Try putting DSs phone in a plastic bag with some dry rice. It may work

Thanks granny, we had it in rice for 2 days, I'll try it for a bit longer though

Your trip sounds amazing but it's good to have you back.

Ali-OK

Welcome home - great to see you again and sounds like you had a fab time, excepting the food :eek:

Was going to suggest the same as Granny - We did it to DS's laptop thanks to that advice on here and it worked again luckily.

Driving and cars is heading into expensive territory, only 3 short years until DS hits that stage and I'm already dreading it :rotfl:

Thank you frugalites, it's good to be back, and it was good to be back in the office today

I was hoping for a NSD today but had to get diesel, a necessity. I had miscounted by NSDs while I was away, it was only 5 not 7, so that's 8 to date, another 7 to go before the end of the month, as I joined the NSD challenge for November

DS was saying how one of his friends (male) paid to have his eyebrows plucked. I said I hoped he wasn't going to waste his money on things like that and he replied there wasn't a chance when his sister did it for free :rotfl:

• Spends: £56 fuel
• Remaining dosh till payday: £421:T
• Extra Cash raised: 0
• Exercise: Walking to the car park and back

Does he want his sister to pluck them?

Apparently she already does, news to me!! He was asking her earlier if she'd wax his back for him too. I mean, seriously, what is happening to the youth of today, he's 15 :eek:

Today was a good day, 8th NSD day this month. We had some great news at work, we've hit our targets for the year already, so there will be a bonus in the spring, should be around £2500 after tax :j

Frugal things I did today was left overs for lunch and drove very slowly, averaging 75mph! I've also given up drinking tea so there's no 'rounds' to buy at work.

I booked some airport parking through topcashback, and have made a free eye appointment at Tesco tomorrow. I've been surviving off £1 reading glasses for £1land, but I feel I need a bit of a review, my eyes aren't too good, probably spending too much time on my laptop checking my bank balance!

• Spends: Big fat Zero
• Remaining dosh till payday: £396:T
• Extra Cash raised: £4.84 top cash back
• Exercise: I did get up early and do some stretching and a 7 minute workout :A

Dont want to nitpick ! But 75mph isna frugal !... Or legal, unless youre driving formula one ! Lol

grannyx2

I bet you mean 75mpg x

Great news re the bonus and well done on those nsds.

Skinnylatte

Yes I meant mpg doh, and today I managed 76.9mpg :j

I didn't manage a NSD as I lent DS £130 for a new phone. He's got some stuff on ebay which should pay some back, and the rest I will take out of his allowance.

I went for my eye test today, free at tesco. They said I just need some stronger reading glasses. No prescription required, I'll just buy the cheapies

I signed up to the Christmas saving club at work today, £100 a month taken out of my wages from January. So next december I'll have £1000 for Christmas, kids birthdays and hopefully a bit left over.

Not much else to report today, day off tomorrow, DD wants to go Christmas shopping :cool:
