Oh SW you are naughty !! But it was a bargain price

savingwannabe · 1 June 2017 at 7:36PM

I know that's what i keep telling myself. :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: After all this I had better like it when it comes. Remember when i ordered the Diana von Furstenburg at a cheap price and it made me look fat????? Please let this look ok on me:o

I have spent today ironing, washing more bedclothes and a tablecloth. Also i have texted many people who are selling bedroom drawers as i would like to swap my dressing table for another chest of drawers. I am deciding on one that is fairly local and hoping they get back to me asap as it would be great to be ready before i go back to work. I rang anyone that had a white drawer set available and it took ages. I am still waiting for some to reply. At four, i went to see some friends at a pub - i only spent £10 on drinks. I've just cancelled tomorrow's day out as i need to finish off my tidying of paperwork, mopping, hovering and 'work' work before more socials at the weekend.

Weather has been glorious!!!!!!!!!!! yay.

It is v humid here and hasn't rained yet but we are expecting it to sometime this afternoon. So far I have done all my 'work' work, made a curry, made one bed, planted one more petunia at the front of the house as the lavender are so small.

I haven't spent any money yet.:j

Its hot here too ! Shouldn't complain really but I wish it would rain and clear the air. I have slept for an hour and just hoovered all downstairs and behind the sofa and I'm shattered :rotfl: New hoover is fab though

Did you have any replies about the bedroom drawers ?

savingwannabe · 2 June 2017 at 6:13PM

One has replied, it was the one that was too big and will fill up my bedroom so I decided against it. The smaller fleabay one I really want is on sale on Thursday when I am at work!!!!! but I will try to bid from home early so I get it. It is available from a seller 10 miles away and the builder can pick it up for me so I will be happy if I win the auction.

I am half way through buying a gumtr*e tallboy that almost matches it for a bargain price of £15. I do love buying stuff for cheap. I wish I had always done this as I would have loads of savings by now

The heat is really intense here. It still hasn't rained. I keep nodding off. I just have to vacuum one more room and then mop and I am done.

Then tomorrow I will sort out my paperwork and meet friends for a meal in town. I hope it is cheap as my direct debits haven't gone out yet and I am not sure how much I have exactly. :j:

One of the people I met yesterday mentioned she was made redundant with a terrible pay out 5 years before retirement. She has hardly any money now and regrets it. This is a lesson to me as with my health I know I probably wont be able to keep my job till I am 60. I keep thinking about renting out my spare bedroom and will take some photos of it over the hols. Any money from this will be my pension fund. I do hope it all works out.

Good luck with your gumtree purchase & ebay hope you win it. Its a lovely day today here, enjoy your meal out with friends.

Renting will be good income as long as you get a good clean considerate tenant.

savingwannabe · 3 June 2017 at 9:27AM

Ooooh what a palaver. We will find out tonight which one's i have or don't have as the sellers are rubbish at getting back to me. The fleabay one is currently on at £100 yikes.

The weather is gorgeous. i am looking forward to a great day out with my friends. :j I am just putting a wash on before i go. Everyone have a good day.

Hello my darlin' ♥

Hope you have a lovely day out today

We haven't had the thunderstorms or rain they promised yesterday or the other day, and we really need that rain

Don't pay £100+ for those drawers :eek: You can buy new for that

I've been lazy as usual today, but will do some decluttering tonight

savingwannabe · 3 June 2017 at 8:15PM

I won the bid for the chest of drawers including delivery it will cost £147!!!! but this is cheaper than the £180 in the shops.

:D

We went to see WonderWoman (not like the 1970s so I couldn't sing along to the theme tune which was a shame but like the comic book I think). Quite a few double entendres which were funny, quite ridiculous woman in swimming costume in the the Great War plot but a laugh nonetheless. Money spent including travel, food and present for friend was £56.00.:eek::eek:

savingwannabe · 3 June 2017 at 9:50PM

Hello petal, keep decluttering. I didn't see your post till now, it is v dear but I had already bid plus full price is £180. OMG it is boiling here too. Am car booting tomorrow. So excited.
