Lockdown (almost) over and frugalling continues!

[ememem84]

New thread. All welcome

Bench looks good!

I made Lonely flapjacks this morning and for the first time in ages she’ll know about it ! We really love that recipe in the Seacow house....

Em I made your PBJ muffins the other day but Ds wasn’t keen - I think because I used crunchy pb and he didn’t like the bits (he obviously doesn’t notice them in a crunchy flapjack). DH didn’t love the texture either - I liked them but am not meant to be eating cakes etc! I’ll probably make them again with smooth pb next time. I like how there’s not much sugar, and it gets some oats into the Dc.

I love cinnamon buns, I literally can’t trust myself to make them 😋

Ahh thank you Sea they all liked it so it was a success thankfully
Have just downloaded an Ebook, The Perfect Dress from my library BorrowBook app , got a pork casserole in the slow cooker for tea and just phoned Mum and Bob am now off for a read

mrs the bench is luvly might have 2 get sumthing similar 4 my garden.

DS1 has been stropping all day and my head is killing so sorry for the lack of personals.

£15 Facebook marketplace bundles for boys clothes. Got 2 black bags 4 tenner of 2-3 years clothes so am chuffed.

£4 spent on a Xmas present found a deal on the bargain thread. Might end up spending a lot

Unescorted fingers crossed for the cv application thingy we're doing pretty well as a group lately so your turn for some of our collective mojo

Mrs bench looks fabulous, I'm quite tempted

Sea I love rice pudding, and bread and butter pudding, and posset, and key lime pie.

It's been an absolute shitter of a week. Family stuff. Work hard been a living breathing nightmare and ds has been vile and aggro every day. I am exhausted

Frugal win picked up some free bulbs ion a very wet walk as I needed to get out of the house. I'm now in my pjs because I was soaked to the skin from top to bottom. The ocado man is going to get an eyeful

I need to pick up a prescription tomorrow, plant the bulbs before they rot, complete stupid govt form for family member (55 sections), try to get ds to be human, clean house do lots of washing and pack more of exes shit. It'd be easier to stay in bed and cry but that's not going to help anyone

I have whisky

Bonkers. I've got this open on the webpage and it just totally crashed!

I think I just fed some of us dodgy sausages. I just grabbed 2 identical packs from the fridge and then looked and smelled fine. On eating I had 3 "fruity" ones and one normal one. It's very feasible that in my chaotic car crash fridge I located a very old pack of sausages - I buy the same ones every week. I daren't go and look at the packets (in the outside bin)! Time will tell. I hope I haven't made us sick.

Went to Lidl today about £25 and £6 in Dunelm on a bias tape folder thing I've been looking for for ages.

Annoyingly I have to go back there tomorrow as Dad's list is mostly Lidl stuff. I knew I should have grabbed all the usual suspects in there today but didn't.

They were really good! That's a mutant cucumber from the greenhouse in front.

They luk great lonely

£9.95 on an Xmas planner

Oh I love a cinnamon bun.

Gym this evening. It was wierd.

Dh made a chicken curry for dinner. Yummmm.

Cleaners been. £45. Yay. House is so mean.

I need to make the tangzhong cinnamon buns again

Ocado driver was the most unhelpful ever. I hope they send a survey. Plus it appears I accidentally clicked some things twice so I have doubles of lots of perishable things.

All of your baking and pudding talk is making me very hungry, I’d love some easy flapjack and muffin recipes if you have them?
I worked from home today, very productive and spent nothing.

They look lovely. I've never tried cinnamon roll.
Mary Berry 4 ingredients flap jack or lonely if she will paste the recipe again. What flavor muffin?

£92 Aldi but some stash stuff.
Sorry things are bad wolf. We are here on mn and off x

Can you freeze them wolf?

I've rammed as much as possible in the freezer Life and we will be having salad with everything, including breakfast

@Wolf the bench is excellent. The only thing was the paint finish wasn't up to scratch but with 20 quid off and next day delivery we are extremely happy with it. Easy to put a lick of paint on and you can pick your own colour then too but it will do for now 😁

I posted before l finished 🙄
Just wanted to say you come and vent all you like here @Wolfcub your Ds 💐

My app is just rubbish 🙄
That last post should have read we all think you are wonderful the way you are looking after your Ds 💐

Watching Hamilton on Disney plus. Wow. Just wow. I’ve wanted to see this for so long.

Morning all! Off to work ina but then supermarket. I must have slept awkwardly,my neck is really sore.

Morning everyone 😀
Day off today 😀
Going to Cardiff Bay , we haven't been for ages 😀
Looking forward to it too, will pop into Costco as well 😃
Have a great day everyone

Have a lovely day Mrs you deserve it
Wolf sorry you're having a rough time, take care

Thank you North on our way now 😀

wolf I had forgotten about them. I may have to make some too.
Sorry to hear work has been shit on top of everything else for you.

Mrs enjoy your day out.

I am so tired today - I turned my alarm off this morning and dropped off back to sleep. I may have slept for another 2 hours.

Unescorted Thank you we had a lovely day, didn't get a lot but enjoyed ourselves just the two of us , weather was dry and sunny on times.
Hope you feel more energised now, l am dropping off here now
Spends were Costco 14 pounds , Dh was very taken with the 85 inch telly Not on my Nellie !
Then 25 in Lidl, needed olive oil, soy sauce, choc bisks like Riband but half the price for Dh , smoky bacon crisps and Gammon steaks among other things
Mum rang this morning wanting me to get her some foam for us to make a cushion for said 'pretty white bench'. I am not going to do anything of the sort, she is taking the Micky big time l do too much as it is . Does anyone know where can get a 150 cm length seat pad for a garden bench please? l have been looking all over the net and found nowt!
Hope everyone has had a lovely day

Mrs have you tried Etsy? Someone might make them to order.

My mum does similar - buys a dress or pair of jeans and then expects me to alter them for her. If I wasn't short of time enough with her spending 45 minutes on the phone to me every sodding single day. If she comes to my house she gets sniffy because the washing isn't sorted or there is a tea cup on the side. And breathe...

You could try a local sewing shop.
