    Glad to see everyone is happy for SM - I hope she can cope with wacky frugalite neighbours with a feathered menagerie for a garden. LOL

    I have to share this photo with you all - it's the newest additions to Frugaldom in the hope that they are girls and lay us big eggs for baking later this year :) Jemima (or Jeremiah) Puddleduck is on the left, the other 2 still don't have names yet. :)

    3 more frugal feathered friends

    SM was frisked last time she visited to make sure none had accidentally fallen into her pockets :D
    I reserve the right not to spend.

    Gorgeous photo Nyk, knew I should have taken a bigger handbag at the weekend :rotfl:

    Buzzbox - sure there will be lots of pics of all frugal adventures as long as they don't impact on my neighbour's privacy;)

    Well done sophiesmum,

    Wonderful news, I hope that you will all be happy in your new home, I look forward to reading all about it.

    I was down south again today, this time in Gateshead. Nearly visited a friend from another thread, but she was confined to the house, waiting on a mobile phone to be delivered. I'll see her another time when I am nearby.

    I can't wait until I am near Nyk's place, although I don't know if there will be any room for me to visit, because there seems to be a new addition to the family almost daily.:rotfl::rotfl:

    The duckies are soooo cute. How many feathered friends do you have there now nyk?

    Well, tomorrow is 1st May, so will need to get back on track, with writing things down etc. I'll soon get into the swing of it again.

    Speak soon xx
