March Frugaleers continued. In which we report spends, share money saving advice, chat about pretty much everything and post pet pics.

[Cagliostro]

Welcome one and all! Newbies and lurkers always welcome 💐

Wreck that sounds fabulous.

Life Raw for the slaw (lol), but I feel like celery or apple would be strange texture-wise?

Apple works really well in a slaw I think.

Now I’m hungry!

We popped into Bella in the morning to check about the vouchers and they said it was fine just to give the code without printing. After the film somebody else said there was no room, but the original person recognised us and seated us. :)

Also bought my friend a birthday present, and a couple of snacks to take to chessington tomorrow. Excited, but absolutely shattered. Luckily a friend is driving a minibus for us all ❤️ I definitely wouldn’t manage a train journey ATM.

Ah I like chessington! Glad you enjoyed your day cag maybe try and get an early night?!

Thanks mammy it was!

Snow is heavy again here so annoying.

Meadow how about celeriac? you need to squeeze lemon juice on to stop it discolouring also could add a can of water chestnuts sliced or yes, crisp green apple (also with LJ squeezed over) or celery even..

DH will hopefully be home soon, really glad this weekend is nearly over TBH he’s not got a day off until Wednesday. As soon as he gets in I’m throwing the baby at him and jumping into a hot bath 😂

Snowing again there is it Wreck? Is it an easterly so coming our way ? We've had quite a lot of melt but its still lying on ground

Caglets are SO excited, DD has only been once for a friend’s birthday, and DS has never been at all, and they’ve never been to any other theme park either. Got a great home ed trip rate, less than £30 for the three of us.

I’m looking forward to going on the vampire 🧛‍♀️ for the first time in about fifteen years 😂🦇 I’m not expecting to go on much though, depends on baby obviously but if she’s asleep in the buggy my non-rollercoaster-liking friend has agreed to sit with her. Hopefully there shouldn’t be big queues.

It's coming for you laska... I give it half an hour

meadow Thomasina Miers has a Mexican coleslaw recipe , much easierto get the ingredients !

Cag I would be surprised if there are any queues at all. It's not meant to get above freezing until 11 and it's term time. You'll have a great time!

OK thanks Wreck, DH didn't go back to Watford today , we are nicely hunkered down.. although the cat has gone out..

Cold time though 😱😂

.that where he works all week.. btw

Really surprised to see snow on the Isle of Wight!
Still only a light dusting up here, but it hasn't been above zero all weekend and it looks cold all week too. Brrr! Where are you, Spring?

NSD. We had a (veggie) roast dinner and we'll have the same again tomorrow. I've got into the habit of making enough for Monday too recently. So nice to come home to, after Pilates.

Best of luck for your interview, Wolf.

Congratulations on getting the Wimbledon tickets, Bacon. You'll have a fab time.

Have fun tomorrow, Cag .

Hello all, I'd love to join this thread. Have been reading for a while and now finally managed to post myself. Nursery fees are currently quite crippling and London rents are also no fun...

WelcomeLou
Jump straight in -lots of advice here and we are a very chatty lot

cag have a great time tomorrow! Hands in the air on the coasters!!! Love a roller coaster I do! Personal fave is Rita queen of speed. Insane ride!

lonely enjoy Wimbledon. I’ve been once with a client. Men’s quarter finals a couple of years ago. The match ran on and I missed my flight home so had to pay for a hotel and the red eye back the next morning for work. Worth it though!

Welcome lou were a friendly bunch here. All frugalling for different reasons. I’m sure you’ll be happy here 😀

Dm bought ds a book. He tried to eat it. 😂

He also did his flipping over trick for my sister which was nice. She played with him for ages. He loves his auntie.

I hope he learns to flip back soon. He goes from back to front but can’t go front to back so is happy on his tummy for a while before he squarks to be rescued!

Tomorrow starts another week of (hopefully not but probably will be) limbo. Sigh.

Ds used the new car seat today. It is amazing. So easy. Although it is rattling in the car so I’m not sure dh secures it properly - must check tomorrow as a priority. The only issues I’m going to have (but will get used to) are carrying ds plus all his stuff down the stairs not in car seat. It’ll be less of a weight as I’m not also carrying the car seat but more wiggly iyswim.

Have a great time tomorrow Cag.

Welcome Lou. NSD somehow!

It's been three days since I spent any money

Em is it rear facing or are your car seat laws different to ours?

Our roads outside looks like an ice rink. I'm dreading trying to get to the main road, that's if the school bus turns up.

Sat on the train ready for my two days work in London. The streets at home were just sheet ice, awful but at least there’s been no more snow overnight. Car seat sounds great Em, fingers crossed this is the week the limbo ends.
Cag have a fantastic time, do lots of screaming on the roller coasters, very therapeutic

Have done my grocery shopping online in order to get a costing on it, and going to go in store today to purchase as we're low on so much stuff. Hoping this will keep it on track.

Welcome lou

Cag have a fantastic day

Everyone with snow and ice stay safe

Still snow here but not too much we got some more last night thoughwreck just as you said. Road icy but not going un until later as need to get DH to ferry.
Hats on rollercoasters cag but then they will fly off anyway i suppose. !!
I havent spent anything overr weekend either .
Hope it goes well wolf
And welcome Lou lots of good support here (and we do love to chat!)
