Hello! I hope nobody minds me starting the new thread :o

Did I, ipsos? I remember telling you a bit about pacing and CFS. I could probably do with taking my own advice though. I cleaned all the floors in the house, cleaned the bathroom, walked 2 miles and my Pilates class yesterday and am going for a day out in the city today. I'll have to take it easy tomorrow, as I 'm working Thursday and Friday. Hope your DS feels better soon.

Glad to hear husband is home east!

Ipsos hope DS feels better after a duvet day.

So, I've added up all the bills that will be going out of our account including my savings transfers and we should have £900 for food / fuel / travel and other expenses. I am going to keep a running total so I can see our true financial position.

Glad DH is home east take it easy :)

Oops just realised I left a spend out of Thursday - £3.50 for DD's trampolining badge. Pleased she's doing so well (she's only had 10 lessons ever, and has just done badge 5 :o) but also pleased that apparently after badge 7 it becomes much harder so she's not likely to be getting so many badges. Got the new block to pay for as well, £100 for the block for the two of them, it's only fortnightly thankfully so only two blocks a year.

ThanksCreme. That advice was great.

Here's the new thread:

Chi everyone. Yesterday £2.50 bought pack of chocolate muffins (for DC as a treat, girls are on each last night, DS suggested he didn't eat his do he and DD1 could both have one in their packed tea for tonight's rehearsal ) plus 2 packs of bread rolls as DS and I had homemade burgers last night.

Today, NSD so far, but about to go and collect kids from Vauxhall. If they are starving I may get them a happy meal each.

Fuzz if your DH works or such a major retailer they will Have specific HR procedures in place. Get your DH to request copies of the disciplinary processes. He could also request an interview with HR to discuss the specific issues in his store (poor tech etc.)

Thanks everyone :)

Work today was bit of a rest really after the weekends event

Thank you for all the great ideas and support here. I am a big time lurker but hope to join in a bit this year. Thank you to the person who posted the Abel and coke deal via living social...I ordered today and it's really good value at £8 per week for February :)

X was about to post NSD, then remembered DD1 asked for a pack of M&Ms after rehearsal 58p

You're welcome gogogobo I don't live in the UK but it looked really good.

We've moved!

DH ordered a tumble dryer today, I asked about spin dyers and the bloke told me my 1400rpm washing machine "is very good" like he was talking to a little woman The silly boy, I won't be ordering one from them.

It'll be next week before I can catch up. Hope all Frugsleers are well, good weekend all.

We have a new thread adora

Well done Adora.
