I saw earlier that you were not going out which is good for DFW, however you do have to build in some occasional treats otherwise you are more likely to fall of the wagon. A bottle of wine and a special home cooked meal can be romantic and cheap! Some folk recommend candles to save on electricity but personally I can't stand them!0

had a good day today, still at work tho grrrrr
still feeling positive, I suppose I will get used to spending more time indoors :rolleyes:
freebies today....
diet coke x2
mars bars x2
pints of milk x2
not doing too bad!
also..OH's work colleague is getting rid of a leather 3pc suite, he said we can have it for nothing as he just wants shot of it, so tomorrow im borrowing my dads truck and going to pick it up... guess what.. I think ive already got a buyer at £120!! this has really given me a boost today! that means we can do a big grocery shop, get haircuts and put the rest on a card!!
yay!!:j
sorry for waffling.... im worried that this DFW business is seeming more fun to me than it should, i know its not going to last, its only been a cpl days since my LBM!
hope everyone else has had a little luck today too

Morning everyone....
heres the plan for today:
up bright and early to go help my mum with some cleaning... could be £20 for me in that!
borrow dads truck with OH and go pick up the free leather sofa that a friend is giving away and go try n sell that (may have a buyer already!)
take grandma shopping, she said she will treat to a few bits in m&s :j
should be a no spend day apart from the toll for the bridge (when we pick the sofa up) its £1.80 each way but should be able to make that back from the sale of the sofa!
wish me luck!
positivity levels are dipping a bit... possibly due to alarm going off at 6am!
will post later
have a great saturday everyone
