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!

£3 Wilko
£7.88 Tesco - we only went in for strawberries, white vinegar and cocktail sausages Getting 40p cashback with Green Jin.

It is pouring with rain and very cold out here. I still have cold feet.

I now have a limescale free kettle and a stinky vinegar smelling kitchen

Omg Love have just done mine and my sink #mustbebored

It's snowing thickly here, settling on the un melted ice and snow from last week brrr. Dd1 is out walking in the hills with her new camera, she'll be freezing. I'm resisting the temptation to go and find her (must let go a bit and let her have some freedom!).

Screwfix was £12.98 as expected, 10 sanding belts. Asda was £69.66 ffs. I cannot be trusted. All sorts of stuff unneeded crap plus food, cat food etc. I'm going to try not to do any shopping (bar milk) next week. I will fail.

Right, going to see if the sander still works (It's been 7 years since I used it last).

About 10 mins after I last posted snow started.
Sledging this afternoon instead of the cinema #frugal

We had a bit of snow but it quickly turned into rain

I will look at that coat as I still need a footy line coat.

Love I bought descaler yesterday as my bff swears by it for toilets, think my lime is more stubborn than hers. Kettle didn't get sparkly on first go & I don't think toilet will either

Lonely you're great at diy!
I must put lats back on ds's bed it collapsed under myself ds & dd this morning when we were watching a movie on Netflix

Dds tonsils are badly swollen so have booked her in to out of hours service €60 but our own gp would be €50 & I'd be down the time at work too, plus this way she'll have medicine quicker. Last time she was sick was early 2014

Dri-pak do citric acid, you can dissolve them in water for de-scaling. For toilets you can bail the water out first then put it down.

Our waters like liquid calcium so I have to do it all the fucking time.

£2.58 top up shop. Two bottles of just milk lactofree milk using a coupon I found on mse, milks milk at the end of the day. Plus I got a 500 point coupon to use next week.
£12 fuel.

Lonely You will not fail.

Will hunt that out fluffy ya I bail out the water too

Lost track of the thread in one day ha ha!!

Although I see a vicious rumour has circulated about me enabling about Ugg boots.... I deny all knowledge They are brilliant though, I have a pair for dog walking which are trashed now but have been the best shoes

Snowing here but we went out running at 7.30am, 13 slippy miles in the bag.

NSD here.

Also a pair of the Uggs for everyday use and they still look new.

Got your flapjack in the oven lonely, it's my staple flapjack recipe now. X

haha need I love my uggs. every year i say i'm getting rid. but we all know that if i do get rid, I'll need to buy a new pair. Ugliest effing shoes around (except crocs) but so warm. and so cosy. i know they do other styles and not just the suede sheepskin ones. but those are my weakness. (that and make up and shoes and clothes).

load of washing no 4 is on. towels are in the dryer, the "normal" clothes are hanging up to dry, I've done a jumper wash and now more clothes. sigh

also had words (again) this morning with DH re MIL. he skyped her this morning and again i noted she doesn't even bother to ask about me. I asked DH whether this bothered him. he says its because i show her no respect. i have pointed out that respect works both ways...and left it at that. he seems to want to continue the conversation though. not a chance in hell.

have also bee fairly sneaky/productive in that i've emailed the bank (not mine) but the bank which holds the account for our building and have sent them a letter (original to follow in the post) asking them to remove me from the account signatory list with immediate effect. This will hopefully have the desired effect and force the association to call a meeting to approve the managers retirement and appointment of someone new. it'll leave 2 on the account (being the old manger and one of her yes men - i may have also dropped in that she holds signed blank cheques....)

our apartment is going live online today i think. yippee.

£5 in nectar points recieved from E rewards plus the £5 I got off daily mail & £2.50 voucher today makes it £12.50 this week.

I want to use them to buy paint in Argos to do the downstairs cloakroom for free.

Home. It's freezing. Going to have chicken pie, roast potatoes, veg and gravy for dinner.

Christmasseacrow are you my neighbour in Swansea? Pissed it down for two days (read last 5 months here too) NSD! £2.10 in bank til Thursday....

To all with snow, enjoy I'm SO jealous....

€60 doctor
€13 antibiotic
€9.63 medicinal icecream prescribed by gp

She's never sick though and is in great form and disappointed to be staying home from school

Fluffy you're amazing 😉 coupon queen

Hope she feels better soon Mammy...

Thanks Polly also jealous of snow but glad we don't have it too

Spends today 2 lampshades £35.. one reduced to £17 from 27 so really pleased with that .. they may go back if Dh doesn't like them though..

Also picked up some paint sample colour charts .. for our lounge.. we are probably going with grey walls .. even though I think we are a bit late to the trend!

£4, 70 on eggs , peppers and mushrooms .

You've all been busy ! I need to read back

I do love a coupon.

Have just fixed the washing machine.
DH is very annoyed
He was trying to work while swearing out what was wrong and stomped off in a huff .
I checked and removed the filter which was full of coins
He is so huffy

Sledging after all today.
Cakes made to use up lemons and eggs. Ran out of sugar and flour now so I will make SC lemon chicken for the last Lennon.

I got a veggie haggis but dh put it in the cupboard not the fridge? Do you think it will be ok? I'm inclined to think yes as it's veggie
