Welcome Winch. www.mumsnet.com/Talk/credit_crunch/a2270347-Frugal-January-everyone-welcome?msgid=51923238#51923238 Read the op I did in this thread, it's got all the links to useful threads apart from the ones in chat. Excellent threads for when your just starting out.
Banana Excellent progress there 
Waitress I'd have done the same.
Need yes I've seen some nice stuff in there too.
Batch cooking thread.
I've had an email convo with the makers of chop cloc, I can't find a sparky to fit it so the chap who makes them has offered to talk us through it so Dh can do it. Now I've found where all my heating cables route to it should be easier. Dh will be delighted when I tell him. Utterly delighted.
£7 homebargains, rechargeable batteries, citric acid to descale the wm (grim, the water went brown), microwave butterkist & hand gel.
Em My Dh leaves work stuff in the dressing room. I usually find it after the dark wash has gone on.
Dh wants to move our bedroom into the second bedroom and turn the master bedroom into his music room. He's wanted to do this for the last 4 years. I've said yes & he's backtracking now because the sofa in that rooms massive. It would get the guitar, an amplifier & the pedal board out of the living room though.
