Frugal February-the sequel

[Natalka]

thanks thriftgranny.. sometimes dh's head must be a scary place to be when he's thinking out these projects. it always works out in the end though.

LOL, your husband sounds like me!

It's beautiful; lucky you!

I'm so sad that when we moved I had to give up my craft room - and I donated almost all of the contents. I'm just slowly getting used to not be able to have all my 'stuff' -

[saundyl]

Wow awesome craft area! I so wish we had the spacce for a sewing area for me. All my stuff is in tubs under our bed...the sewing machine is somewhere in the closet right now.

Sounds like everyones been busy!


We had an unexpected week. BF ended up in the hospital "possible" stoke which they ended up being unable to find evidence of other than the fact that he lost feeling and function in his left side for about 8 hours. He spent the week in the hospital - home yesterday THANK GOD. The boys opted to stay with their mom so i was alone for the week. It was stressful the first couple days because of worry and then just pllain lonely. Made me realize how far my family really is away and well just how much i love him. I knew it was alot but...yeah.

All is good for now.

I was "bad" friday and ordered pizza for myself...and had some wine with it. Kind of a treat. Worked saturday and sunday.

Saundyl: Glad BF is back home.

MrsS: Love the craft area. Wish mine was that well organized.

[Giving-Small]

Great craft area Mrs. Sunshine

Saundyl - so glad he's home and doing well. That would be a huge jolt out of the blue.


Took the dogs to the off leash park for a good walk/run with the temperatures getting to zero. Awesome to feel the warmth of the sun again.

I bought clothes online after telling myself I wouldn't. But they were clothes for my DD who is in need of a few shirts, and they had free shipping and most of the items I bought were under $5 (some were under $3!). So I am changing the wording of my rule from "no online shopping" to "Stick to clothing budget" because those deals were even better than second hand stores.

Was nice to have husband home for three days, but it's back to work for him today...

After 45 minutes of shoveling some wet snow, got a nice frugal workout.
Safety first - stretch, lift with the legs - not the back- and take breaks.

That's one good thing about all this snow this winter

Well I've just finished my coffee and it's time to get frugally productive. I was off to a great start in January but have found our budget falling of track this month. Amazing what how a bit of take out, giving money as a gift (instead of making something) can quickly add up. Time to use up stuff in the freezer, get crafting, organize my coupons and search out ones for hubby's weekly lunch.

In January, I put together a box full of coupons for hubby's weekly "treat" and to share with his lunch buds. He and his co workers would look thru the coupons and plan where they could save (in many cases getting lunch for 1/2 price). Last week, he went to grab a coupon for Harvey's out of his prized box and to his dismay ..the entire coupon box was stolen!!! He was shocked that someone from his office could actually be that heartless. I'm getting him back on track with printables etc but this time...this time round, he's to keep the coupons under lock and key!

Well time to get organized and put together a box for a charity pick up tomorrow!

[Frugalbigmama]

Geez! How low to steal his box of coupons!!!

Saundyl, glad your BF is home, and is doing better.
Don't worry about the Pizza, you deserved it....
It was a nice treat that you needed after the week of worry, plus it was Valentine's and you were alone, so you did something nice for yourself.

Egg McMuffins? Sounds yummy. If there is too much for your DS (s), I am happy to help them out

Workout again. The snow plow guy came by to block us in. And there`s enough snow to do a second shovel, later in the day.
