Friday Funding Fun

-


A frugal tiplet- The Works do lovely sets of 10 notelets for the princely sum of £1.99 plus another pack free. I've found them to be lovely designs and suitable for birthday cards. It's also worth checking in the charity shops to see if they have a box of assorted donated ones. Guaranteed a few dodgy 1980s geometric patterned ones and  sugar candy pink ones with thatched cottages and bluebirds only suitable for Great Great Aunt Nelly, but I've struck gold on many an occasion!

That in itself really isn't news. He has decided to buy himself a microwave, a toaster and a vacuum cleaner. Although his salary has increased with his recent promotion so have his necessary outgoings so he has to be mindful when spending. Only a couple of weeks ago I found out that there's a local house clearance company who are trying to improve the reputation of the business by not just throwing everything they can't sell into landfill. Instead they offer items within a specified area for free which you can ask for on their FB page.
