No-Spend November - sign up for a frugal month ahead!

[PeoniesforMissAnnersley]

Everyone welcome, if you've been lurking then de-lurk and come and join in!

NSD - No spend day
LSD - low spend day

We are a friendly and supportive bunch, recording our spends, frugal wins and frugal fails daily/when we can. Lots of good tips on discount vouchers, household cleaning and maintenance, cheap meals and more!

North, you might need new transformers if they're really old but for the main part they are retro fit. Eg designed to work straightaway.

It's the 12v step down that fecks everything up.

I love my spin dryer.

Just went to take a bite of my toast to discover it was mouldy

NSD - hurrah. Hoping for another tomorrow. MissA, fingers crossed all goes well for you.

Spotty, I hate small disappointments like that! They put me in a disproportionately bad mood.

£2 for dd for CIN (dress up and buy cake, was also meant to send a tray bake in but she's only four and gets a bus so she's not taking one).

I'm going to steal some food from my parents before work

NSD Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Spent £10 on Gromit soft toy for DS yesterday and £10 on yet another pair of jeans for him (he wears out knees like it's gong out of fashion).

Sorry to post and run.

My goodness miss a, at last some potential answers
50 on weekly delivery coming tonight.
Have a good weekend everyone

Oh Missa....you poor love.
I was just coming on to moan a it's being up all night with sick ds2 and Dh away but I shall shut up now :)
Oddly, even though I have been awake all night tending to a sick child, and haven't left the house, I still managed to spend £80 on the next website at 4am this morning!
:(
Oh dear.

still NSD! nothing since wednesday last week :)

Wow drew not even food or milk?

9 out of the ten bravissimo bras went back, will order more of the "keeper" when I find a figleaves offer. So £25

Hairdresser round soon, £60 I think, but would cost £140 in an hairdressers...

Wow drew not even food or milk?
this week wasn't my turn to do groceries so in effect I haven't bought anything since last time I was in Tesco.

In my room in hospital waiting to be told when my central line will be fitted. Have been fasted since last night so feeling rather hungry and thirsty...apparently once the liquid food starts working you don't feel hungry, I hope that's true otherwise it will be long week!
Still feeling quite at the sudden seriousness of everything, and hoping that it might not take the full 7 days for me to be fit for surgery. I'd feel so much better if the consultant even came to tell me exactly what surgery I'd be having and when, what recovery time would be like, whether I'll be totally normal afterwards and able to eat what I like again etc.

I've been dreaming about food, I have such a long list of things I want to eat when I am well again, not very frugal!

Sent dd into school with £1 for CIN go to school in pj day and they are doing a cake sale later, my mum bought the cakes as I have been ill! Although did point out it would have made more sense to give the £2.89 she spent on cakes straight to CIN as unlikely to make it back in the sale!

Poor you MissA I can remember being like that when I had gallstones, the first bag of crisps I had post op was bliss!! Do they want your gut completely empty is that why you are NBM? Is the pain better controlled now?

LSD - I am quite happy to be honest
food shop £40. 35
Petrol £10.00
Art stuff for School Project [wilkisnson] £9.00
1x Christmas present for myself £1 shop

£70.00 all in, NSD tom, Sun, Mon,Tue: Hopefully :)

Miss A - always mean to say hope your okay and never get chance because I am always on a flyer, so heres a big hug to you, sorry to keep reading about your suffering, I do hope they build you up, operate and set you free to get back to eating / your lifein general, Good Luck hun ...:)

* after a successful operation - sorry, its been a very long working week....

£63 tesco delivery

£42 food shop. Dh should have paid but he gave me the cash & it all got amalgamated with mine so I lost track. It includes the tesco finest meal deal, the coupons not valid with that offer but they over rode the till so I got the discount anyway.

After a few days on the feed you'll feel a lot better MissA, you're a young previously healthy woman so perhaps he's looking at 7 days as the maximum length of time it will take.

You will feel much better once you have the tube in. Though it is disconcerting not eating but not feeling hungry I remember. When I was on one for a few days a lovely nurse used to bring me orange flavored ice cubes to suck on :)

Today I have spent:
£1.99 on a new bulb for dd's bedside light
£4.99 on an Argos value iron (everyone in my new team is very smart and I am very crumpled!)
£3.98 on 4 over the radiator clothes airers so we can cut down on the tumble dryer use this winter

Another NSD here. Absolutely knackered and was supposed to be going to London this weekend, but can't face it. Need to recharge my batteries.

Do you like your new job?.

Dd's a star in her nativity.

She needs yellow or gold tights and t-shirt. Any ideas? Google is no help
