Frugal Fresian's 2010 Adventures

You're all so industrious.

I went to the cinema and saw the new Sherlock Holmes. SB and I quite liked, Grandad muttered something about Basil Rathbone and the need so M&S crisps ( I zone out after a small while ).

Now it's snowing heavily and piling up again - made me think how like the men I have known that it is. Fresh, clean and nice to play with at first then wet, cloying and prone to lying - not that I'm a cynic by any means :rotfl:.

They're obviously doing flavours I haven't seen :rotfl:

:subscribes to more bovine madness:

Hmmm.....you spotted my deliberate mistake :A

It's in the same cupboard as the herbs

beanie, I've not ever had any S&G products either.......

I did declutter my utility room under sink cupboard just a few weeks ago, and wondered why anyone would require 3 bottles of window cleaner.......then discovered on flylady this week that you are actually required to clean the windows yourself - it is not sufficient to just have the bottles in the cupboard :doh: It seems I have been mislead for years :rolleyes:

F_F I am loving the lists. I like a good list I do. Mine wouldn't be far off yours but I don't have S&G. I used to sell Avon and after a year still don't need to buy shampoo, lotions, leg wax or face wash. Only buy conditioner, deodorant and bars of soap as DH doesn;t like liquid body washes.

Have just decluttered a box of mint crisps so it's a start:rotfl:

Ah, it's like having SW books in the cupboard too...and wondering why i am on a diet again...:o:rotfl:

Poddles off to check amount of Windowlene:rolleyes:

Oooh F_F, you're shaming me into doing an inventory of my cupboards
I know I got enough wild rice to feed a small country, so need to head over to the OS board to find 101 uses for that :rolleyes:
Keep up the good work :T

Right, we now know that I need to buy NO TOILETRIES until at least the end of the month, and that will likely only be mouthwash (I will only buy mouthwash sooner if it's on BOGOF, as I really do prefer Dentyl to anything else, but it's hella pricey...)

We also know that I have a LOT of food. I need to make up a small shopping list and nip to the supermarket tomorrow as overtime beckons on Monday and I need to ensure I have enough food for the week!

I still have to inventory the freezer which will then lead to meal planning. I plan to do this tonight, but I'm not hopeful

In order to make room in the cereal cupboard (Mr Fresian eats cereal like it's going out of fashion, so I always buy it when on offer) I used the last of a box of rice crispies to make marshmallow crispies. Om nom nom! I have made bolognaise with 1kg of mince which is bubbling away nicely on the cooker. This will be eaten for dinner and the rest portioned and put into the freezer as an emergency ready meal.

The snow helped me out today - I did some more decluttering and didn't spend pennies :A Money did come out of my bank account though, so that's been noted in the Frugal Tome and not counted as a NSD. I'm numbering my NSDs in the Frugal Tome and looking to find out how many I manage over the year. I'm such a geek....

Nearly out of salt, only one beef stock cube and no ham for sarnies. I think Mr Fresian is out of mayo too. I'm not talking a real shop, honest :A
