ATB'S Frugal Foray to Freedom

atypicalblonde

Morning all

- £8.12 Tilly tidy made :T
- NSD day ahead :T
- Freezer packed full and meal plan done for the whole of April :T

I feel some of my mojo has returned and it feels good. Must dash, need to get the bedding in the wash. Have great, frugal, days all xx

Had a very busy but productive morning. Topped up on fruit and veg at the market, then walked home and cracked on with some housework - the really neglected bits, like the windows :eek: All looking lovely and sparkly now

I've also done a load of paid stuff, shuffled £100 over to the mortgage and had the nod for some more paid stuff which will earn me £200 in around 4 weeks time. Happy days :T:T

I'm still here, still OPing too just not posting as much. It's the Easter holidays and both kids are home. 'Nuff said :rotfl:

Morning all,

£50 OP made and NSD ahead. There is a chance, albeit a small one, that we could hit our end of a June target of £125k by the end of the month. It just depends on whether a couple of pieces of work come off which are in the pipeline. Watch this space

Sold two bits on eBay overnight so another £50 in the pot.

Taking DD to the park today although it is very blustery so we may need hats on. Have lovely days all xx

Fingers crossed you hit your target early.

Expensive week for us we definitely need a new washing machine but managed to get one with free delivery and extra 10% off I think its a model below the latest one but if it does the job I don't mind.

I was going to take advantage of the buy now pay 6mths later until I was at the last page of the online financial agreement were it mentioned I would have to pay £29 settlement fee. So quickly rang and made sure it was all cancelled and paid in full - I was trying to keep the money in the savings pot, but hey ho.

Looking forward to having all 4 children under one roof this weekend..


Have a good day

Good morning all and Happy Easter

We are currently on holiday and the weather is being kind (Wales). Managed a few hours on the beach yesterday and more of the same planned for today. We are taking packed lunches and our own drinks with us so no spends needed (other than for a pint at the pub on the way home )

Bank holidays mean DH hasn't been paid yet, so when his money arrives on Tuesday I'll do a bit of a shuffle and have a better idea of where we are.

Roasted lamb with all the trimmings for dinner today, and lots of :EasterBun of course!

Have peaceful days all xx

There are some beautiful beaches in Wales. Have a lovely break.

We are so lucky here Cath, the local beach is stunning and we always rent a beach hut too.

Kiddies got lots of eggs but also sme spending money, which they have opted to spend on a visit to a local farm

Lovely holiday continues but I'm already getting sad at the thought of going home!

Looking forward to checking online banking tomorrow and seeing exactly where we are, how sad am I :rotfl:

Off for a walk on the beach now, bliss xx
