    Re: What small things are you going to do today to help you get debt free

    Small things I am doing to remain debt free
    1 )Check on-line banking and check outgoings for next 7 days.
    2 )Clean bathroom using value products and clean window
    3 )make chicken casserole and do jacket taties at same time, (then add a baked custard into oven for last hour, so oven is used to capacity)
    4 )Collect Dgs from school and take a home mixed drink instead of buying a bottle of juice at shop
    5 )brush laminate in living room instead of using vacuum cleaner

      Mate, just being creative here.

      Personally I'd find a credit card too small for a pooper scooper, might get messy fingers.

      But a CC might make a reasonable surf board for a frog.

              Today, I bought a chest freezer-- but this will help me save in the LONG run as I like to do batch cooking! and we geta lot of meat from the wholesaler.

                Today, I went to the pub, and had a burger, chips and salad. I also had a glass of pepsi. Then, I popped to the craft centre at Jackfield for a wee muse - didn't buy anything but did have a pot of tea and a slice of cake.

                    Yeah, I know, but my mum's 75 and it gets embarrassing being given pocket money to get to work

                    Might rob a bank soon. Won't be hard choosing one....Barclays!

                      Rather hoping my letter this morning to Westcot seeking compensation is going to be today's contributions to paying off my debts. It'd take one hell of a compensation cheque mind!

                              Easy one for me again today! I'm going to make damn sure I keep my pint of pineapple juice away from my laptop. I had to buy a new one today as the one I had (only 1 month old!) did not appreciate me giving it a drink - and a healthy one at that! Gotta laugh or I'll cry - now £400 lighter.
