Live on £4000 for a Year, 2009 Challenge, part 1

grandma247

hello charliedavies and puss14.
This is going to be a great year for moneysavers. I think we will all be more aware than ever of finances.
I haven't been able to finalise my figures yet as we still have gd1 with us but she is going home tomorrow. I like to spend as much time as possible with her because we don't get to see her as much as the others.
Puss14 where in Aus are you?

Wow! And still this happy family grows :T

Welcome aboard to everyone else doing this for the first time...... It's "first time around" for me, though I feel quite at home here having been chatting on the 2008 threads for a while now. But I felt at home from my first post on there, as this is such a happy, welcoming, and supportive family :happyhear

Just think, we're under Starters' Orders now -- another 15.5hrs or so and we're offffffff

Morning to all. Last day of this calamitous year. I really do hope that 2009 will be peaceful and above all healthy for you all and your families. Let us all spare a thought for people who are much less fortunate than ourselves and try to help out when and if we can. Even if we cannot spare any money let us offer 1 hour of our time; even that could make a great difference to someone s life and suffering.;)

I have a nice link for you today. Discounts galore for fellow frugal souls.:D

Thank you Janey51. It has been my motto,among others,for the past 2 months. Hope it helps everybody else as much as it has helped me simplify/streamline my life and avoid very very dangerous paths regarding my health due to extreme work-related stress because of stupid social pressures I had put myself under for at least 2 decades.:o


ALL THE BEST FOR THE NEW YEAR WITH GOOD HEALTH ABOVE ALL!!!

OH is making us some spicy parsnip soup for lunch (from the monsters he dug up from the garden). Got our meal planning roughly sorted out for the month.

So looking forward to tomorrow. Feel really positive..Thanks Everyone!! Hope you all have a great time tonight. We're going to have tea at Mum and Dads then off to watch the charity fireworks. Homemade bread with English breakfast brunch tomorrow.

Hi Puss My best friend lives in Apollo Bay on the Great Ocean Road.. that's near your place isn't it ?(in Australian distances) :rotfl:
