  • Hi Princess Lou
    Not sure about the 150K really havent sat down and worked any of it out! :D sure we will do at some point tho!

    In MF news this week :

    *have taken packed lunches into work most days for both of us (lucky MrTyo got fed aren't I nice ;) )
    *£35 made from amazon sales (10 ish left to come which will go straight into house fund!)
    *Lidl shop yesterday need to tot up the food spends for the month - then that'll give a target to play with for getting them down a bit. MrTyo made a huge (and very yummy) chilli with at least enough for today and tomorrow plus 4 batches for the freezer!

    Nothing else particularly moneysaving going on - it's been a cheapish weekend so just chilling and perhaps some tidying/decluttering to be done today!

    Happy sunday all :j:j
  • *slopes in to see if anyone remembers me*......

    :D


    Still carrying on in MF land! We have an actual house (as in MrTyo has an actual room!! doesn't have to sleep in the cupboard anymore!! :eek::eek::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::T:T:T:T)

    Now...... with having an extra room ... with an actual bed in and everything, that puts us back on the MF wagon! :j:j:j

    Not much done of late as been too busy wandering round my mansion like house and MrTyo is very happy not in his cupboard! :D But now that leaves us with around £120K of mortgage to get rid of sharpish!

    So here's the plan ....

    Food shopping attack plan - we have definitely been spendy of late, but plenty of stuff in to go "shopping" from the cupboards and rustle up lots of healthy dinners and fill up the freezer!

    Ebaying - I'm sure in a grand declutter there will be stuff which can be stuck on ebay , or if I'm feeling super adventurous a car boot sale!

    Free (and/or cheap) fun! Been a busy few months and we are both in need of some relaxation! so plan on finding some frugal ways to relax- thinking picnics, walks , some cinema vouchers thrown in (have some somewhere .... must dig them out!) and a cheap-ish break in the summer , not MSE but good for the soul for sure!

    Anything else I come up with will keep the diary posted! In good (and slightly stunning!) news , have pretty much cut out alcohol consumption :beer::beer: no real reason other than got out of the habit of it, but much cheaper ! Have several "housewarming" bottles of wine which have been in the house for months now! - unheard of previously! :eek: so thats a good £6 a weekend that we aren't spending!

    Once MF , the next plan is win the lottery and retire! :rotfl::p
  • Nice to see you back!! :j
  • thanks Welshlady

    In recent MF-ness , have done the following....

    Paid all the cash I could find in the house into the joint house account :j
    Had a bit of a declutter - couple of things listed on amazon out of this..
    Signed up for delivery saver for online shopping (must remember to cancel in a month!) hoping to avoid supermarket and be able to get some batch cooking in!
    Got us some Free meters installed which means we can measure our electric use - a bit :eek::eek::eek: so far , every time I boil the kettle! :rotfl:
