Sunday night rolls around again and it's cold, windy and pouring down. Definitely not a night for being anywhere but on my sofa! However on the positive side my part of the country is "in drought" so all rain is welcome. Mind you I do wish they'd fix the burst water mains a bit quicker round these parts, it might help the issue a bit too, whaddya reckon?
Welcome to new readers and commentors. I have left a comment to the lady in North Australia in my last post, in reply to yours. Very interested to hear how things work out with your solar panels. And No Spend Days, it's good to know someone else knows how I feel at times (and it was definitely how I felt at the time of starting this blog!). I hope you stop by often.
So it's the end of the weekend but I have a day off tomorrow which is lovely, I am meeting a friend and escorting her for lunch. She has some health issues and currently can't focus properly so she can't drive and needs a helping hand getting about safely. So I shall pick her up and I'll drive us to the nearest town (she lives in the middle of nowhere) and we'll get some lunch and have a chat. I have about ten pounds to get me through a lunch date tomorrow which may or may not be ok depending on where we end up! We'd mooted a Frankie & Benny's last time we spoke about it but I may have to knock that on the head as I think it would be quite pricey. Just a sandwich and a hot drink or two somewhere simple would be great but we'll have to see what there is available.
Changing the subject completely but I thought I'd talk about them anyway.....clothes! Today I am wearing a lovely ruby red cardigan that was given to me last week by a friend. She'd bought it and it was too big for her....it's a size 10! And she had a baby this year! Teeny tiny delicate friend I have (jealous). Anyway it is just about the right size for me (I'd say it's a generous size 10 if being honest) and I do like it. One of those kind of trendy ones with deep V neck and matching colour buttons and long cuffs on the sleeves. Wearing it with a little black vest I got cheaply from M & Co last summer and a pair of Next bootleg jeans I got off EBAY about three years ago! So all in all, I am a walking talking clothes bargain rail today!
We've had a bargain dinner tonight too. We had a large potato to use up, some frozen baby spinach in the freezer, some left over mushrooms and an onion. Plenty of rice & spices in the cupboard so a tasty curry was whipped up by hubby. I now feel stuffed to the gills.
Heating has been on & off today as planned (we did pop out for the afternoon to see Mother & Father-in-Law so that helped) so all in all quite a good day from a frugal point of view I think.
Well that's about it from me, I am looking forward to watching the second instalment of Charlie Brooker's "Black Mirror" tonight then I think it'll be bedtime after that with a hot water bottle.
Thanks for stopping by for my ramble today and I wish you a fantastic week.
