Finally Debt Free After 34 Years, But Still Need to Live Frugally

HairyHandofDartmoor

I had volunteering this morning and it was freezing walking there! It took twenty minutes for my face to defrost :eek:. I had a great morning, it's definitely my happy place .

I've volunteered to go in on Monday mornings now in addition to my Thursday and Friday mornings, to increase my experience. I also want more time in my happy place to get away from negative energy to do with stepdad's new relationship and missing my mum. I'll still have plenty of time to do my course and my coursework. I must remember to order the course book!

I'll need more clean ironed clothes if I'm going in three days a week, so with that in mind I've put a wash on and will do some much needed ironing this afternoon :A.

I laughed, and then remembered there are 8 giant tubes bought for pennies and hidden in the plastic box snack stash. Yum.

Lucky you :j :j

Great idea to add another day to your volunteering when you like it so much

Tomorrow I have volunteering and in the afternoon I'm looking forward to NOT having to do PPI claims or a VAT return :rotfl:. Instead I can catch up on housework and laundry.

You know how to live HH! :rotfl::rotfl:

No stockpiling here - in fact I have the kernel of a February challenge that might be just the opposite! :rotfl:

I've ironed a shirt for DH plus four tee shirts and some trousers for me to wear at volunteering. That should see me through tomorrow and all of next week .

DH is getting up at silly o clock tomorrow to go to a business networking event so he's bound to wake me up and then I won't be able to go back to sleep before my alarm goes off. He does this once a month and that's usually what happens :mad:.

I feel really tired now, I don't know if it's the cold, dark, rainy weather, or a slightly tiring week. Either way, I'll be glad of a relaxing day on Saturday.

The pension money isn't in yet . We're not really expecting it before Friday, but that doesn't stop us being disappointed that it's not in today .

I do know how to live, I lead a very glamorous and exciting life :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:.

I'm going to try very hard NOT to stockpile next time I go food shopping .

In good news DH's networking event has been cancelled because of the weather so I won't have to be woken up at silly o'clock :T.

The bad news is that it's snowing :eek:. I think it's only snowed about four times in the 26 years that I've lived here! If it stays cold overnight then it may still be around in the morning. I hope the school doesn't close. It's only a light dusting (at the moment) so hopefully it will be open.

DH will want to stay at home tomorrow if it snows as he hates driving in the snow. Luckily he can as he works from home and I always walk to volunteering :T.

I find it really odd that you all have snow down south and here there is absolutely none. We do have temperatures of -10 though :eek: Xx

I agree that is odd :rotfl:. It's much warmer than that here. I wonder why we have snow and you don't? :huh:
