Frugal Fresian's 2010 Adventures

Primula

OMG you are just getting too blooming organised now! Wrapping Christmas prezzies already!

I was well impressed you coming in budget, no, coming under budget for January for your challenge. Well done, I am watching with interest, wishing I could do it one day, but deep down knowing I honestly don't think I could! Keep up the good work.

I have some M&S vouchers valid from 1 Feb to 31 March. I won’t be using them as I have to make a special journey to go to M&S so it would not be very MSE friendly! However I thought of you fresian for the M&S Cafe one (I seem to remember you posted recently about going to M&S for lunch with a friend?) so if you would like it just PM me and I will send it out to you, or if any of the others are any good to anyone else, just PM me and you can have them. No loss what a virtual friend gets!

They are all valid 1 Feb to 31 Mar 2010:-
£3.50 to spend in M&S Cafe
Save £2 when you spend £20 on food (I have 2 of these ones)
Save £5 when you spend £50 on clothing & home
Save £10 when you spend £100 online (must get rid of this one or rip it up or I will fall off the crazy clothes challenge big style!)

I don't need this one as I'm being a frunchkin for the rest of time so won't be buying M&S food, even when it's Dine In For A Tenner *sob*

PM'd about the clothes and cafe ones though, everyone else can dive in for the rest :rotfl:

NSD # 14 of 2010 for me today Must dash - off to the pictures now with my friend, had to run out of work early, throw dinner down my throat and now out again!! All go in Fresian Towers today!

[strike]Monday - Fishcakes, tatties, peas[/strike]
[strike]Tuesday - Bolognaise[/strike]
Wednesday - Roast chicken, tatties, veg
Thursday - Chicken cassoulet w/leftovers
Friday - Bolognaise
Saturday - Roast beef
Sunday - Chilli w/rice

Morning all!

We're going to be moving the meal plan around a bit as Mr Fresian hasn't been too well and didn't fancy roast chicken for tea tonight. I'm going to be making chilli instead, which is fine by me but I make it in the slow cooker so I need to start cheffing in about two minutes.

I'm knackered as one of the sodding cats has recently discovered that if he clicks his claws on the bedroom carpet I wake up and in his tiny little brain me yelling at him is him getting attention. This morning attention consisted of me throwing something at him and yelling "F**king animal." Shutting the bedroom door has no effect as he claws that and miaows

My ING account is up to nearly £1700 which is very exciting, but I know that some of this will be going to the decorating of the spare room which is a pain. I think I'm going to buy a new bed for us though and put our one in the spare room. Its a good bed with loads of life left in it, but I would quite like one that either is higher off the ground (so I can store things in boxes under the bed) or one that has built-in drawers.

I received my Quidco money this morning as well as my second-last Ebay payment of the current batch. It's been a good month for earning, and February is a nice short month so hopefully I will have a good surplus at the end of the month. I'm not going to PAD it though. I am now working to an annual budget, so all extra money will be kept in the appropriate accounts and I can start to do stockpiling!

Happy Hump Day!
