Heres a new thread for the April Frugaleers!

Spring has arrived and summer is a-coming..

Good luck everyone trying to save money, There's lots of good support here..

Hope you have a nice pub lunch Sporting call that your anniversary "dinner" and diary next year's.

Hope DH's surgery went well Audit

Today and yesterday I spent about £23 but forgot to buy kitchen towel.

Yeah Nsd yesterday.

Pointless could you stay full time until you go on maternity leave? Assuming it doesn't take long to have number 2. Get ft maternity then decide about pt while you are off.

Should be nsd here. I've just found ds wiping dh's hair wax all over my fabric sofa

oh dear, that's not a good start is it?.

How is your Dh Audit?.

Free Malibu ready mixed off checkout smart and click snap. Only from asda though, so 4 free if you put it through seperately 4 times.

Shopitize has some offers on wine too, I buy them and keep them for when I need a drink.

www.topcashback.co.uk/SnapAndSave/Offers, these offers are good because you can take them as clubcard points then use boost to pay for treats/Xmas presents. Eg the butter costs 85p but is worth £2 in boosted clubcard points.

Does anyone know about epay?

I'm late with my CC and they've sent an email with this as an option to make a payment. I'm thinking I can either make an international phone call on my mobile (eyes water at potential cost) or try this new fangled thing. House phone doesn't allow int. calls and Skype has no credit because it's on the CC.

Hair wax on the sofa? Erm, er,hmm, is DS cute? I'm sure he is, just focus on that.

No, but if the cc company have offered it it must be safe.

Thanks Fluffy , can't get it work anyway because I don't have postcode. I'll see if DH has enough credit on his Skype.

Oh ffs, they don't make it easy do they?.

No. They do not. They say it's easy, until you try to do it. I can't remember the password for DH's Skype ATM and he's in meetings all afternoon so I'll have to deal with it this evening.

Hello all, just realised its been a NSD

Am so tired but not back in work will next Wednesday now so that's good,tomorrow will be spendy as hair cut in the morning (my hair is actually out of control and needs some serious attention ) and Morrisons is on the agenda. Have about £8 worth of vouchers for Morrisons tho, reckon on spending £40 ish. Some friends that I don't see very often are popping in on Friday so will get some nice food in for them and need to do some serious cleaning before then as well!!

£11.99 (on card) for a cheap tv bench from Argos. I am going to move DS'S telly and PS3 down to the dining room, as he spends all his time in his bedroom now, including all day occasionally during holidays and at weekends. Don't get me wrong, I know all teenagers need to spend time alone in their rooms, but at 12, I do want to see a bit more of him!

Also £3.60 bus fare and 60p on a padded envelope for an eBay item.

Oh, I made my first green smoothie today and I loved it! I had it at 12.15 with 1 wholemeal pitta, about a quarter of a pot of houmous and 6 olives, and it's kept me full all afternoon. 1 banana, a good handful of kale and some almond milk are my ingredients. Yum!

NSD.

I has a NSD and t yesterday, im about £80 over budget , but payday tomorrow!..

Nsd.

Yes luckily Ds is pretty cute

FFS!! I write half a post and it seizes up... MN is really still playing up for me...(though not other sites) I think its all the 'extra' bits they have added.. think im going to have to change browser or something, I usually use Firefox...

I use chrome on my laptop laska

Get in 2nd Nsd. Payday tomorrow

I'm using firefox and it seems to be running ok tonight.

Weekly online shop came to €100, but there were a few bits and pieces missing, so that will probably another €20 top up tomorrow.
Filled both cars up, €90.

CremeEgg my DS is also 12, he's not allowed a TV in his room, but he does have a laptop, I think he'd spend 99% of his time holed up in there if we'd let him! Having said that he's in the sitting room atm while DH and I are sitting upstairs on our PCs!

Yes I'm thinking I might do that babs. The only concern is that if baby #2 never happens for us I will still have missed out on precious time with my lovely DD.
Spent £2.99 on bananas and pizza after a meal plan fail. I was going to make a lasagne with Bolognese from the freezer but realised last night we've eaten it all! Just pleased I realised last night and not when I started marking tea tonight. The pizza is a posh one too, reduced as it's use by is today.

£1.90 ish on a coffee messed up timing as a I miss read the clock and dashed out.

£12 shopping including tea bags. Still need to buy Veg and decide what To do at the weekend. Friday is a holiday here, we have loads To sort at home and DDs want To spend every spare minute with friends, understsndably. Not sure I can face a sleepover so I'm thinking invite then over, feed them the cheap junk they want and wave them goodbye.

I can understand that pointless. Maybe set a time limit and review then if 2 hasn't begun to appear review then.?

Need to get off my ass and meal and budget plan but cba. Just realised I forgot to renew my driving licence. Will get the form tomorrow

£5 on flowers for a friend and £20ish on a pub lunch (dp paid )

My first day at work tomorrow for 4 months! Really looking forward to starting, being a sahm isn't for me, too isolating as I don't have any non-working friends to pass the time with (sob sob). Will probably take snacks but buy a sarnie, I'm sure there's a fridge but I just want to feel comfortable before I get out my leftovers!

Good luck pass!
