Keeping our Fru Year Resolutions! Frugal January thread two (already) - all welcome!

[Cagliostro]

Eeek so the other thread filled up fast. January 10th must be some kind of record!

Lsd yesterday £4.95 slimming world and £3 in co op on new potatoes, bread blueberries and a much needed doughnut 😂

Should be a nsd today off to work in a bit then to library after school.

cag i havent seen that one is it a child friendly one? I got 'your name' for christmas and it was very good.

DD1 is super hormonal at the moment shes 9 and goes from happy to shouty to crying all in about 10 mins. Everything i ask her to do is an arguement at the moment. What do u all mean by breast buds? Dds shape is changing becoming a bit less childlike but doesnt need a bra at the moment. We will struggle when she does need one, buying regular clothes is a nightmare.

Im debating reusable sanitary products after numerous allergic reactions to disposables. But i cant stand the feel of certain material so unsure about buying online.

Today’s wanted down under

Family dream of moving to nz. Never been there before. Didn’t like the flight. Can’t imagine leaving their families. Etc.

Am watching too em these two have no idea! Plus they only have 18 months before upper age limit hits. If you're going to do it you have to do it when your kids are sub 10 I think. Love this programme, good thread on telly addicts usually!

£21.23 posting 9 parcels. All paid for by buyers, I didn't mske a mistake! For once.

I’m just watching wanted down under: joys of having days off during the week😀
I am tempted to buy HFW book now, it may help me with my veggie dish meal planning, that soup is definitely going on this weeks meal plan, thank you for posting it need.

I was on verge of buying mooncup while pregnant with ds, luckily I didn't as I've no need for one - if my periods ever come back I will switch. CSP makes me think I would be wearing a small nappy

Nocuts painful small lumps behind the nipple.

Need yes I'm trying to be calm! Also giving lots of cuddles and reassurance but still pulling up on rudeness.

Duchess I did the same with a travelodge. I always pay when there but it saved so much it was silly not to. Can always get in travel insurance for £1.50 or something.

NSD so far, but DH paid for bus (am printing forms at the library tomorrow! Yes my procrastination also extends to not sorting out my own printer 😳😂) and lunch (as planned, we went with a friend). Lovely to be back at trampolining. Just chilling at home but dashing out to Badgers shortly, I will sit in the pub as usual but will attempt some admin at the same time if baby sleeps. Busy times and next week is filling up fast too.

I am most confused as the period I ranted about yesterday seems to have vanished. I have literally never had spotting in my entire 19 years of periods, so that’s a bit weird, but hormones are different I suppose.

Nocuts I think it’s a 12, my two would be fine with most of it but would be scared at the end. I saw Your Name at the cinema (very rare for anime to be screened here), so lovely!

Must get ready to go, will catch up later

Estate agent done. Phew.

And I’ve spoken to lawyer. Have had more annoyances today so have had to deal with that.

Ds has been incredibly difficult today. Crying a lot. Poor baby teething must hurt but not much I can do. He’s throwing away toys to chew on in favour of his hands (which are going minging...) must get some teething toys when I’m in town tomorrow.

Cag I can print it if it saves you a journey. I've got free stamps off Royal Mail from a survey I did for them.

Duchess That's precisely what it is. Thinking saves money. I still fuck things up every so often.

There's free eggs on checkoutsmart, it's account specific but neither of mine have it. Friday's the best day for checkoutsmart.

NSD.

Aw fluffy :o it’s cool thanks as I’m tying it in with baby rhyme time/seeing old colleagues

Just catching up now (I did do my diary filling first though! Trying to be more organised...) and noticed unescorted made a keynote speech?! How awesome! That’s such an achievement, well done ⭐️

Spends
£7.45 dinner (cagletini still asleep - so nice being able to eat hands free although it looks like I’ll be getting my boobs out on the bus home 😳😂 grateful for my lovely modest nursing tops at times like this)
60p tuck
35p ibuprofen

I might complete sign up for a maths programme (another one where a load of home edders get a “school” discount) but I have some PayPal money from a refund which should cover most of it. Bargain.

Nsd 😇

Dd just found one of the 50p in her collection on eBay going for £1000!!! That seems way too good to be true 😒 will try and post a link later to see what you lot think! !

Hi all and thanks for the messages of support regarding work! I'm getting my ducks in a row and this thread really helps the hoik up of the big girl pants...MIL is awaiting test results so hopefully they will come back okay....NSD here, i cant remember who said they didn't have any money until payday on the 26th, but its 25th and ditto here!

And...premenstrual, menstrual or perimenopausal has all done weird things to me, I just try really hard to be occupied, distracted and not shout no matter how much i boil like the kettle on the inside ..😃

Cag Do you know which is the good one of the online maths games website? I'm wondering if that would be good fun for ds.

DO NOT go into the co-op when you're feeling a bit poorly, hungry, and all the bakery has been reduced! £24 later... lots of useful meal deal frozen stuff for a quick tea another day, loads of reduced stuff and lots of sausages. In reality I should have spent about £8.

My mum text me to tell me that my dad’s lump is cancer. It hasn’t spread but is operable, although they haven’t decided whether to operate due to his age (85). I’ll take him to his appointment the week after next so will hopefully be able to hear first hand the doctor’s plan (dad is very deaf and my mum struggles to always ‘get’ things nowadays)

Fortunately I was home with my lurgy so just had a quiet afternoon processing things

I got some weird sized items on my Ocado shop earlier. Tiny bag of potatoes, not quite what I was expecting

Argh just spent bloody ages doing a Waitrose online shop and now I can't find a working code 😭😭😭

Oh no love so sorry to see that fucking cancer

love so sorry ..

I'm so sorry Love, it's a huge thing to take in

Wreck Cashback sites?

Sorry to hear that love x

Fluffy only £8 so might be cheaper to do Tesco

love so sorry.

cag I’ve got my boobs out on the bus home before....I was 19 at uni not breastfeeding and super fabulous

Spendy day tomorrow - £250 on Dentist. Eeep. Next Invisalign appointment. They’re taking mounds of my teeth and measurements apparently.

Oh love what horrible news I’m so sorry xx

Em :o what did the bus driver say 😂😂
