    Thanks for posting @Ms_Green.  A lot of members on this forum bake a lot. As there are only 2 of us it cheaper to buy the items than make them. There are lots of foods I cannot have. I may have a go at recipes with just have 4 or 5 ingredients in them, and which the ingredients do not cost the earth to buy .

    I won 20p on the topcashback game.

    Today will be housework - hoovering the stairs.

    Have a good Sunday

    @WinterWarrior.  Purchase to win comps may be good for you. On foods you buy there are plenty of comps to enter. You may be lucky.

    It is a month since I posted.  I am still trying to be as frugal as I can be. 
    I am putting money away every day into my Xmas fund and have opened a Monzo account which I can transfer my Xmas savings into .

    Hope everyone is keeping up with being frugal.

    Enjoy the furry owner! Yes you need some things but I can tell you all my furry owners loved empty boxes and hair ties/ milk bottle tops, which are easy to find, but be careful of the hair ties, the furries are beggers for trying to eat them.

  • Don't buy a special bed - they will sleep where they want. Don't bother with buying expensive toys - they will play with everything. The only thing I would recommend is something for them to scratch, a litter box and scoop, and a couple of bowls for food and water. Everything else they will just take over as they want it.

    So our new arrival has been with us for 3 weeks now .  He is a bundle of joy.  He takes up a
    lot of my time but I am thoroughly enjoying his company.  
    They do not stay kittens for long.
