Your yellow sticker prices are remarkable. Good for you. I bet they get snapped up quick. Thank you for the lovely comments about my daughter.

I bet they will be delicious. <br />I love how you are able to participate in your daughters activities like band competitions. I bet she’s great. How do you do it all? <br />I wish I lived near you so I could get some one on one mentoring on our budget. Your savings put us to shame!! Lol<br />What NFL team is your fave?

I am planning to start a blog soon so that I can make a contribution but, in the meantime, to say thank you for the entertainment and education you offer, I thought I'd send you some pictures I thought you would enjoy. We had unexpected snow here in North East England and this poor postman was caught short:<br /><br />https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-east-news/snow-durham-today-uk-weather-15336944Heloisenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6965390616423292590.post-7056521908367941232018-10-29T09:27:02.326-06:002018-10-29T09:27:02.326-06:00Hi Dana!
I know I'm repeating myself but you ...Hi Dana!<br /><br />I know I'm repeating myself but you are a whirlwind. If I accomplished in a week what you accomplish in a day, I'd be so happy. My favourite part of Monday is eating my lunch at my desk and reading your roundup of the previous week.<br /><br />I *love* the picture of your daughter. She is so beautiful and she has such a bright and ambitious face: the world is that lovely girl's absolute oyster.<br /><br />I had a couple of frugal wins last week. Because of my working hours, I am rarely in the supermarket for "yellow sticker" reductions but yesterday I found myself in a Tesco (major UK food retailer) a few minutes before they closed. I made out like a bandit! Just a few scores: two organic chickens for 25p each, a turkey crown for 47p, 25 meatballs for 10p, a pound of mushrooms for 13p and two Romaine lettuces for 6p each! <br /><br />The other win was that a girlfriend and I decided to go for a glass of wine at the less expensive of the two pubs in our village. It's a longer walk but much less expensive. Anyhoo, as well as saving on our glass of wine, I found a book I have been so excited to read (but couldn't justify buying) in the pub's book exchange bin.<br /><br />On the downside, winter has appeared much earlier than I expected so I had to put the heating on before 1 November. And I decided to put my washing on the clothes line this morning since it's dry and windy. I had just done so when a seagull flew over (I live at the seaside) and left a "deposit" so I'll need to wash everything again.<br /><br />Some you win; some you lose!<br /><br />Anyway, have a brilliant week. <br /><br />Love,<br /><br />Heloise Xx <br />Heloisenoreply@blogger.com
