A frugal life is an easy life!

Day twelve:

I will check the outside of my windows today, I'm sure that someone came round about four weeks ago and put grey tinted film on my windows, as everytime I look outside it's grey!
Where has all the sunshine gone?
Wondered into a travel agents on Saturday, just pottering as you do, as I browsed the racks for a brochure on Germany and Austria, I over heard the travel agent say, "Right, that's your details entered, let's see what bargains our computer can find.. "
As if by magic, "Oh here we go, El Sheik in Egypt is great value at the moment..."
She then went on to reel off how she had been there, lots to see and do, lovely beaches, etc.
All complete bull of course, the couple gawped at a teletext screen with their gobs wide open in amazement. Another fool and their money...
(I went to Los Angeles once, specifically for a beach holiday - the travel agent said she had been to Annehiem several times and it was ideal for the beach and quiet - when we got there it was next door to disneyworld and over an hour through the city centre to the nearest beach.)

Top five jobs that happily tell you lies:

1. Estate agents
2. Travel agents
3. Car salesmen/women
4. Bank staff
5. Call centre staff (The one's who answer the phone first)

I think sprog2 and I will be getting rickets soon if we don't get some sunshine.
Wellington boots are the way forward, hoods up and splash city here we come!

Todays chores for those thinking my day is filled with nothing but fun - three loads of washing and drying to get done, hoovering out the front room (daily chore this), bathroom and the carpeted area (sounds posh but isn't) in the kitchen.
Two lots of washing up, Winburies and apples want putting in a pie and a crumble.
Sprog2 needs a bath, she's back in her own bath as she turned over in the normal bath and stopped breathing, frightened the life out of me (I also require my daily bath which will be grabbed when sprog nods off in her chair - which will not happen as it never does).
Sprog2 will also require feeding and changing at least four times today, as well as entertaining.
I have to pick a loaf up "whilst I am out" (even though I may not go out - which means I now have to go out) need some new collars for the moggies, I am hoping the market in the next town is open today as I need birthday and congratulation cards, I can pick the collars up there almost half the price of the supermarket ones.

Have to run now, another load of washing has finished and I can hear sprog2 starting to wake up... chow dudes
