Had a Spendy Summer? Join the Friendly Frugaleers as we Segue Smoothly into a Sensible September

All welcome. Couldn’t see another thread!

I caved and bought the JO veg book.
Naughty me

I’m tempted by mondo....

Monzo even.

Ds starts swimming lessons again today so Dm is meeting us at the pool at 1030 so she can watch Dd while I swim with ds.

I feel like absolute death today. Took some night nurse last night as felt awful all day. But only lne tablet as I knew that taking two would make me sleep for around 14 hours (so tempting...) but by the time I took it it was almost 9pm. I woke up wide awake at 5 and have dozed since. Dh did the night shift with dd last night.

Hopefully nsd today.

Ah. I can’t have monzo. U.K. only. And jersey falls in the wierd U.K. for some things but not for others category. Banking being one of them.

I'm going to get that book Life. I was going to ask for it for xmas but I don't think I can wait that long as a vegetarian cook book obsessive!

Also tempted by Monzo. Is it an actual bank account with interest and overdrafts and so on?

Frugal fail.just buttered my toast and then realised the butter has a green fur coat

That's me to snug. Couldn't wait.

Ah rubbish wolf. A lot? I might just eat it anyway. But I pick the mould off bread and eat the rest.

You could have made a coat for a mouse out of it Life. It was grim

Relative peace so far this morning. Colouring and toast.

I would also pick mould off bread and eat remaining bread but draw the line at furry butter

Tough morning in our house, and I put the blame solely on au pairs shoulders. Dc have jersey day today, I left ds's ready to go this morning with a tshirt for under it, when I went to dress him it had disappeared and his uniform was there in its place, she denied moving it and then suggested that maybe ds had put it back in his room. I then searched wash basket twice, checked washing machine, his room twice and came back downstairs to find her putting it on him. So she knew where it was all along. I start late on Friday mornings so that I can have breakfast with dc, but she seems to be viewing it as a morning off for her

Au pairs hours have dramatically reduced since h and I separated and she has been good for helping out by putting out laundry or washing a few dishes(putting on dishwasher) as a substitute so this morning and many other Friday mornings really annoy me

Are you colouring and having toast too em

Colouring and toast sounds lovely em
wolf oh no! I blooming hate it when that happens. What did you have instead?
happier that sounds very frustrating. If she'd said oh I thought it was normal uniform and put it away no one would have had an issue surely.

£45 to dm for car park for holiday
£9 to school for panto trip
Hoping that's it today

mog I didn't like that she faced me up and said she didn't touch it when I knew she had and then blamed ds.

As you say if she had said that there would have been no issue

£45.24 Lidl, lots of ready made/easy food to try and take a bit of pressure off next week
Picked up my 15 pence train tickets for morning

Car has an engine fault. Need to ring garage. Will not be frugal

You just reminded me wolf I need to book a nct for au pairs car, hope your problem isn't big

happier yup!! Love a bit of Friday morning colouring!!!

Swimming was fun. Ddad came with us - Dm stayed at ours to look after Dd.

Guess what I just bought Life!

Maybe even that's too furry for me

Fab snuggly.

Life are you being an enabler?

Me! No. Whistles innocently......

Netflix isn't working which is very annoying as it's Friday evening and that was all I had planned!!!

Have managed a NSD I think.

Girlie if you have NowTV try Temple. It’s beilliant

We should all be eating more veggie meals to be frugal, surely? Really the book is an investment and will pay for itself in the first week !

Another NSD!
