Right, I am scared. Very scared. I have nowhere near 200 pairs of knickers in my knicker stash.... 'WHAT IS TO BE DONE!' I hear you cry 'WE ARE SURELY DOOMED!!!'

fear not, my frugal friends, salvation is at hand....

In the form of Peacocks... 5 prs for £3 last time I was there :rotfl:

Help! My drawers (pardon the pun) are overflowing as a result of the recurring event known as Christmas undiefest. How does this affect our budgets, as I could actually profit by selling the surplus if they keep accumulating at such a rate. Can I be excused from banking the £5.83 per month and, instead, request a new page be set up on the click to give charity site? I click every day to help pay for rice for the starving and I wouldn't mind doing an extra click each day to help support (pardon the pun) those poor nuns.

PS: Does anyone live near Woolies and can make use of a free packet of Cadbury's Mini Eggs? Just got their newsletter with a voucher for free 100g pack but my nearest Woolies is about 40 miles away.

hm, 'clicks 4 knicks 4 nuns'.... im afraid i dont know much about clicks.

What you could do is send a parcel of surplus knickers directly to the knickerless nuns.
Or you could sell them and put the money into the knicker stoozing account

I guess what you do depends on the style of the knickers - if they are suitable for nun use

I think I need to be more Frugal ( sighs loudly) 6 weeks in and I have already spent about 1/5 of my annual budget and I can honestly say I havent bought anything extravagant, except some wooden screening to stop the weeds blowing into my garden £8.99x4 packs, I started putting it up today and the horses starting eating it so I have stopped until I think of Plan B (keep horses away). I havent even been posting for a couple of weeks as I felt I had nothing positive to post. I did get a laugh today at the knickerless nuns, you can always rely on this thread to lighten the mood and renew your efforts. Maybe I should post more often and keep on track of things, blimey this is like therapy or (AA)! Maybe FA( Frugal Anon)

Well at least the troll gave me a laugh, a new pair of shoes each season, I'm still wearing shoes I bought with birthday money I got for my 40th, 16 years ago, though I have to say they are a bit like Triggers broom & have been re-heeled & re-soled so many times.
I'm still trying to work out my AL (after lodger) budget, I will get round to it soon, I promise.

Hope this brings a little [un]seasonal fun to everyone. I'll post on the Freebies too, if someone hasn't beaten be too it.

I'll be using it to put into the present box. No eating it myself ... [stern reminder!]

Having just packed all my used knickers in a recycled jiffy bag, I am now posting them to 'Freepost Nun's Knickers'. I was going to wash them first but decided that they'd be okay for a couple more wears. (Stopped myself from mentioning 'sniffing').

Now, I found a couple of dusty shoelaces that had fallen behind the shelf in the storage cupboard and I've cut a corner off the shower curtain. Anyone any ideas on how to assemble it into a thong?

I would say staples but they're a bit 'scratchy' and I wouldn't recommend chafing....
