    Morning all :D

    As you saw from the post above, this weekend was quite spendy. I also spent money in the Next sale as I'm at the stage now where almost all of my work trousers are too big for me, so had to buy some more. I used the sale to buy a couple of things for Mr Fresian too as he tends to wear his clothes till they crawl into a corner and die :rotfl:

    I didn't strictly need a new camera, but the one on my phone isn't great, and I want to be able to take more professional looking shots of my cards, so when I saw the one I bought half price I decided just to take the plunge. I got the new slow cooker using my Sainsbury's card, so 5% off the price I paid, and it was already reduced to £15, so that was a bargain at least!

    I just need to be a Frugal Fresian for the next two weeks until we go on our holidays to the North, or we'll have no money for petrol to get there :D

    Whooo hooo to trousers that have to be replaced because they make you look like a clown and pool around your ankles when you bend over. There will be nowt left of you by Christmas at this rate.

    ps. You can't count the slowcooker as a spend because you admitted to that weeks ago before returning the last one. Its merely a delayed reaction purchase...... anyway budge over on the naughty step. I blew £160 in Mr Ts on food for the famished hordes and clothes for the weedlike daughter who seems to grow an inch every time I look at her. Her new school trousers which were carefully bought so as to allow growing room are already displaying sock... its only a month since I bought them and its not like they've shrunk in the wash. Bah.

    pps. Bunged a liccle blue something in the post to you this morning.

    I agree with moo2moo, you can't count the slow cooker because you needed one! Also, you need work trousers that fit, that is a must!! :D
