  • I’m with you on the ‘shove it in the freezer’ malarkey. Also loving your fiscal fast. Not sure I can do that as we are eating out twice in the next few days but that comes out of ‘entertainment’ pot. Otherwise I’m with you on the fast too :T

    Best wishes Tilly xx

  • Thanks Tilly. Nice to see you.

    I don't imagine you have overspent as badly as us.

    Even when you say you’re planning on being frugal I think it goes to pot. We had to stay in the U.K. for Christmas due to family visiting us from other countries and I swear we would have spent far less in Portugal even taking flights into consideration.

    :(:p

  • Morning! Planning a trip to nearby market town today so DS can poke around in the recycle shop.

    Plops is having a rare night indoors since it is cooollld.
  • Would have been day 6 of fiscal fast but some money spent so will re set it to day 1.

    £5 on 6 books and 3 DVDs. Also bought milk, bread, batteries DH razors and some diet coke.

    I had to have a tantrum in Tesco to get them to replace DH's mobile which was only a few weeks old.
  • Good morning! Day 1 of second fiscal fast. Woken at 6 by Puppylove becoming airborne briefly before crash landing on...me. Girl wants her breakfast.

    Today I hope to put together the second bookcase in our bedroom (pretty sure we are not rushing it, it has been there since August).
  • Puppylove sounds like she is a very good communicator. Was the tantrum secretly quite liberating?

  • Yes, I am on MFP. Looking to kickstart that in the new year, are you as well?

    Good luck with the bookcase. I'm the same, if it's not done in a couple of days it'll probably still be there in 6 months.
  • Oh yes Floppy!

    Michelle Smallholdingsister if you can find me?

    Flat pack DONE! We can see our bedroom floor!

    Ooh, the flatpacking didn't take long once you started!

    Good for you for tantrumming at Tesco - though its appalling that you needed to. What with acid for Christmas lunch, they really sound like they're going downhill.
