Morning - day 4 of chickenpox. Me and madam are in the throws of either being incredibly close and loving or she gets really grumpy and uncomfortable and snappy to me! Probably another 3 days of this!

Feeling really sad as heard an old friend has died. Wanting to be close to the people who knew me when I was younger

Today we have a friend's child coming for a sleepover. She is a duracell battery so will have to have a chat about bed time early on!

Will make pizza for tea and let them have a baking session to while away the hours. Thinking might suggest a fancy dress, and throw them a mini party

As well as that:

* take pup for walk
* maybe go to the allotment. I really need to but have little desire at the moment...
* all meals from stores
* nsd - really need to reign my spending in

* load of washing & line dry. Really grey and muggy here
* do some sewing
* madam watching toy story at the moment - she's really into the series!
* friend has asked me to do a sewing repair for her. Be good to get it done today and give it back with her child tomorrow...
* do some gardening
* do some sewing
* might go for a run, might not... Really should have more commitment!

That's all! Have a lovely day guys

Shifted a few more bits on Facebook and got a £1 final value fees offer on eBay so got listing there. Few more things I must list today/ tomorrow tho.

Also offered some things to old friends. Can't say the house seems any emptier yet

Popping back into the loft to see what other treasures it can release. I want the space almost as much as I want the pounds.

Hi Sunday Savers,
Just having a bit of a sit-down after lunch, then I might take my book out into the garden to enjoy some down time. Frugal bits of today's list:
*Picked more home grown tomatoes.
*Water veg garden.
*Sorted plant labels & have soaked the used ones to get them clean for next planting season.
*Free fitness walking up & down garden goodness how many times doing jobs - one of the benefits of having a long garden. Mr f has made great progress on his project to extend our garden by a metre or two.....lots of jungly bits succumbed to his saw & can now get behind the shed easily for maintenance.
*Update DFW diary - will do shortly, though anyone wanting to spend a nice sunny day reading about my beansprout experiment probably needs to have a word with themselves.....
*Load washer for overnight laundry on the cheaper tariff.
*Make tomorrow's packed lunch.
*Planted out various cuttings & things I'd potted up - I love free plants.
*Knit more sock later - I should really have finished them by now.
*Two baths from one lot of hot water.
*Pamper myself with some of the lovely products I recently won in a raffle. I only bought a single £1 ticket & won a gift box with about 7 products in it, which has topped up my stash nicely.

Evening all

I have been a bit lazy over the last few days, and now have a messy house and garden to contend with and really hot weather forecast for the next few days

Really tired today as we went out last night, to an old friend's 93rd birthday party. We were home by 11, but I am absolutely shattered - and I am not the 93 year old :eek:
Anyway, a few small things:
Bought a floaty skirt and top from the boot sale this morning for £1. Thought it might do for around home for the next few, hot, days, but when I took it out of my bag to wash it, it is probably a bit posh for that! Also bought a HG cucumber for 40p. Very low spend day :rotfl:
Walked dog this morning - not much exercise value as he was exceedingly slow, busy looking for dropped chips on the pavement - there was an event at the park last night and the Sunday morning pickings (the ones he saw before I did) were richer than usual.
Made a big pot of rhubarb compote, currently in fridge. Must do something more permanent with it.
DD brought kids round, so fed everyone lunch while the kids added to the confusion in the house, by tearing up paper and leaving toys, sticky marks and crumbs everywhere :eek: At least the dog dealt with the crumbs!

Roasted a gammon hock and did a tray of roasted veg in the oven at the same time

Made a jam sponge pudding (a quick one, in the microwave) and earned OH's and my brother's undying gratitude :rotfl:
Gammon hock bone, with some stock veg and herbs currently in SC to make a stock / soup base.
(Another) huge pile of washing up

Now need to water seedlings, and get an early night!
Hoping to get up in the morning refreshed and ready to tackle my disastrous house, as well as sorting stock for my sales unit and taking it down there!

PS, welcome lifeatthe kings, hope you stick with us. There will be a new thread for the new week tomorrow
