Frugal fun in February - the one with the Spring spring

[Unescorted]

New thread continued from this one

All are welcome - just dive in.

£25 lunch for me and lovely colleague. We do this once every 6 weeks or so. Lunch and a gossip. Nice.

@CurlsandCurves woah pension payments! Proper adulting!

I know - dd is 2.5 now. Big girl. And ds will start school in sept. How’d that happen?!?!

Dishwasher is fixed! And whilst the chap was here he serviced the washing machine, which hadn't been spinning well. We discovered that was due to a small plastic toy being caught up in the internal mechanism. I could kill the kids but I'm so pleased it only cost me £45 all told that I may let them get away with it 😆

£4 postage and £9 coop

Pensions are fabulous... it is the only savvy financial thing I ever did.

Good news on the dishwasher 8

Thanks @Unescorted Really relieved.

Agree on the pensions too. I like knowing I have something sorted for the future 🙂

Shopping today in Cancer charity shop , Lovely SJP candle for £2
6 X Books for 3 , Aldi 20 marks 12 .
Have been watching the Brits
Omg l am so old 😱

Should of been a nsd but I committed a mn sin and bought off my mlm friend. She’s lovely but could sell snow to the Eskimos. She does body shop so I already have a ton of that as has branched out to fm. I will now be the proud owner of 6 perfumes that I don’t really need as I have lots of perfume I got 3 bottles for Christmas not fm. Spends £25 pfft

I buy off friends Alfie. It’s hard not to

£113!!!! Next. New trousers for dd (looser ones) and some jumpers for ds. Ffs. Stop growing kids!

I may have "developed an allergy" to whatever it is they put in cosmetics.... Helps that I don't wear make up very often.

My favourite pair of jeans are from Next.

£3.45 on paint brushes to paint the new doors (assuming this doesn't cause then too much discomfort & inconvenience 😉)

8 those doors know how to play you
None of my friends have MLM goods tat thank God

€3.64 yesterday groceries

€6.50 car wash ticket will use at weekend, half price today

Avon is a MLM? I buy a few bits from someone at work, but only stuff I use.

Apart from editing tomorrow’s shopping delivery to save a few £s, I’ve had a NSD.

Need petrol later in the week though.
And I must change my name on my passport ££s this week which is annoying as I have 5 years left so keep delaying. But nhs covid passport is in my new name.

£1.30 on a loaf of bread. Only a few weeks ago it would have been £1.05-£1.10. Times are changing.

Tomorrow I need milk and a lettuce. Rock and roll.

For the record, I cannot buy cheap bread. Because DH is a bread connoisseur and will only have the good stuff. Which is fair enough when he’s working all hours. His alarm is set for 2.30am so who am I to scrimp on his packed lunch, bless him.

I’m up and working already. Attending an online webinar on Middle East tax. Yawn.

But cpd. So I’ll at least get my hours up.

Blimey that’s early

I have lots of days no spend in terms of cash. It is EBay spending I need to watch. I buy my beauty and health stuff mainly from there.

Today I am going to the walk in barbers for a dry cut. Plenty of women go. £7 instead of £35. I feel bad to not be supporting the hair salon but I will still go occasionally when my curly hair needs more styling. Self employed and work is quiet.

£61 Ocado included a bottle of whisky for DH, £30 approved foods - mostly chocolate Should be a cheapish weekend as rugby is on TV so dog walks somewhere nice and then watch the games (with chcocolate for when we lose!)

@lifelongfrugaleer

Blimey that’s early

Yep. It was streamed from Dubai though so time difference….

NSD for me today yay!
