Frugaldom

Merry Christmas, best wishes to you all. I hope everyone had a good day. 

No rest for the wicked, as they say, so it was life as usual for us, spent the day at Frugaldom tending to the animals then cooked a roast chicken dinner between the "Omnia" on the gas ring and pan on the log burner. It worked surprisingly well, even doing roast potatoes. 

Now, I'm checking accounts for points - I use my Nectar card at the petrol station, on €Bay and in Sainsbugs but haven't spent points in a long time so  I've now got £32 to spend.

Thanks to a lovely frugaler, I don't need to buy winter boots as they have passed on a pair they dont need  - very much appreciated.

We don't really do present exchange here, we tend to not need anything so it's all about snacks, cakes and a rare bottle of something nice. Enjoy the rest of Christmas and make sure to use up all those leftovers.

Cheers, frugal friends.

Cheers to all, I hope you’ve all had a pleasant day, however you celebrate.

The weather has been so mild here, but still windy. The wood burner was lit as normal although it’s very hot in here now! Animals fed and happy, one egg laid by the hens which I had in a sandwich for breakfast. 

Children highly delighted with their gifts - the bits from me were second hand from FB marketplace, but the children don’t mind it at all. DS helped me to skin several pheasants yesterday so pheasant pie and curry making is on the list for tomorrow. The freezers are bulging so I am aiming for a £50 food spend for January. 

A friend gave me a bottle of HM wine in exchange for two pheasants yesterday so that will be opened tomorrow. The temperature is set to drop which I am pleased about, give me ice and snow over this wet, windy muddiness any day!
