Have not done the freeezer challenge but it did get me to do the reccy of what is inside my frosty freezers and will meal plan accordingly this week so that was great!!

Will get my folder in order for Chrimbo and have my trusty birthday book at the ready! Glad you are all getting organised too and i am loving all the chrimbo cards on the card thread getting me right in the mood!

Right gang the old thread is now closed but has a link to this thread. Sorry it's taken a while - I keep meaning to do it and then someone demands attention (like feeding, nappy changing etc etc ) - hoping that once I adjust to motherhood I'll be back on the celebrations board on a more regular basis again (preferably before christmas! :eek:)

I think some people just get attached to things don't they? I completely understand the reasons for the first split but I don't post half as much on either thread now, I felt like I could talk a lot of carp on the other one and nobody minded but the new ones are a lot more focused and not so much pointless chatter, at least that's how I saw it anyway.

But I still love the thrifty threads and i'm getting quite excited about christmas now Once upon a time I would have found that really sad but now I know, we're the smart ones

I've only just seen the July challenge, I watched Home Alone 2 yesterday while eating pear drops so does that count? My freezer is quite clean and frost free so I don't really need to do that. I'm going to get my file and dividers on Weds when we get some money

rainmac

I got my file and dividers today, just over £1 for both from Tescos

Can I please say a HUGE thank you to the brilliant Jamtart and Mum2One for all their brilliant help and to everyone else for making this a fab thread :A
