The Friendly Frugaleers- Autumn is on its way !

[QuiteCleanBanditlovesdresses]

Hi Frugaleers
Sorry lame thread title

Sorry for all the husbands being dicks. It seems to be a bit of a day for it. Lonely and Wreck you both need a nice gin or glass of wine and perhaps go and do something nice like a bath or a potter round the garden that’s just for you x

lonely and wreck for you.

lonely rant away. I’ve ranted about dh here previously so no judgement.

Home Now. Ds is ridiculously tired. He was asleep before I zipped his bag up.

Mammy he did after I put it on his side of the bed he's generally great to be fair just has periods of being a selfish twit. Usually when he's stressed at work or getting no sleep because of his bad back.

I always enjoy a heron too Take, they look so prehistoric.

Hope your evenings improve Wreck and Lonely.

£10 window cleaner.

GCSE results tomorrow! I always find it more nerve-wracking as a teacher than when I got my own!

They are making my favourite Indian sweets on bbc 2 mmmmmm yumm

Jam, thanks for the ocado tip, I've only just started to use them, so only one order so far.
They didn't deliver any of the frozen goods but a call to them and refunded straight away and a £5 voucher off next order, so good customer service, hopefully the next delivery will be all there.

for lonely and wreck

I suppose we never praise them when they're good just moan when they're not
How's the budget meals coming on?

Got gifted tomatoes from an old colleagues greenhouse today

I'm returning €50 duvet & getting a one with brilliant reviews from Argos for €35, maybe Friday.

I’m “not allowed” to watch tv. I came upstairs to see if I could get Netflix working on the tv in our room. I’m plugging amazon fire stick in and dh takes over because I obviously don’t know what I’m doing. His words.

He gets it working. Hooks it up to WiFi. Chooses something to watch. Gets annoyed at me because I’m on my phone “I thought we were going to watch something?” Er. No. I came up to watch some trash tv. Not some shit movie about American civil war. Ggggrrrrr
But I’m not allowed to watch “brain rot”. If I want to rot my brain I will. I just wanted to watch preppers

Can you download watch something on fire on your tablet Em?

Sorry dh are being Dick's. Mine was earlier but has redeemed himself.

Run out of cash so will go to the cash point tomorrow. Hopefully have done all of the big spending more and it will just be lunch and ice creams.

Two flaws with that wolf no tablet (but have laptop so that would probably work) and I now can’t be arsed.

I’m off work now until Tuesday. Alarms are off. Dh can go jump if he thinks I’m waking him up tomorrow.

He’s taking ds in. So no doubt they’ll be late.

Isn't this good for a freebie?

A lovely souvenir of your trip Mammy. Even if H was there too

Good luck tomorrow Northender, I bet you are not asleep tonight! Hope DS gets what he needs. Anyone else waiting for gcse results?

Sorry about the annoying Hs. My DH is sometimes a bit of a dick but thankfully not often. He’s earned his stripes tonight though. He usually baths dd while I prep our dinner and then I do stories. Last night she wee’d on him on the way to the bath, and tonight she did a massive (loose) poo while in the bath and he had to clean it up. I did offer to help but he just got on with it. Poor chap. I fixed him a stiff gin after that.

Herons are cool. I saw a nuthatch on Sunday, they make me smile.

Nuthatches are my favourite garden bird Sea.

We are having a bad night. I've got one settled. Just waiting for DH to get the other one back to sleep. I think he is teething. It could be a long night.

Good look to all the dcs getting results today

Hope you managed to get some sleep snuggly

Mammy the meals were fine but dh has been paid now so we're ok

We're going to London today to see Aladdin. Me, the dc and mil. Should be good.

Good luck to results kids today. I’m sure they’ll smash it xx

Let’s all have more positive days. #positivevibesonly #positivity

I’ve been awake since 545. Ds asleep. Dh asleep Dm asleep. Catface asleep. Ddad gone for a walk. I hooked dparents tv up to YouTube and have done some yoga. Am now having a cup of tea.

Today I am going to pick blackberries. Also going to collect my boots order, wrap dh’s presents, and sort out our clothes. They’ve been put away neatly in the wardrobe here but not ordered. So I can’t find anything.

Also em sometimes you just need to watch trash I love queer eye

Thanks Wreck. I think I managed about 4 hours in the end. DH a bit less. When ds woke up at 5.45 (reasonable) I thought it was 4.45 and was trying to get him back to sleep whilst wondering what the funny noise was that I could hear. It was the alarm clock!
Enjoy Aladdin. I bet that'll be brilliant.

I need to be more positive Em. I think yoga might do me some good. Can you recommend a particular person on YouTube?

Plan for today is to go to work for exam results and stay until lunch time to do some work for next term. Then call at shops for a few things we need like Calpol and perhaps a child-free coffee.
What will actually happen is that I will go to work and talk to all my colleagues first 2 hours and someone will suggest going into town for lunch so I will not get any work done at all and spend the whole of next week panicking. Happens every year...

Love the positive vibes em

Enjoy the child free few hours snuggly.

Good luck to all the GCSE DC today. It feels like a breeze now compared to A Levels but I remember not feeling like that at the time. At all. Seriously at all. Good luck northender to your DS. Thinking of you today.

Sorry for all the crappy DH's.

Socks sent yesterday mammy, via TNT.

Should be a LSD. Might get DS to do a bit of Uni shopping this afternoon.

Ah thank you all for your good wishes. Actually I feel very calm this morning. I think I did my worrying from December to June & there's nothing I can do now. He is clearly worried so it's just a case of supporting him and hoping for his sake that he has exceeded his expectations. Also I have felt the need for a 2 fingered symbol on Facebook for the mum of one of his friends who has been stressing on there all week. Her son is very likely to come out with top grades. In the absence of the 2 fingers, I've just ignored her .
Whatever his results I want to say a huge thank you to you for supporting me over the last few months. It really has helped. I love these threads to you all.

I haven't seen unescorted for a while. She definitely has a ds or DD getting results today.

Good luck north DS and any other DCs getting results today

Enjoy some child free time snuggly even if it does involve going to work to get it

Yesterday spends
£10 welly Boots
£5.50 home bargains
£3.50 Tesco

Ocado coming later. Taking DDs for haircuts. Will also have to go to a supermarket for eggs as I forgot them on my order.

Love I might just hide in my classroom and have a snooze!

Good luck today North and anyone else with dcs collecting results.
