August Frugaleers Part II

[PeoniesforMissAnnersley]

Thought I would start a new one since the old one is full!

Oh I hadn't considered name changes, hmm will see what I can think of. Aren't names linked to the same profile though. I don't understand what name changes do, having never done it

That's what I think ipsos but I'm not IT savvy at all!

I am looking forward to Japanese and Chinese food. Yum!!!!!

Well done to you and all your pupils, MissA.
I don't know if there's any need for me to name change, as I don't think I was on the list, from a quick scan.

Today's spends: £14, taking a rather ungrateful DS to see the Magna Carta, that's currently exhibiting in Durham. He'll be grateful for it one day!
£6.50 bus fare (DS paid for his own, as he went in earlier to meet his pals.)
£5.85 Krispy Kreme, on a doughnut each, coffee for me and water for DS.
£22.35 total.

Er, more like £26.35!

Oh creme where is the magna Carter castle or cathedral?

I don't think everyone needs to nc. But I did because I am a worrier

Palace Green, in between those two buildings. But only on until the 31st. You can book online tickets through ticket master, Babs.

Today I sorted through all the baby clothes from DS, two years worth of clothes that I'd not really sorted when storing.. Pleased to discover we have plenty of clothes from 0-3 up, through not much 3-6 months. Only had to get rid of a couple of things that were just too stained. I'm going to buy one pack of sleep suits and one of vests from sainsbury in up to 1 month size and I'll be done. Really pleased that I have so much I can reuse.

We had subway for lunch, I am having to be cajoled into eating, at 37 weeks pregnant I weigh less than when I conceived. £13 but was probably worth it!

Damn I am on list, this is probably why I couldnt get into any thing.. annoying especially as Ive been Laska42 onthe net for years.. suppose i had better go look at other stuff..

Hi Dubai. You've done the right thing. They took about 6 hours to respond to my request.

Ok, I'm way behind. All this password changing, logging out, lists stuff has been too much effort! Hoping it's over now. I was on the list, but haven't shared any identifying info and my password was different to anything else, so not too worried.

Payday tomorrow! Hoping we can have as good a month as we did for August. Have my budget done and it seems good, but need to start thinking about winter clothes for myself and the boys. I have 2 jumpers, but that's it. The boys aren't too bad, both just need some jumpers. Dh needs boots. I'm nervous about buying stuff, I only want to buy what's necessary and don't want to go mad budget wise like I did last year. Going to start with some charity shops on Saturday! I've never bought anything in a charity shop. Not out of snobbery or anything, just never really thought of it as an option!

Haven't read back too far, hope everyone is well!

Pink - choose your area well, definitely worth driving to the naicer areas for the charity shops.

Ok I am not changing except my MN password , although im Laska42 on lots of things theres nothing important I need to change , so here I am! Still me

so today I have Spent £49 .12 on a 'care package' of groceries, medicines and toiletries for DS (unemployed - a.k.a my own personal food bank!) ..he doesnt get this too often I should say , but hes ill right now with a tummy bug .
yesterday a bottle of wine as a friend was coming over .
I also got a £600 chq p i was owed paid in so that has eased my (rather spendy in the sales ) month.. I was 'only' £100 over so the rest has gone into savings

A big Welcome all new Frugaleers who have joined us in the last couple of days! , As I've said many times before, this is lovely , supportive corner of MN.. we all have different lifestyles/incomes/plans, but it is so friendly and accepting here..

My cat is sitting on my keyboard!!

I have changed my username (not by much though) I read the emails mn had sent me and am slightly freaked out that the hacker was able to see our passwords scary stuff.

Oh3 (oh no?) whats a Jeffry? i've seen this , was it the nastybtsdhacker?

There is a way of finding which stores sell it.

Login in to tesco, put your postcode in.

Book a cock and collect order slot at one store at a time

Search for daisy powder.

Hopefully the nearest stockist isn't 50 miles away.

Everytime I see the word Jeffrey I just sing the old Toys R Us advert to myself!

"There's millions! says Geoffrey
All under one roof.
It's called Toys "R" Us,
Toys "R" Us, Toys "R" Us"

And I know Geoffrey and Jeffrey are different but my brain doesn't care!

Ive worked it out.. Jeffrys dont know about Pombears

fluffy dont (cock and collect!) I've just snorted into my {wine]

Been MIA for a few days
Mon - £14 on ice creams/drink for DC as it was their last day of their holidays
Tues- my baby boy started school Spent about £12 in Asda
Wed - NSD
Today - £12 in pets at home budgeted for plus I had £10 birthday money so bought 2 new cushions oh and £38 on dog food (last about 5 weeks)

Pay day was Tuesday trying not to rush out and spend spend spend. £13 in bank fees for next month for OD.

First plan of action for this month is not to go over OD limit

Cock and collect is the gift that Jews on giving isn't it? Just done my sainsbury order of babygros and I've got it for cock and collect

I need to get back following this thread properly - we have pigged for the last week and keep buying choc/crisps/wine etc. It's v bad for the bank balance, not to mention the waistline! Grr.

Yes, Jeffrey is the hacker arsehole. I hope he's crawled back under his bridge now.

Sweetkitty, we got a letter saying £25 of OD fees from last month would be deducted on 1 Sep. Will do better!
