Wow you lot have been busy since I last popped in.

Well done Slowly on the new job :T:T- hope it goes well for you.

Dizzy - looking forward to seeing your mousey friend. Well done for conquering the techy stuff.:T:T

Welcome Cuddly - you couldn't 'meet' a nicer set of peeps:)than are on here.

Mooloo - hope you and DGD enjoy your holiday. Well done for getting back on track moneywise. Its certainly hard being frugal but sooo worth it when you finally start seeing some light. Dread to think where I would be if I hadn't got to grips with myself:(

Right back to the boring horrible job listing on fleabay. Free listing weekend so I've got to make the most of listing my junk - of course I mean treasured items :eek:

I've got some relisting to do after as well Thrifty. It's sooooo boring though isn't it?

Here he is mousey.....



Once I'd given him his eyes and ears he seemed to come alive
I'm even contemplating making him a mousey wifey!
Managed to cross 3 things off my today list. That leaves 2 and I might manage one of those later. So quite pleased with that.
Absolutely pelting it down here now! Hope you're all warm and snuggly inside.

The mouse is very cute indeed

We have been to Whitby today and got caught in a rather heavy shower, did not spoil our fun though and took a packed lunch and only needed to buy a dressed crab to go with the salad.

So had a fun and frugal day out

Good job we try not to let the weather spoil things otherwise we'd hardly go anywhere! Where on Earth has all this rain come from?
Glad you enjoyed it despite the weather.

Love him Dizzy - he is gorgeous! Well done. Can't wait to see his wifey - maybe kiddie miceys to follow? Reminds me so much of the charming Beatrix Potter characters that I have always loved.:T:T

Had a busy but frugal weekend doing family stuff and listing on the dreaded fleabay. Think my brain turned to mush - how about you Dizzy? Its mind numbingly boring isn't it but its got to be done so I just will have to keep on going. Still de cluttering and wish I had more sales for my 'treasured possessions' lol.

Certainly feels good though when I see another box/shelf emptied - gices herself little pat on the back.

Have a good and frugal day everyone - ((hugs)) to those who need one.

Lizzie - he's great! :j

Have a good day everyone!
