Savvy savers sashaying through September

[ememem84]

New thread. All welcome.

Do not let me go to the supermarket.... £35 for tonight's dinner and tat. I may have bought 2 x Bueno advent calendars for the kids because they deserve it.

Life with those numbers each key wasn't so bad..... still £50

Moving house is an expensive business Life. You've reminded me I need to get one of the new door keys cut as I accidentally caught one in a door jamb and bent it.

Unescorted you shouldn't be allowed in a supermarket and I shouldn't be allowed near a gin bottle. There was a little gincident yesterday after a very sweary work day

It’s one of a number of growing expenses in this house but still worth it.

Oops wolf and unescorted

£310 new hob and oven fixed. Next week
£120 multi fuel service
Went over drawn today so saving raider.

life soon it will all be done.
It has been sweary at work here too. My first meeting was at 7 this morning and my last finished at 5. I am thankful I don't have a commute on that too. Pizza for tea tonight.

Happy news ... DD is coming home for the weekend. I am looking forward to showering her hugs and love.

Oh that's good unescorted enjoy the cuddles.
Houses eat money.
We've got electrician coming tomorrow as hall lights kaput & it seems to be a wiring problem 🙄
Second visit by cleaner friend today, just loving it, worth every penny.
Pil arrive shortly until Tuesday. For once the house is ready for them! First visit since March 2020

North that is wonderful you are finally having your PIL to visit it's been so long for you all
Unescorted that is just fabulous for you all
Life you will get there and like you say worth it
Have spent 10 Tesco & £7 on a new TV remote
Just bread and milk and 2 tins of sweets on offer for 7
Have you all seen them in Tesco this week ?
Oh yes , 12 in a local discount place for lots of chewing gum on offer, Dh likes chewing gum in the car and 5 birthday cards.

Thanks humbugwhale!
LSD, skipped out of Iceland today with 2 pizza's, I bag of wedges, 1 box of chicken nuggets and 6 cornettos for a fiver working late at college tonight so that's forever hungry teenagers fed, chuck some salad with it, job done.

Perhaps not long enough Mrs ......
I will be making use of Headspace!

And gin 😂

£44.50 for Ocado shop - meal plans concentrated on using up freezer stash to make space. It's rammed and needs a sort out

Thank goodness it's Friday! It's been a long week and I didn't sleep well last night, am very tired. Looking forward to getting back into my pjs as soon as I get home from work!

Long working days for everyone. I am in a bit of a better phase at the moment and am really noticing the difference. Counting off the days til payday now! Need to do another very frugal food shop to get us through

am working today - usually Friday is my day off, but i was meant to have a meeting this morning via zoom so was going into the office for it. Parents having the kids and I'm swapping to a Monday off instead next week.

yesterday afternoon my meeting was moved to tuesday. but i decided to keep things as they were and just wfh today. parents already have the kids and my monday had become full of things which were difficult o unravel. so there we go.

ds is havign a sleepover with parents this evening.

just spent 52 on my coffee subscription. i'd fallen out of the habit of taking it with me to work. so am determined to get back on it. coffee will arrive at the house every fortnight for 6 months. this is a huge saving. 52 in the coffee shop will last me 18 days of coffee. and its the same shop so makes sense to do it this way. :)

have been spending recently. mostly on storage containers. boot boxes and things for toiletries. so lets not talk about that.

Morning everyone 😀
Have woken with a headache to beat all headaches 😱
Paracetamols and tea and still in bed ATM which isn't like me at all. Dd1 doing MumBobs thank God . Tablets will kick in soon l know 😊.
Em you have such a lot to do l don't know how you do it all 💐
Hope you have been able to continue to ride 🤗
Martha enjoy the good space 🤗
Humbug hope you get through the day ok and enjoy slipping into those PJ's tonight 😀
@grannycake
I need to empty my freezer . We ate out of it last night , Katsu chicken and it was lovely 😋
@Fearofawelshplanetthat was a bargain!!😊
@northender 🤣
As l am writing this moment, l can feel the headache lifting. It has taken nearly an hour and a half for the Paracetamol to work!!
Bought 2 gorgeous fleece blankets for my friends twin GC . Dunelm 6 each so that's 12 already. Will pick them up on Monday.
Have a lovely day everyone 😊

Hope you feel better soon mrs, sounds like a day in bed is what you need and a complete day of rest. Don’t tell anyone if you start to feel better

Went to see Ddad. He looked exhausted, he’s been very agitated these last few days and his hands/arms are all bruised from banging on doors His hair was looking very clean and fluffy though!

£18 coop - milk x4, coffee (because my subscription won't arrive today and we've run out!), mozzarella, toothpaste for dd* and some chocolate.

• i buy age appropriate toothpaste for the kids. i wasn't going to, but then tried to get dd to brush her teeth with ds' toothpaste (clearly marked 3-5). "no mummy for three. me two" (she knows its for 3 because ds keeps telling her. so ffs. separate toothpastes

Hope you feel better Mrsmadevans, nsd stayed in house, had my welsh lesson and decluttered so I didn't spend. Found Xmas tree and all the decorations out for the 1st of December, Yay! Free fun.

I love pjs when home too, humbugwhale!

Love bless your poor Dad & you it's not easy to see our beloveds like this 💐
Thank you l am fully recovered now , it has lasted all day though.
Thank you Fear have always wanted to learn Welsh well done!

@Fearofawelshplanet

Can’t get tiny curtains for da window so will have to ask a pal
With a sewing machine to run them up as I don’t have one atm

Love

More unpacked and sorting today

Busy day here. Moved all the furniture around in the living room as my back is bad and the sofa I sat on appears to be the culprit so I'm trying the armchair which was too far from fire and TV.

Finger crossed it does the trick as remodelling the ground floor next year so don't want to buy new until that's done

Then we went to the beach with the dog for a long walk

Have also made soup and a loaf in the bread maker and am going to make a jam steamed pudding in the Instant Pot.

Settling down for the rugby this afternoon

NSD today but will probably need something tomorrow

Hope everyone has a great weekend

Bought 60 second class stamps
For Christmas cards . 38 quid or thereabouts am trying to price some wreaths (10) for the graves out Mums Beloveds.
I looked into making them but l just have not got the time 😌
