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

I hope you enjoyed that Pasty, it wouldn't have stood a chance here @RumBananaSundae😋🤤😁.
Glad you saw your friend and dodged the rain. The cheap days out sound good, even if they mostly involve pubs and football 😂. What's not to like 😁
That FIFA prediction game sounds fun. l will have a look at that thank you for sharing that with us 😁👏. I know England haven't a hope in hells chance but l think France stand a good chance to win this time after all they got to the final in '22 😁.

Exactly ! Think of the calcium you had in that, done you the world of good 😁

Personally I think it's the perfect balanced diet
Honey
Dairy
.... Anybody would think I was a dietician.

Omg think of the antibacterial benefits from the honey, you should be head nutritionist 😁

If Beckham appears on the screen I suddenly become very interested @Frugal25 . Ahem indeed 🤤 .
That gift bag was a good buy, far better than turning up with a Christmas one 🤣🎁.
And that was lovely of your friend to get the tonic water. It sounds like you’ve got a nice arrangement where you take turns, which always works well. Hope you have a lovely catch up on Thursday with the birthday girl 😊

Do you think they would like me to pop to the world cup as their nutritionist? In the name of science obviously ;-)
I could even be a frugal one and do it for both countries!

Sorry to say that though my only spend today was £1.90, it was an in-app purchase for a game. I am going to have to find a way to limit that as it's not the first one!

Not only should you be the nutritionist for footballers, can you be mine too?
I'm convinced carrot cake is good for my eyes and chocolate cake is the ultimate due to the eggs, milk, Coco beans..... @DeepFriedCreamEgg

Definitely @DeepFriedCreamEggyou can nourish fatten 2 countries teams at once . You will get a damehood 👸 and Beckham loves a title 😁

Oh I'm not so much a Beckham fan! I just don't "get it".
You say fatten I say insulate. Haven't you seen the news? It's going up again in the autumn. Eat your goodies now have a layer of frugal heat during the winter.
@Frugal25 I suspect you and I would be good friends with that logic 😆 we could justify the cake and coffee at soft play very easily.
Carrot cake is a frugal option too it saves money on glasses.

That's ok you not finding Beckham desirable @DeepFriedCreamEgg , @Frugal25 and l are more than enough for any man to contend with 😂
Insulation you say 😁 hmm , l like your way of thinking 🤔

Afternoon everyone 😊
Just coming home from Costco , £120 and we had lunch there for a fiver , how ridiculous is that. Hot dog for DH and baked potatoes for me 😋.
Mum ok sister reports so everything is ok here thankfully.
Hope everyone is ok and having a lovely day 😊

Does anybody else ever get an impression what other regular posters might be like IRL?

Yes!! 🤣
But you might not like who l say 🤣.
So l will just say who l think l am like.
Nessa without the tattoos 🤣

@DirtyGertiefromno30
Actually, I got more of an impression of Gwen? Everybody's mam, sit round in your dressing gown after a night out with Stace.
Go on... What's mine? 😆

Aw that's so lovely of you and you are dead right l am like Gwen ❤️
Ok then , gulp 😁, a young Victoria Coren Mitchell 🤗

Oh I love coren Mitchell definitely a compliment! Won't be giving birth at 51 mind!

Glad you aren't offended 😁 she's amazing 😊

I often try and picture what you all look like!!! But I don't have a celebrity to name for any of you.... Just kinda people I've put together myself.
I don't know Gwen, shall Google. Ooohhh I like her face, that's a lovely person to be thought of I think.
Love Victoria coren Mitchel. Often wish she was my friend to go shopping with (love her dress collection) so we can definitely be friends at soft play eating carrot cake @DeepFriedCreamEggand insulation.....

Go on then, do me!!

£16 today in a charity shop. A dress and a pair of shorts for me for holiday. Chucked shorts that don't fit away when I got home. Also got two toys for DD and a new handbag for me as mine is about to fall apart.
£3 on the bus to the library with DD.
£20 today on yoga as I forgot to pay last week. Bad girl.

Def happy to keep Beckham to me and @DirtyGertiefromno30
Move over Victoria Beckham

I don't have to even think about this one you are a young Olivia Colman to me .

🤣🤣🤣

Sounds like fab day for you @Frugal25with your charity haul , dress and shorts for hols 😁 enjoy yoga tonight 😁

Oh I love Olivia Coleman. What a compliment thank you!!

So is David!

I had a really pleasant journey earlier this year listening to his book on audible it was lovely.
