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

Morning all!
The only bags you ladies you are allowed to wave on this thread are bag lady ones of course :rotfl:.

I'm rubbish at thanking - sometimes I do sometimes I don't it depends how many zillion pages I'm trying to keep up on.

I love all the help and advise on this thread and was going to ask for some virtual help getting a thorn out of my knuckle but after an hour I squeezed and the blasted thing just popped out :mad:

On a better note we filled the second skip yesterday and still need another but the garden look loads bigger without the greenhouse that we never used. The base is going to be a seating area (still haven't started on the garage).

We we're going anywhere today but OH managed to snap the toilet handle off (again) so am sure we will end up buying loads of other stuff as well hopefully a barbeque to replace the 2 rusty ones that have been skipped

Hi Rusty hope your backpain will be a bit better today, if you can't see your doctor do you have a nice friendly pharmacist you can go to? Volterol can help if you are having muscle spasms and you can buy it now over the counter. A good pharmacist should be able to help advise you in the absence of a doctor.

Hope everyone else is ok? Haven't been feeling too good for a while, I do read all the posts, but haven't been up to posting, my life seems a bit boring compared to everybody elses!!

Thankyou Mason, I woke up really stiff this morning, I am hoping it will ease and I will be a bit more flexible but who knows!

You can have my life if you like? :rotfl: Hope you are feeling better soon xxx

What is everyone in bed ? Why are all mothers not up like me running around playing taxi driver to their 18 year old son ? I need a banging head symbol here

Rusty I thought NCT stood for Nottingham City Transport :rotfl: See a theme developing here ? :rolleyes:


Hope everyone has a super sunday. Yes i can put that now because i am pretty sure i will be sleeping through the first half of it

Now ladies are we at handbags at dawn ? Well put down the bags and grab one of these :beer:. We love everyone on this thread that is why its such a lovely, friendly and helpful thread/ group of people. So no argueing and no one not posting... I will track you down and bug you until you come back to us,so its not worth the hastle. I spend most of my time on this laptop and i aint afraid to use it :rotfl::rotfl:
Ms Jammy I am watching for your post count to start going up soon, or i will fill your PM box with fluff

No honestly ladies we had enough with 'Nappycakegate' please lets not have a 'Thriftygiftygate' too

I must admit too, i am the worse one EVER for forgetting to thank people on posts. I just forget !! ( Its my age and the tablets) :rolleyes: But i do have spurts when i remember and then thank everyone. See just being here and being part of this community is thanks enough for me. It makes no difference how many stars i have for posting no matter how many thanks i have given or received. I have made some great friends and thats enough for me. I give thanks everyday for having the health,warmth and love of family and friends. We all have lows in our lives. Thats again where i find the strength to carry on, through the fantastic group of friends be they 'virtual' or 'real' that i have found on this thread. I may not mention everyone in every post ( i do try to mention as many as i can ) But i can talk for England have you noticed that ? So i try to be good.

Well thats my ''fluff'' for the day lets hope that we all have a great Sunday...:T

Guilty of Nappycakegate! :rotfl: Tis all my fault I should be hung drawn and quartered

Cor blimey she don't half natter on that K

lmao!

Sounds like you've been v.busy Paddington, all worth it in the end.

well put choccy. At the time you posted I was trying to convince LO that it wasnt time to get up. Every time I left his room he sat up & made a noise so I ended up grabbing a spare duvet, my pillow & curling up on his floor. Hopefully it wont become a pattern coz I dont want to do that again I slept fine as I was exhausted but was rather stiff this morning.
Cant believe your son still wasnt back, your too good to him, but I know you cant sleep until you know he's home safe. Hope you get a nice lie in & then he brinks you a cuppa in bed!

I tried to word my post as nicely as possible but I think Ruth has still taken offense. I feel really guilty and sick inside, I couldn't sleep thinking about it which is just sad really but I am such a self-wind-up.

There is no argument or tension here, no issue honestly. I just thought I would always be open and honest with everyone but it wasn't important and I should have kept my mouth shut.

Sorry everyone.

Oh and on the thanks thing, seriously don't worry about clicking thanks!! We all got better things to do :T. I try to thank every single person but sometimes my thanks button dissappears or won't work. I am really not going to be petty over some internet thanks :rotfl:Was just wondering why someone would click thanks on the person before and after me but not me. Wouldn't ever want to offend someone and not know.

RainMac Have a nice day at the zoo with the boys, it's a beautiful day today as well. I will hop on over to your blog xx

Chocolate Orange Where did you go last night missus? You must be mad staying up so long to be a taxi you crazy woman xx Hope you got your sleep you needed :T

Marg everyone is welcome here and you are more than welcome. You don't need to be thrifty and gifty.. that's why the thread was created.. to help people become it. If you saw the state of my house some days you would wonder who I was to be doing an organised for christmas tidy checklist :rotfl: Don't you dare ever EVER stop posting because I enjoy each and every one of them x

manson666 Good advice on seeking out a pharmacist, I didn't think of that. I am having the most boring life ever lately so don't worry about it.. I love it when my life is boring :T No tragic events!!

Sylph Special K I can tell you now my writing is not clear, especially if im writing really fast :eek: You didn't half make me laugh last night. You are a nutter :rotfl:

bunbun your stories have been cracking me up! I wonder how many people do sneak a picnic in to Disney land, apparentely they have every single area covered in cameras though!! Seriously, don't worry about clicking thanks.. Just seeing you come here and post and be supportive and a part of our thread is enough for me. I always enjoy your company :j If I ever didn't thank one of your posts then I am really sorry xx

Hayley I think you need to open up a technical support helpline and start making some cash off your uncle, paticularly if he calls you at 8am on a sunday :eek: I thank you very much for your lovely words and congratulate you on a very successful week getting up and out.. I'm really proud of you xx You got the crafting bug!! What you going to make with the pretties!


Rusty How can you ever feel unloved, I love you every single day xx

Mhagster i will be going to Disneyland for my 10 year wedding vows renewal honeymoon so that will be on halloween.. maybe we can meet there.. only 6 years to go Glad you had a lovely time in France.. or should I say.. a smashing time?

pinkladymel

paddington You made me laugh.. I really think you could start a craze with your bags you know.. I think you should set yourself some kind of crazy challenge to make 50 of them and have a Christmas fare.. I would love to see that

pinkladymel

I am going to be a goddess today and make a lasagne. I was up at stupid o clock because I needed a wee.. teach me to have two kids one after the other and drink a can of coke before bed.

I am one of those people who just CANNOT get back to sleep once I am woken up.

I have got a right treat in store for you lot for Rudolph Day this month.. WOOPA! I have ideas!!

RustyFlange

I think Mel has just laid down a gauntlet challenge for Mrs Bag lady :rotfl:

Can she rise to the challenge?

Mel I love you too ... although not as much as ice cream but you are a very close second

I had to laugh at the special K :rotfl: I have visions of a woman I have never met prancing round in a slinky red dress that is all floaty

I had a fantastic laugh last night with K, Ooooona (from lalalooloo land), Mel and Fluffy, you really cheered me up ladies so thanking you
