    Thanks hun. Kinda freaked about it (not sure why, just me being irrational).
    :D Make a list of important things to do today. At the top, put 'eat chocolate'. Now, you'll get at least one thing done today. :D

    Hi all!

    Today, I have...

    ~ done piggyclicks and checked for lightspeed surveys
    ~ eaten all meals from storecupboard/freezer
    ~ used pigsback voucher to buy a cute teddy for friend's new baby daughter, so in essence it cost no "hard" cash!:j

    Nothing else, so has been a bit of a "light" DFW-day here, but am planning to sit and write this week's mealplan this evening, which should help, as I already have bread rolls in the freezer for lunches this week (24 breadrolls reduced to 50p in Asda last week!:D) and am planning for as much as possible to come out of the freezer and storecupboard...;)

    Piglet

    P.S. Happy Birthday for tomorrow, Carolyn :beer: - I was a bit freaked about meeting the big 3-0, but 5 years on, I can honestly say that my thirties have been much better than my twenties...the feeling of being "old" hasn't hit yet :p, and I feel a lot more in control of things!!:rolleyes:

    Thanks folks.

    Not told anyone in my 'real' life, so it's nice to be able to have a bit of a mini crisis on here!!

    today i:
    made lunch and a drink to take into work with me (rather than spending over £3 :eek:)

    left my purse at home so that i couldnt buy anything on my lunch break (i work in a supermarket-temptation is all around!)

    booked a cheapy train ticket home for the weekend rather than having to shell out of petrol later this week

    collected some money for bills off one of my housemates- its not all she owes me but its a start!

    hurray i feel so dfw!

    xx

    Wow piglet, your doing well then, the thought of turning 30 scares the hell out of me, i don't really like birthdays because i don't like getting old and want my time back, never mind what i'll be like when i get to thirty. Pretend you didn't here that though Carolyn:o
