Aspirations of Frugality and Fun on the Road to Mortgage Freedom

We have a large fridge - not the American style fridge-freezers because the freezer on those is such an awkward size - too small to take a pizza box for example.

Now that did surprise me - but then I thought I don't surprise the pizzas get as far as the freezer :rotfl:

Seriously though, you buy a frozen pizza, or buy fresh ones that you plan to freeze, they don't fit in those big American fridge-freezer things, even though the appliance itself is the size of a small family car. Blaaaady waste of space.

hello all,

Lydiaj thank you - i will definitely look at that site but its not loading properly for me just now.

Thank you all for the well wishes - it worked and i passed my assignment

I am almost up to date with study so will get on with this.

Selected another item to sell - it is in something i already decluttered but decided rather than keep something too small i shall get rid of it :T (it was a gift and i never got the receipt to change to the right size, and the tags had been removed).

I want to complete some of the items off my 'to do' list from the other day too. Priority is study though - the next assignment is looming large already :eek:

Morning all - today i have a few errands to run and i am trying not to forget anything. The weather is cold and wet here brr! so not a nice day to be rushing about in.

I managed to break one of our plates yesterday so I'll also need to pop to a shop and see if they have a replacement - it is on my route and has had them in previously but it was a while ago - still i can only try

Completed a survey this morning :T

Checked bay of e and banking :cool:

Going to get on with some more study now but hope to catch up on those jobs from the weekend later - so getting the phones charged, wiped and checking selling sites - they will be worth less than £1 each but i much prefer recycling than them going to landfill when they still have useful parts

My work bag keeps collapsing on me :eek: (its a faulty strap system) so i bought a replacement yesterday - which i could do after returning last weeks purchase And i have just looked at it this morning ready to swop things over and spotted that its damaged Hopefully there won't be a problem with the returns.

I am also shopping on the bay of e as i need a dress for a wedding next month. I had chosen the dress i was going to wear out of my wardrobe - and now realise its too white to wear :eek::rotfl::rotfl: Ok its very patterened and has other colors on it too which is why it didn't dawn on me earlier I personally would just not be comfortable. The other outfit i could wear i'd need to lose a few pounds first and as i am aiming to be all assignment focused now - and i must admit i do like a bit of toffee whilst studying - i don't want anything else to disrupt the momentum :cool: Especially after last week when all the pressure of all these years of study seemed to hit hard. So a new dress it is. I am watching a selection of dresses but they are a popular brand so we will see if i am lucky enough to nab one

Hope it is a good day for everyone

:kisses3:Congratulations! Knew you would!

Hard study and weddings - you have to be comfortable at both - you're at them both for a long time personally, now my figure isn't *quite* what it was (I still go in and out in the right places, just not so much ) A-line is best, and A-line in sales are even better :j

Good luck!
