    Dismal day here but better than yesterday :eek:

    So I decided to go for yogurts yesterday + fillers = tick

    2 President Brie and 1 jar of Nescaf! Original @ £4. = tick

    Later in day I thought had better check apg for yogurt.

    :eek: :eek: Half of the info is missing from receipt, no chance of inputting for apg. ds4 wanted to try for wine he says, well that receipt is no better :eek: :mad:

    I've been to Mr A today, they can do a reprint but not today, the lady that does them doesn't work on a Thursday doh :mad:

    So you can see why tiday us better, NSD day for me :cool:


    Hope you've all stocked up on corona, will it keep for Christmas? Probably not, knowing how some of us Elite drink :rotfl:

    Off to do a quick catchup while I gave the chance X
    There's no place like home :)

    Feeling down? Weak in body? Makes no difference to me, I think of you all when I'm sitting quietly.

    Hugs and healing thoughts are always going your way.

    I have at last been invited back to an orchard campaign...the first since the disastrous christmas one.....

    something about wonky veg...and chicken that is portioned to eat one and freeze....

    Think this was what everyone else got offered last week...the most exciting bit of it I think is the 200 cc points....

    Some fascinating discussions and insights on the thread today, thank you so much to everyone for sharing their thoughts. Generally when we have a frugal month it's a bit of a "fun" thing, just a way of saving a bit more for the holiday pot, but with lots of others doing it too it's made it so much more interesting and thought provoking.
    Retirement will be the next life stage for us, with DH retiring early if at all possible, so ensuring that we can live comfortably on less is good training for that. It's so hard to know how to prepare for retirement. My dad passed away at the relatively young age of 73, having retired at 62, so for him it was quite a short life stage, although of course he couldn't have known that. My mum on the other hand lived until 92, which she herself would never have predicted. DH's parents are both still alive aged 86 and 81. I would like to think we need to be prepared for a long retirement, but also want to do a bit of living in the now, while we're fit and well enough to enjoy doing so. Such a balancing act.
    For us, the best thing we ever did was get our mortgage paid off early. That made a huge difference to our lifestyle.

    In other news, we too have tenants vacating at the end of the month. My brother in law who lives nearby does regular checks on the property and says it always looks like a show home. The tenants are, completely unprompted, currently repainting the house from top to bottom as they want to leave it in good order! It was all freshly decorated immediately before they moved in two years ago. Not all landlords are bad, and not all tenants are either :)
