Resourcefulness: The budgeter's friend

Sounds like you have had a lovely day and Mr F got a bargain on the soap. Our local gift shop has been selling off her Christmas soaps, and so far I have resisted the urge, but they do smell lovely and are quite a natural company. 
Enjoy the film. Sounds creepy watching it by candle light...lol.

Oh well done done on finishing that shawl! 👏 That really taken some persistence. Are you pleased with it? 😊

I have just looked up your shawl and it is really pretty but I can see why it wasn't easy although I am no knitter.

Well done on finishing your shawl, I'm looking forward to seeing a picture once it has been blocked.

Just added another UU item to my list - I pay £1 into a purse for each item that gets added and am up to 11 items. These are stock/surplus items that we all have. It doesn't matter how small or large an item is as they could have sat in an appropriate storage space for years not taking up any room but yet need moving on. I think of it as a reward and it further extends the purpose of using up. 
I had a check in the food cupboard yesterday hoping to find a tin of corned beef without joy but found 5 tins of condensed milk looks like fudge is on the list for today using up.

Hey foxgloves (where's the wavy emoji gone?!) Recently returned to the forum so thought I'd seek you out. Lovely to see you continue with the old school ways I finished my MA in social work and am now practicing for a year, now returning back to my frugal ways - which I am loving! Hope you'll have me back, good to see a couple of the old faces!

(also man 100 books in 2025, that is impressive!!)

Wow hello @determined_new_ms how lovely to 'see' you! Congrats on your MA and new career. We have very few emojis on here now unfortunately after the site was 'improved'

Good to see you back - I miss the weekly 'small things' threads, KA

yay a small things reunion!  I did look for it, a couple of pages (my commitment was lowkey!) Maybe we should resurrect it. Was a lovely community at it's height. I suspect, along with a lot of things, Covid was the final blow. Thanks for the welcome arms, a sign of real friendship

Lovely to see you back with us DNMS. Congratulations on your MA 🎉
