August 2015 Frugal Chatter thread

Like Avon said between friends is one thing but for a total stranger to ask really is ballsy.

I am no help on the pattern issue...probably because I am a pushover!

I meant to post this earlier in case anyone is interested. It is a longer read...Josie's birth story.

hells bells @Crochetlady I wouldn't share the pattern good call. And definitely no visitors as I think they would have a hidden agenda ie the pattern etc.

Quite disappointed with Logan appointment we/he spent an hour answering a questionnaire. The guy would asked the questions just got back from vacation and had no idea what would happen next or how long the wait list for counselling and or telepsphy....sigh.

We could have answered this questionnaire ourselves just saying, however, it needed to be done by a qualified person....wish we could have done this over the phone....so frustrated.

Oh well I need to be positive

I might say where I found it or bought it but I wouldn't share a pattern with a stranger. I've traded with friends...and lots I've memorized and lost!

Bf should not take me to the legion. He ditches me to go smoke so I bought Nevadas although this time...we spent 60 (he decided to join me in opening them) and won 156 so we stopped.

Inquiring mind... when you aren't happy with food at a restaurant do you send it back?

Tonight we went out for wings...ordered lemon pepper which came out tasting like...salt. I tried one and waited for bf to try one commenting they sure didn't taste lemon. He tasted them and sent them back complaining too salty. I normally don't complain.

The bar manager brought out plainwings with a side on lemon pepper seasoning to dip them In. And pretty much tossed it on the table "here's your wings" Not impressed at all. There was no communication about options etc. Bf wasn't either but he made a scene which made me uncomfortable. I walked out on him.

I never have but then I`m a pushover when it comes to things like that.

[Granger]

^^^ and the pushover (me) has no problem sending food back. Lol!

We went to Montana's and I was so irate at the wait time and poor quality we ended up with free appies and 30% off the rest of our bill. Although irate I was still polite.

I guess with a pattern I would feel it wasn't mine to begin with, so although I wouldn't want to share I may not have the guts to say no. With food it is a service I am paying for.

I am so honoured that you have shared this story with us. I have never heard of this before. It's lovely. I never gave birth so it's a great honour to take the journey with you.

I love reading birth stories.

So, how did you know I needed a good, strong, emotional, happy cry right now?

Thank you so much for being so open to share your journey with us - it hit me rather strongly this evening as I read it.
Firstly, for being a birthstory (I aww/bawl all the way through One Born Every Minute)
Secondly, I think I needed a nudge/reminder from another woman of faith - as I had a very doubting day, just about life in general.
