    I really need to try posting on here more to keep motivated, falling off the wagon a bit! Not increasing debt, but spending.
    - I took some chili to work that was left over from tea last night
    - claimed my £2.89 on petty cash at work
    - had tea at mums, saving my food for another day
    - will sort out posting my ebay packages

    Hello!
    Haven't done the ebaying yet :( but did learn it's 5p listing day this Thursday and have OH motivated to ebay as well so that's good.

    Today:
    - Accepted multiple mystery shops
    - Took lunch to work
    - NSD, for me anyway, tho not OH.
    - Did piggyclick
    - Did kelkoo quidco click

    Hmm can't think of anything else at the moment.

    Debt-free and Proud!
    DFW deeds went out of the window today, after I got a phone call from Virgin Radio to say I had won £500!!!

    However before phone call I managed:-
    • packed lunches for both DS's instead of school dinners
    • made muffins for after school treats
    • pasta and cheese for tea for DS's (cheap cupboard meal)
    • checked mystery shops (none in my area)
    • surveys
    • piggyclicks
    • made a birthday card for dear friend instead of buying
    • used a friend (hairdresser) to get my hair cut instead of going to salon
    Right that's me done for today, off to the land of nod.
