My attempt to be a super saver

snozberry

The pennies in my money box has taken years to amass. I have just left them alone. Tbh, I used to be really ruthless and all of my coins (except those needed for a parking ticket) used to go in them and I would bag them up every other holiday.


Thank-you. I got a little card from my son. Well, it was a list of phrases that his teacher wrote for him. The words weren't bad for someone who can't talk!


Job cuts are so stressful. Four people have to go and I have no idea how we can operate with an even tinier team. We lost three at the end of last year and can barely cope now.

Happy mothers day Snozberry. Those cards from your lo mean so much - I kept all mine and they are lovely to look back on even when they are 21 like mine is now ! I'm sure he would say all those things if he could speak

Today was an NSD

Been itching to spend some money (I'm shattered) and have filled several baskets on line with stuff and before I could wh1p my CC out I ... promptly deleted the page.

I have a bidder on eb@y. I only need another £58 worth of sales ...

Today is my third NSD on the trot although I did pay for my sons next block of therapy today. As I had already saved and budgeted for it I thought that it doesn't really count as a spend. We also ate courtesy of the freezer for tea and I took some soup out to defrost for my dinner as well. I made the mistake of taking it out of the freezer last week in the morning and it was still frozen solid at dinner time despite spending a good few hours sitting on my desk!

I often microwave things from frozen including chilli and stew so I would have just put the frozen soup in on full power for a few extra minutes. The way I see it we don't defrost bought microwave frozen meals.

Five more get ups until the holibobs!!! I am exhausted!!!

I have made a batch of soup ready for my dinners and the item I had listed on eb@y went for a lot more than I thought. I also have some pennies from TCB that I am waiting to appear in my P@yP@l account. I haven't listed anything else on eb@y and I really ought to. All the more for the cause!!

Ohhhh I can't wait for the Easter holls!!

Well done on fleabay sales. You can do them at Easter. 5 days and Friday doesn't count. That's how I remember it. I hope this week goes well for you.
