    • Wash living room throws (two in washing machine atm)

    • Cake/biscuits for bro's visit on Saturday
    I am the leading lady in the movie of my life
  • Just a complete unrelated question......Does anyone tip their binmen and postmen?

    I was organising cards last night and wrote out one for both.....my dad came over and said he had never tipped any of these in his life!! My postman is always the same one as are the bin men, and they are very good to me....esp when i forget to leave the bins out!!!! The post man always leaves my parcles in the garage....or around the back behind certain planters...and leaves me a note to say where they are!!
    So I tip them every year!!

    To be frugal, you need to spend money wisely, simply spending less is not enough.

    (((Hugs))) Lil_me

    See Pink - we knew you weren't well...

    Am half way through bathroom - had to break off as mum came and then I had to go to the dentist for a hygeniest visit. Parked in Lidl's car park so nipped in and bought a few bits. Have come home and emptied 'cocktail' cabinet as it is a repository for glasses and is full of half sets. I have 'pruned them' and will wrap and take them to charity shop and must finish bathroom...
