30 quick wash. Just about to put on airers.
    Checked Tesco clubcard points and I have 2025 so far, very chuffed, summer days out here I come! Not bad, thats mostly using extra points vouchers, as I havent been bothering to shop at T lately.
    Ooh and treated myself to a big bottle of pepsi max, but only because it was BOGOF, got a normal pepsi for OH and the kids :D

    Sadly no cheque in post, I am assured it was sent today though :mad: was meant to be with me on 9th!!!
