    Today in the post I got a brilliant RAW reading swap pack. Loads of free books...now I know it's not strictly for this purpose but all my family love reading so i'll be using them for stocking fillers this Christmas! Great stuff!
    I've checked online banking and my last 2 bills for this month have finally gone out. Thank God!
    My aim today is to sort out the house and eat lots at work... Especially fruit and veg. as we find them the most pricey when we shop!
    I've printed out bounty coupons for next time I shop and will try and find the Dolmio sauce for as cheap as possible as i've got a £1 off voucher for it now...
    Ummm that's it for today. I'll check back later from work...3 weeks to go then i'm off on mat. leave! Woooo Hoooooooo!
    Well done Cleosmum! That's FAB! I hope you feel better tooo.

    Debt-free and Proud!
    Think DH has finally come round to the DFW way of thinking cos he was on a training course today that included a lunch buffet, so at the end he asked the girls to pack up the remains and brought it home for our tea:rotfl: .
    1. also managed to pick up two mystery shops for the weekend
    2. no heating on today (despite it being decidedly chilly)
    3. DS found 6p lying on the ground (1p of which he is convinced a duck gave to him :confused: )
    bit slim on the ground today, will try harder tomorrow.
