Pulling my frugal pants on.

Cherryfudge

Ah, I see now ladybird. It's brilliant they are getting more independent but when things change gradually, it's hard to keep track so your thoughts about monitoring it are very sensible.

It certainly is cherryfudge. 

Application form is in, just a case of waiting and visioning. 

Been to dads as I needed to sort out more paperwork and financial stuff. Managed to get rid of some mobility aids, did keep a shower chair as might be useful in the future. Bought some useful items home too. What I need to investigate is whether house clearance places, charge to just empty or whether they will buy decent stuff. Another problem for another day.
 Tea is risotto with leftover squash. The youngest had chicken curry (chicken reduced by £4)

Yesterday was a prep day for the weekend. I made lentil and mushroom bolognaise for tea last night, added kidney beans, sweetcorn and chilli to the leftovers for tea tonight and made chickpea, spinach and squeaky cheese curry for tomorrow tea. Looking forward to getting to the yha and relaxing. Bought 2 books (£2) from a charity table to take with me. Just need to pack.

Had a lovely weekend away despite the weather. It was nice to treat ourselves instead of totting up what stuff costs etc. Although it’s back to frugaling to build up a new EF and getting my private pension up and running. 

Dads house has been valued, half sibling just needs to move their stuff out. It’s an ongoing battle but it’s slowly filtering out.
 Another tc from the youngest, another issue with their chair which I had to go and sort at college. No news about the job yet,  closing date was only Sunday though 🤣. Waiting to be seen by chiropractor.

I cant imagine having to do the sort out of stuff - currently eyeballing my own in case I have to move quickly in the new year

Frugalness for yesterday
1. dress sold on Vinted has been collected, so money has been deposited ( allocated to soon to be organised 🐞PP)
2. Used natures tumble drier
3. bulk bought tinned toms (  bee food price)
4. Free exercise- miss giddychops and yoga
5. tea was baked beetroot risotto ( our beetroot from the plot)
6. Prepared roasted tomatoes ( last of our toms) for breakfast today.
7. Read my book instead of watching tv
8. Parked for free at college as the youngest had issues with chair, then went into town and then picked them up when college finished.
9. Wm, dw, ec (electric chair) and car on/charging using off peak energy tariff 

Not so frugal

I always think of Ladybird when I manage to get my washing on the line, using nature’s tumble dryer 😊

I live on a big old hill and it is always so cold and foggy up here at this time of year that I feel a little envious when I see people still drying clothes outside at this time of year. It is just too 'up in the clouds' here to ever be able to do that. Even in summer it is sometimes too wet to be able to dry outside (my gratitude in reflection is my tumble drier- hoovers answer to big foggy hills and not being able to use nature's tumble dryer )

I used to live somewhere like that …. 

But the views in summer were stunning 😊😉
