Thanks Ally! I'd never have thought of doing that!
Clf, thank you too I'm expecting to find it in the last giant box of lego I look through to be honest!

Hi November Networkers,

Afternoon!:coffee: Day off. Kept warming by staying in bed.


Debt-Free-Nillionaire Continuity Plan Year Four:

* Check online banking. Done.

* DW will make six portions of lettuce soup with dying cos lettuce. Done.

* Get some exercise.

* Consume homemade banana bread/coffee and walnut cake. Done.

* Get 2-for-1 with Meerkat Movies at the cinema this afternoon.


* Make handlebar bag for bike from a makeup bag I bought yesterday. Done.


Things don't have to be perfect to be wonderful.

Wow - lettuce soup - didn’t even know such a thing existed!

How to make a free replacement. (Link)

OH is REMARKABLY picky (no pun intended) but def a good idea for a learner or an emergency

OH will only use .73 Dunlop nylons. We even bought some .73 Tortex Dunlops (they were going cheap but a different material) and they were deemed not to have the right amount of bendiness. There may have been some truth to this as he started snapping strings at a pace. Clearly rocking too hard.

Yesterday was very accomplished:

- start exam question prep
- mend a shirt and make a fancy dress neckerchief for OH

:beer: ds definitely won't be picky (pun intended :rotfl::T ) He's only just started learning I didn't find his one but my niece has messaged to say she has a spare so when she brings him that one, I'm going to have a go a making a few spares using that one as a template!

Hi everyone :hello:
Thank you all for such kind words - I confess to having had more than a few tears and feeling very sorry for myself at the moment. However, I will get through it because I always do. I get back up and keep fighting no matter what. I have an engineer booked to come and look at the washing machine as it's less than 5 years old and still under the extended guarantee I was offered when I bought it - next Tuesday as that's the only day that I can get someone to sit in and wait while I'm at work. I just feel as though I get one thing sorted out and something else comes my way. Hopefully it will stop soon.
I'd gotten wobbly at work by the end of the day and had a good chat with a couple of friends, which made me feel a bit better, and when I got home I had a gorgeous surprise from our lovely Foxgloves, which has just about made my day. Thank you.
So I'm keeping the DFW faith, even though my debt continues to rise. Using up leftovers, and stuff in the fridge that's needing used - I've just had banana and peanut butter porridge for my dinner... and I've bagged another nsd. Just keeping my head down and looking forward to an early night and hopefully a better night of sleep.

Evening Tuesday Frugalistas,
Can't decide if I've had a productive day or not. Kept vacillating between wanting to do stuff & sitting on the sofa feeling a bit low & headachey. Mr f has bought me a cookie - I'm cheered by small things these days, aren't I?
*Pegged out my cheap load of overnight laundry, which got rained on & is now on the heated airer. Set timer for another half price load tonight.
*Made a big beef stew in the slow cooker & portioned up leftovers.
*Made tomorrow's packed lunch.
*Did a couple of surveys.
*Reconciled all my emails from Ziffit with what I have sent them (6 boxes) so as to check off payments coming in.
*Started a Christmas food list.
*Unthreaded my strings of homegrown chillies as they had dried well - filled a big jar & I zizzed up the surplus for chilli flakes.
*Knitted more of my jumper.
*Tried to put a Christmas wishlist together as requested by mr f.
*Sorted out 5 bags of stuff for the charity shop - not money saving but decluttering always feels good.
Hoping to feel more 'in the zone' tomorrow.

CCL - glad you liked your prize. Sounds like it arrived on the right day for you x

Morning guys I'm in a rotten mood as I went to the Drs yesterday about when I passed out. I've got to go for further tests but have been advised not to drive atm. Which means I'm about to leave and catch the bus but the weather is shocking! Feeling grumpy! Luckily today is my last day for a week and I'll get a lift home one way or another.

Cat if your wm doesn't get fixed look on ebay. I've bought lots of appliances second hand and a friend of mine got a wm for £15 that did her a couple of years x

Today:

* washed hair & let dry naturally
* put B/L/D together
* check onepoll
* reading book
* sewing - really want to alter my dress for tomorrow....
* hang up washing
* put washing away
* read newsletter

ok that's all I can think of right now. Better dash!

Morning all
Babysitting today, and baby was really cranky yesterday, so I am not looking forward to it He will be here shortly, and his mum picks him up just before 6pm, so it seems a really long day, and I am always shattered at the end of it. Luckily DD is changing her hours in a few weeks time so I won't have him for these long days. He is more difficult than GD was, and of course, I am older (GD is at school now). Still, onwards and upwards!


Not much planned apart from that, no point, as it won't get done! I have however folded and put away all the washing I got dry yesterday / finished off on the airer overnight, except my brother's which is in his laundry bag waiting for him to collect it. Have texted him to tell him it is ready. Just need to put away the summer duvet which I also washed and dried yesterday - thought I would need a trip to the launderette with that, but it fitted in the washer ok So pleased I managed to get it all dry yesterday as it is raining this morning, and rain forecast for the next week or so

Lunch will be bits from the fridge and some of the nice loaf I made in the BM last night, and for dinner I will do something with the stodgy kedgeree I made yesterday :cool: No plans to spend anything apart from postage for a RM surveys parcel, but that will be refunded. I also have some books and other bits to take to the CS, which will make an outing for GS this afternoon, and declutter the dining table a bit as well
