A plan so cunning you could brush your teeth with it :)

Just found a cracking blog on the greenfingered thread I thought as a lot of us are growing things then it may be of use.

Ooh, Bob, all that cooking! Yum. I have a fair bit to sort before I actually start cooking - now I've sorted my laptop out again, I have to sort my cooker (thats just getting an oven thermometer and sort of calibrating it), a new mobile phone, the new printer, and oh yes, the food processor For now, since its only 7am, I'm going to have some brekkie and read that gardening blog.

Well today my plans were scuppered. We started to get the fence panels out and sort out which were salvageable and which weren't:o

Unfortunately there is hardly anything which is.:eek: Started to knock slats off and they were crumbling away, as they are rotten beneath the fence preservative, so what looked ok- actually isn't.

The wood i had, just won't do. After pricing up what needed doing, it worked out cheaper to buy ready made or custom made panels....so my frugal plan has kind of back fired, as i have 14 fence panels to replace! That includes ones which have been sorted, i did a lot last year, but obviously the bad weather has finished things off- i have 16 in total to replace. So have been visiting places today to sort out prices and see how much the damage is:o

Good news is one neighbour will contribute to costs for his side.

Other good news is that the fridge freezer will be delivered on Thursday:D:D:j So i can make savings by bulk buying again:D

Enjoying the weather though so i aim to make the most of it before the end of the day.

Gosh Bob that sounds like hard work. Once it is done you will reap the rewards. Well done on fridge freezer. Next month i promise to buy a freezer so no more going out for me.

I know what you mean SW, because i have no fridge and just a cool box at the moment, i am having to plan things daily. I have given in tonight and Mr.B is off to the chip shop. Not exactly frugal, but i have been so busy all day, i just haven't had time..Mr.B has also been busy helping an elderly neighbour chop down a tree and cut it up..so Kudos for him today.:D
