    To be frugal, you need to spend money wisely, simply spending less is not enough.

    Morning all :)
    I have just woken on the settee so just putting down what I did yesterday before I hop into bed for an hour or two although almost tempted to just stay up now to be honest.
    I completed level 1 much to my youngest's happiness :) Also washed his curtains,washed the windows, completed more than half hour of ironing :) and spent lots of time with my two children and my two nieces who ended up sleeping over :)
    It doesn't sound a lot does it? Obviously cooking, dishes and shopping were all there in between it all but I will try to do more :) Pleased with what I did do though :)
    Have copied and pasted into word the original list for the week and going to pick out some stuff to make a list for myself for the weekend including some bits that I know I need to do :)
    Going to have a look at that now :)
    Jenny :)
    Everything happens for a reason :)

  • Morning all. Just returned from 11 days in Hong Kong. Managed to stay up till 8.30 last night and woke this morning at 5am which is only 1 hour earlier than usual. Hope that the jetlag is sorted but I still feel tired(but not sleepy) so it will probably bite me in the bum again later. Kitchen which was tidy now ressembles(?) a chinese laundry - did do two loads yesterday tho. So that is my main todo for today. My other todo is to go pick up our new puppie:T Will post a piccie later or tomorrow for those interested.

    Diva - glad to see you back in your usual place on the thread:)

    Glamazon - Welcome. I'll give u one of these:xmastree:so Toots our official meeter & greeter spots you. So that is it you are now officially in:rotfl:
    Many of us work and don't manage all the lists every week(I think I managed 4 stars one week I was off all week) but the help & support is brilliant and you'll get loads of advice too.

    Morning All

    Have you had a good time jacky?

    Well done lil-me - you'll be great!

    I told the kids yesterday that we'd go out somewhere today although I don't know where yet and it's been snowing so that may restrict us a bit. I need to do some ironing although DH said he would do some as well but that remains to be seen - as long as the uniforms are done though that's the main thing.

    Have a good day all

    Hugs

    Ok the new uniform is waiting til after work on Monday when I can pick it up on my way home - hubby has just got home from working a 12 hour shift through the night and is doing the same tonight so we won't have time to go. I could go myself but seems silly to waste money on bus fare,(almost 5 pound for a ten minute trip down the road)! when I will be passing the uniform shop on my way home from work on Monday :) Old uniform will be fine for the one day :) So instead of buying new uniform that task will change to getting uniform washed, dried and ironed for Monday :)
    Right going to have a cwtch,(cuddle), with my hubby :)
    Catch you later :)

    And I've been alochol free since the beginning of December when I hibernated and while I have a few more quids on my pocket I haven't lost any lard either! Though it does depend what you drink.. lager and wine are the oworst for making you gain weight.. stick with clear spirits weightwatchers said!

    Rose wine is my tipple so am hoping it helps, only want to lose a stone, not comfortable in my clothes and I am not buying new ones :rotfl:
