The Thrifty Gifty Girls 2009 (Organised & Money Neutral for All Occasions) #3

paddingtondoo

Hi Cady,
I tend to have a look in the pound shop about once a week for bits as I do a lot of hampers. They seem to have a lot of johnson's stuff and radox in at the moment including Neutrogena hand and nail cream with an rrp of £4 odd.

I also check out the special offers in Boots although I've been a bit lazy with that just recently.

Peeks in quickly

Liverpool 99p shop had the Lindt Gold Easter bunnies in store today
And Home Bargains has the bags of small caramel eggs for 49p instead of the 1.09 they are in Morrisons


Thats about all I have the energy to type tonight but I hope some one benefits from it

Its official


My name is Choccy and i am a spendaholic


This was the thought going through my head as i clicked buy for 3 magnolia tilda stamps.

Now i know i need help because

a) i have never used any stamps that i already have
b) i told a certain few people (plm) that i didnt even like the tilda as it looked weird without a nose !!!


Dear Jammy oh queen of the thrift.... i promise i will try to be thrifty as soon as i have got the gifty bit out of the way :rotfl:

Ooooh guess what, i've found a crafty group near me! I think I might be really brave and go, the first meeting is at the end of the month. Glad it's not an established group, won't feel like an "outsider" then. I might have to get a taxi home because the bus service down that way is rubbish in the evening and I don't fancy standing around in the dark by myself! Oooh could be good though, be good to meet some new people.

I was looking for other groups around me and I have just found The Manchester Vampire Meet Up Group :eek: It's for real vampires only So you can only go if you are willing to suck blood :eek: :rotfl: Is it wrong to be laughing at this??? There's a 106 members!! Thank god I don't like in the city centre anymore, i'd be scared of going out after dark!!

Oooh just found another one - the Millionaires Group, for people who want to become millionaires Don't we all?? :rotfl:

Okay I have decided there are some nutters in and around Manchester!!

Please note: I am very sorry if I have offended anybody

My grandmother passed away early this afternoon. I wish she'd got to meet the great granddaughter. It was peaceful, but I wasn't there. I took the night vigil at the hospital and was home sleeping when it happened.

We all got to tell her what we needed to, but somehow it doesn't feel like enough anymore.


Thanks everyone for your good wishes. I got here in time, but she was already sedated when I arrived and hasn't been out of it since.

You take care xx

I am so sorry to hear about ur grandaughter, but glad that u all had time to tell her what you wanted to.

Morning ladies, hope everyones ok today, its my birthday (51:eek::eek::eek::eek:)
Not sure what we are doing yet but hoping to go and buy a camera, have seen one on the Asda web site for £59 so hoping they might have it instore somehwere.

Had another £10 this morning in my bank from Littlewoods Bingo which is from the free scratch cards.

Went mad and bougth myself an early birthday present yesterday, a box set of the Jurassic Park films, was one of the weekly special deals on Amazon and was priced £5.95 and I used one of my £5 vouchers so paid only 95p :T for 3 films and a bonus dvd which I thought was brilliant.

Anyway, off to enjoy my day. Catch you all later xx

Happy Birthday Rufusdog

Hope you have a great day rufus, whatever you decide to do.

I've got myself organised this morning with Race for Life. I'm doing it at the end of next month - my race will be more of a slow crawl to the finish - and have been signed up for ages but not got any sponsors. I've now sent a begging email and facebook request, if you receive this from me please do not feel obliged to sponsor me, I've just asked loads of people in the hope that a few will do it. Just checked my page and my brother has sponsored me £75 :eek:, don't think I need to ask anyone else now .

Hayley, well done you on finding out about groups in your area :T I agree the vampire one would be one I'd avoid but the craft one sounds fab

Choccy, you are spending but also making great cards and other crafty stuff. Check out choccy's blog if you haven't already... http://itsnotterrysitschoccys.blogspot.com/ I've done my first stamping for years recently and loved it, good luck with it

mum2one, blimey you've been really busy with the money making, well done you :T:T:T

Hope everyone has a good day x
