Thanx Sophiesmum.........I've bored the pants off everyone at work re the breadmaker....(and probly on here too.......but its saving me so much money)...

I laughed at my DS tonight, he sent me a txt saying stick one of those pizzas on for my dinner.....eh, ok ....but it takes a bit longer than the 20 mins he's used to.....and my DS is very difficult to please foodwise!!!!

Hi fellow frugalites, welcome to the weekend.:j

Frugal plans for today:

• make a loaf/some yoghurt
• storecupboard meals
• get going on veggie garden - it's sunny here today:D

Must get some digging done, got lots of stuff to get planted.
Have a good day everyone:D , mumzy how are you doing ?

Morning...
Like you Sophiesmum, I've got gardening to do...I've got to put my raised beds in place...hoping to get some free soil from a farmer friend of ours. I planted some seeds up in trays last week, so I'm hoping we'll be all ready to go.
I haven't got much else planned for today, certainly no spending which is a good thing......

Good morning frugalite friends :T

Panic panic worry worry worry today.
DS2 has his driving test later this morning :eek: Its his third time and I have a vested financial interest in this one as we gave him money to pay for more lessons

Everything crossed please :A

Sending good luck vibes, hope he passes. Know the feeling as just about to pay for my DS3's test:rolleyes:

Good luck to Janey's DS with driving test!

Overcast here and looks like it'll be pouring soon, so no gardening. Still going to attempt the baking afternoon whilst listing on eBid and reading MSE :rotfl: But while it is still dry, I'm heading to the postie and that's Monday left clear for paperwork. That's the plan, anyway. :rolleyes:

I know what you're saying, and I'll probly .....hopefully...... still be here doing this challenge in 2025.....though what figure we'll be living on then is anyone's guess

If you work on 3% inflation, the £4000 a year will be at £6611.391 in 2025... (nerd :cool: ).

Hoping to resist spending today, but I might be meeting up with my bf, and he is a bad influence

Good luck to Janey's DS, I'm sure it'll be third time lucky!

Finished doing my indoor jobs and dropped DD off at stables and on the way back the heavens opened. Not much chance of any gardening for me now:mad:
May get out later if it dries up a bit.
