From Frugal Foundations to Fortified Family Future

Thanks KajiKita - DH would be mortified if he knew he was mentioned 'in dispatches' 😱 But you're right. We've stalled over some test results not being available, so someone needs a reminder/gentle nudge/kick up the bahookie. DH and the health service app……. I'll get on it 👍

Did you get the email saying they're ending Mr L "Coupon Plus" to replace it with something else? 😄

Nooooooo…….? 😕 Which one of the coupons is coupon+ - sorry to be dim, I'm a newbie to all this.

Free potatoes etc.

No, I haven't had an email to tell me that ☹️Thanks for mentioning it.

my happy moment with nature today could possibly be viewed as an eek how terrible moment but DH and I both smiled as a crow landed on our shed roof, took a moment to adjust the whole croissant in its beak before continuing its flight home for brunch.

I haven't had any info from Mr L about changes to the app. I got an extra fruit freebie today which was a nice surprise. I need to workout what to get that will last well as we are well stocked at the moment.

Ha ha - that sounds worthy of the sort of 'made off with next doors turkey' animal story that Liza T used to feature in her show 😁

I've just had my e-mail through from MrL regarding no more Coupons+ after May 4th ☹️

On the app it says that more rewards are coming and will be announced on 5th so fingers crossed they will still prove useful.

Good Morning MFW'rs

Wildlife notes of today - we were just sat in the front 'oom, minding us own, and a house sparrow flew directly into the window 😱 Frightened us, but thankfully, it looks like no ill effects, as that sparrow, and it's family flew off, ok.

LG had a wood pigeon fly into their bedroom window (closed) the other week 😱 We assume the bird was OK, but frankly were more worried that the window was intact.

Some sort of shopping to be done today. I was thinking about going to the market town across the way, as I need one or two things/to do some chores, and that is quite well placed for 'all' the shops. But I think I will stick to doing the bones of what I need in MrL and maybe MrS, here in Greying Town. MrS have lost the plot now though with the n*ctar card. Offers are on things that I haven't bought for ages, including the crinkly oven chips that I bought in error as the packaging was near identical to the straight cut that I do buy. Points offers, are now pretty much limited to stuff that appears on my 'prices' list - so double dip for MrS. I will keep hold of my n*ctar card for the time being, but it's not inspiring loyalty in me, which I get the distinct impression is what MrS wants. I don't spend enough, on the right type of (ie branded) products.

I'm sort of up to date with the washing, so I don't think I'll have anything to make a load today. Not too sure about the weekend forecast though - I may rue this decision!
