Frugal Friends Forging Forward Toward February and Further Financial Freedom

[Wolfcub]

New fred

So you bloody should unescorted

have moved to the couch. cat face is sitting behind me. snuggled against my hot water bottle. i have a blanket now.

i must get a new dressing gown. mine is nice - from white co -white waffle fabric but its short. and i want a fluffy one. must sort this out.

I usually do the microwave and skewering of jacket spuds to be honest but I was working and on autopilot and just shoved them in the over without thinking. I often cook them when there is something else in the oven like a casserole or fruit cake that takes ages to cook to get my money's worth out of the oven being on!

Nsd. Been for a very cold walk!

Blooming stables is costing me a fortune in taxi as dh on a course this week so not back in rime

almost posted i had an nsd too. but then remembered car seat.

so nsd on non essentials....

Finished for the day - because of all the stress I hadn't been sleeping. Now that has gone I am sooooooo tired.

In frugal news DH has been asked to be a brand ambassador for a brewery. We get free beer.... he has been sent to the shops to get matching pizza for a lazy lie on the sofa night.

Adora I missed you breaking a leg. Hope it mends quickly and straight.

Not the leg unescorted, just the little toe. So it feels a tad pathetic to be unable to put weight on it 🤦‍♀️

Yay at free beer 👍

em nice robes are all well and good but you definitely need a long fluffy one when it’s 🥶

Wolf thanks for the heads up on the marmite buns.

Unescorted so pleased you got an apology and congratulations on the free beer.

Happier sounds scary and painful, I hope your injuries heal soon.

Mrsmad I went to Cardiff once, never again. Worried I'd disappear forever 😂. Drove round in a loop for ages trying to get out because there's almost no road signs. The place is some sort of Bermuda triangle that you can enter but never leave. Nightmare.

I had a NSD. Decided to appeal the parking fine because they're chatting rubbish about the terms of the (non-existant) contract I supposedly broke.

Amazing re brand ambassador. How often do you get freebees?!

Does he have to do a million posts on social media.

Oh. Dh bought marmite buns.

Once a month ish.... my favourite is a lifetime's supply of oats. Number of posts depends on the deal. The oats got a single interview, 2 pictures and association with DS & DH. Others expect more.

Liking the sound of brand ambassador

Adora I think toes hurt more than big bones. I broke my arm when I was a kid. We drove 60 miles across dirt tracks, picked up hitch hikers and squashed them into the car (7 of us in total). All on an asprin. If I stub my toe I cry like a baby.

What are Marmite buns? They sound delicious!

I could be a brewery ambassador, that sounds right up my street! Going to open a beer in a minute, as soon as dcs are asleep.

snuggly cheese and marmite hot cross buns. From M&S. They sound ace. Although wolf says they’re rank.

Am yet to try.

unescorted is your DH famous? That is very exciting if so!
My pregnancy tests haven’t arrived despite paying for delivery... maybe fate telling me to wait until OTD!!

My poor knee

@ememem84

He has some good points Em 😂

Happier AHH bless you 💐
You too Adora 💐

Fab news re the DH being brand ambassador Unescorted 🤗👏👏👏

Glad you got an apology Unescorted and yay to free beer and a lifetime supply of oats

The heating has been on here since 6.30am. It was minus god knows what outside and too cold to get out of bed and then sit working. I don't help myself though as upstairs Windows are always open whatever the weather and office is upstairs as well as bedroom so it is fecking cold even with jumpers and hot water bottles.

Good luck with the appeal Amber

Happier that knee looks sore. You have very elegant hands.

Em hope you like the buns more than I did. I'm psyching myself up to finish them for breakfast tomorrow

Snuggly doesn't it sound fantastic trouble is no one wants me for an ambassador of anything 😂 boohoo😂

Wolf do you leave the windows open to ventilate against Covid lovely? Only l do this a bit tbh DH goes mad 😂

Mrs no it's not a Covid thing it's something I've always done. Bedroom window is always wide open. Office, attic and ds's room are always vented at least

Airing the house is something I never really bothered with until covid. Now it’s a habit I will stick with I think, I feel like it improves the house a lot. :)
