• took the kids to the beach and beach combed all afternoon.
• NSD (first one in ages)
• helped out at a friends childrens party this morning and was given a box of Roses as a thank you(all gone now:rotfl: )
• checked ebay
• checked mystery shops (none, nil, nada, zilch:mad: )
• visited the allotment and watered plants
• line dryed two loads from WM
• entered competitions

hope everyone had a fantastic Bank Holiday, we did, the weather here on the Kent coast was absolutely brilliant.

Hi - did my first car boot sale in a long while today - £20 up on the morning

Went into town for the town fete (a churches re-united sort of do) - to my delight everything was free (with a medium queue) - bouncy castles, climbing wall, and best of all a pig roast - so got a free lunch out of it !!

other MS things:

• NSD
• Sainsbury's fruit & fibre (50p they are at least 95% as good as the original)
• Taught my DS to like Tesco Value Porridge (40p for a month's worth) - I'm not Scottish but his grandfather is
• Gave in when my DS insisted on his favorite supper (Tesco Value Noodles 8p)

Sounds like everyone has had fun and saved money today:T :T :T
Well done everyone:D It's nice to have regular posters on this thread now as it is building into a little community.

It's thanks to you, sophiesmum, for starting it every day - keeps us all on the DFW journey despite what 'carp' comes in to hijack our travels!! I love reading about what we've all been up to - inspires me and gives me much needed push in the right direction!
3 cheers for sophiesmum I say!

No great strides from me today really, though it has been an NSD and we stayed home. Most ebay buyers have paid already which is cool, so I just wrote out all the addresses so I can post things in the morning. Kinda gave myself the day off - spent most of it in the garden reading a book (once I'd put the final touches on finishing the patio!). OH listed and sold a couple things on ebay though.

Just wanted to post to say hello and popping into this thread daily is part of my day now too really... yes, I actually put the computer on just to come and do this, haha.

edit: oo I forgot, made another £7.03 on eBay myself too.

Well, posting a bit late, but better than never (I cant sleep)
- went for a free walk = free fresh air
- made a charitable donation as a wedding present for a friend (oxfam unwrapped - bought some school books for Kenyan children), the couple have been together a long time and I figured this is better than buying them another kettle
- washed the throws on my sofa - helps keep sofa clean when I have a 1 yr old
- didnt actually do much else
