Welcome everyone, new and old to our lovely supportive frugal thread .

I love the NT shop at Christmas @Frugal25 their tree decorations are fantastic, l bought an Elizabethan one yonks ago and it's in pride of place on the tree . Aw thank you sweetheart that's so kind of you ❤️.
Hope you are having a wonderful time in Sussex sounds like you are 🤗❤️.

I am the proud owner of an electric pump after I nearly passed out blowing up a paddling pool. Last year I reached new heights taking the pump on holiday to blow up pool floats! 😂

Love NT shops - we are sadly no longer members. But I do love a visit to Beamish museum at Christmas and their Christmas decorations are gorgeous.

£74.61 on a meal out this weekend with my DH, cousin and their wife. That was it - my cousin is a real foodie and we had gorgeous meals all weekend! 😋Back home today to DD's where DH helped Sonil with building their new shed - we finished off with the first BBQ of the season cooked/charred by yours truly!! Off to Costco tomorrow with a friend - that could be expensive!!

Steady on bab
There are a few other checks we need to carry out first.
Do your cups MATCH?
Do you have a "guest" towel?

Can't say it has to be honest I'm currently awake feeling pretty unwell and I'm up in two hours for work. Whoop whoop.
