Last Thread

All welcome on this thread, we're a friendly bunch who like to get bang for our buck, and manage our money as well as we can.

Pet pics very welcome too

Friend has transferred her share of our weekend away into my bank account, left my wallet in bf's car so today will definitely be a NSD

Trading Dunnes vouchers with my friend at work to push out grocery shop until next Monday evening, I don't have room for shopping now or Wednesday and I just refuse to do the grocery shop with dc in tow!

Thanks happier

Absolutely soaked walking from work to the car. Yuk.

Thanks for the new thread happier
Will catch up tomorrow

Travel today. Should be able to reclaim most expenses.

Thanks for new thread. Will try to keep up.

The hysteria of stocking up hasn't hit my local shops yet. Told shopkeeper about the empty shelves in other parts of the country she couldn't believe it!

Did spend yesterday €13.50 on big tub of ice cream & allens pine cough mixture. No one has a cough but I haven't seen it in years & it's great stuff to have in.

Had a spendy day yesterday.

£50 on boots and trainers for dc,£5 on a pe top,£11 on some organic oil and some veg.

And £15 on brekkie out with ds.

Now going to hide my purse for the next week

Found you! Thanks for new fred happier.

Ive still got a temp but think I feel marginally better, will ring the drs today for advice. Am assuming they won't want me going down there and spreading germs everywhere!

At least being ill is frugal, not spent any money since Saturday!

Morning everyone 😀
Off to Newport this morning, going to get whatever l think we will need in case of lockdown 🙄
Will be getting a few essentials like tea , dried milk got plenty of paracetamols. Will get some gloves and gel if l can for Mum . Have to say l am getting worried now. I don't know enough about Coronavirus l think l need to look into it more 🙄
Have a good day everyone will post my spends later 😀

Gws girlie

Eye is still watering. Am persevering with drops but have successfully wiped all of my eyeliner off on my “wet” eye. Look like something out of a clockwork orange. Ffs.

Waiting at tax office at present. I messed up my tax form. Ffs.

Filled out gp visit card application and submitted accompanying documentation, sent off remaining stuff solicitor needs for affidavit of means.

Received payslip so mentally budgeted for week ahead will do it in ynab on Thursday

Yesterday Axa gave me another copy of Easy Food Magazine for free

Ffs email from purchasers solicitor, ex h didn't clear out shed as he said he would and now she's hiring contractor and skip to do so and invoicing us for it, I don't blame the purchaser one tiny bit but I took 3 days off work to sort out the house and he didn't keep up his end of the bargain so he can be bloody paying for this now.

But in reality its going to come out of proceeds of house and I've zero chance of recovering this money from him

Ah ffs happier. Not what you need.

I got offered the job and verbally accepted

Definitely not and he's still in denial

Hi everyone. Can I join? I plan to spend nothing other than on essentials for a month from today. I bought lots of clothes in the hope of finding something comfortable that fits so I'm absolutely skint now. Today so far has been a no spend day and I hope to keep it that way.
I am wondering if I can justify some noise cancelling earplugs as an essential purchase though.

Hello unlikely. Did you keep the clothes? Did they meet your brief?
As for the headphone why do you need then and can you afford them?

Damnit. I will need clothes as won't be able to go to work in gym kit as much.
