  • Hey all

    Lovely thread this weekend - thank you!

    My weekend - saturday working all day in womble land - but paid - yay
    Panto at night - free pal gave me the tickets for helping now and again with her daughter
    A few bargains in town at the Mr T after panto - spent enough to use a £6 off ticket by buying my chums xmas pressie yay
    Today - hm food - bummed about
    DD made cookies
    HC on airer and on stairs
    DW not on
    Used up leftovers for lunch
    Making frog in a bog for tea
    Collected eggs - not been out there much this week due to the hurricane (!) force wind - so found a nice pile there
    Got eggs ready for 2 pals to sell.
    Done a blog - got a book reviewed on it - if you're into free food or foraging the book (Frugal Foraging, Alys Fowler) is ace and I'd highly recommend it and if you want the chance of a free book - leave a comment on here and all names go into a hat

    (I don't make money on the blog, I've got an extra book and thought it might make for a fun giveaway and read)

    Hope you're all good and fine and happy

    Off to read back now!

    Hello everyone,

    Sorry for posting so late yet again, I've been out on a make up & hair course (Groupon deal) all day with a couple of mates, it wasn't the bargain we were hoping for but we've got an email address so we can complain, so we'll hopefully get some compensation.

    So today I've not really done a whole lot of DFW things...

    • Had brekkie from stores, should have brought lunch with me too but didn't realise just how ripped off I was going to be for a cheese & tomato sandwich & half a bag of stale crisps :mad:
    • Got a lift with a friend to the course, but I think I ended up paying more for petrol than I would have done driving us there myself :(
    • Got hold of an email address so we can complain
    • Got a few extra "freebies" to probably try & sell on ebay - they were Rimmel not MAC as stated so I want my money's worth!
    • My OH has done a bit of housework, not what I asked him to do though *sighs*
    • Sent OH to Mr T's for a few bits, desperately trying to stick to the food budget this month!
    • OH has put a load of washing on


    & now I will:-


    • [STRIKE]Cook dinner, from meal plan[/STRIKE]
    • [STRIKE]Do some washing on eco setting when the machine is free[/STRIKE]
    • [STRIKE]Hang up to dry[/STRIKE]
    • Wrap some presents in preparation for my sister's visit next week
    • [STRIKE]Charge phone via pc[/STRIKE]
    • [STRIKE]Enter comps[/STRIKE]
    • Check for surveys
    • [STRIKE]Check online banking & move some money around[/STRIKE]
    • [STRIKE]DIY IPL treatment[/STRIKE], cheaper than paying someone else to do it, plus I used a lot of vouchers in order to get about £100 off & gain a lot of Boots points, which I will use in the sale to buy xmas presents for next year
    Have a great, MSE evening everyone x
