The colours of the outfit are perfect for autumn, you look great.<br />Jealousy...no,don't have that ..even when we tell people (and they laugh) we do not have TV (we have an old set just for watching videos), I do not have a cell phone or any other fancy gadget. Our stereo is kaput except for the radio...no need to get rid of it if the radio works, our furniture is covered with cheap throws to hidee the rips..Who cares, we are happy even with with our leaky roof,no central heating,single pane windows,and 13 cats dashing around the place. More money would make us more comfortable , but no happier, that comes from within.<br />Jane xxJane and Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08102086552682194819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-86219903191378842682011-10-14T13:14:42.751+01:002011-10-14T13:14:42.751+01:00By the way, Ilona I forgot to say that you have my...By the way, Ilona I forgot to say that you have my Mother's carpet in your house! The one you are standing on with the classy clothes on. I would recognise that blue and gold pattern anywhere. My Dad has just replaced it but she had it for years. I still remember our cat walking in the room for the first time after it was laid and jumping back in shock when she saw it haha. Cats may only see the world in black and white but they can still see bold patterns and it was so unlike the one that was on the floor when she went outside a couple of hours before. Just goes to show that you have a quality floor covering which lasts for years and years, very frugal:-)Saving Pounds in the UK!https://www.blogger.com/profile/06931253782398740138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-15469704150504498852011-10-14T13:13:23.729+01:002011-10-14T13:13:23.729+01:00Another great post.

We all of us, in the first world, have such a lot of stuff,we have untold wealth and limitless ingenuity. We should all count 10 good blessings each day. We dont need to spend,we just need to appreciate what we have.

Your fashion shoots though have really been the cherry on the top, I love seeing what you can wear next, though with your figure you could wear a flour bag and look good.<br />Your blog is very inspiring and a real dose of commonsense, so thankyou for taking the time every day to cheers us lurkers up.kealohanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-68475582395948771672011-10-14T13:07:04.542+01:002011-10-14T13:07:04.542+01:00Wow, I can't believe I won the raffle ticket! ...Wow, I can't believe I won the raffle ticket! Will have to wait patiently now, won't I. The outfit looks really classy, you will look amazing at the wedding party if you wear that! Putting the price on the tins, I have thought of doing that several times but wasn't too sure because if my children see 50p they will probably think, 'oh, she only paid 50p for that, it's cheap so it won't matter if we use it all up'. They seem to think differently than me but they are sometimes impressed like when I got my youngest Daughter a Night Garden duvet set for £3 in the charity shop and a Spongebob sponge cake for £2.40 it was yummy and lasted several tea times (you are welcome to read all about it and see my photo's if you look on my blog). I know what you mean about jealousy Ilona, it is hard to parent children who watch their friends being suffocated with expensive gifts while they have a frugal Mum (Mean Mum they think) but I have to be who I am and am a product of my parent's upbringing so I just can't bear to spend all that money on labels. Never mind, winning the draw ticket cheered up my day just like Eric and Ernie did!

I'm off this morning to look for some £1 jeans for husband in charity shop, he tears them just to the left of the right back pocket, getting up into his old jeep. He never used to do it with his old van, bring it back! <br /><br />I've just given away two pans to a nice guy who I've given paving flags and sand previously. He asked for a large pan on Freegle. As I needed some space I offered him them. The young man hasn't collected the duvets and towels yet but he will probably do so next week. <br /><br />Are you going to be on the next Superscrimpers?Campfirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06573797205145907726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-74546073174418606372011-10-14T12:21:06.000+01:002011-10-14T12:21:06.000+01:00Well done with your radio stint!

You are certainly unique in that you do not keep up with the Joneses. And good on you for keeping your priorities well in prospective. That`s why you have a life style any other pensioner now would wish for themselves. You can go on walks/trips when you feel like it and still live a very good life.<br />That scetch is funny. Have you seen their breakfast routine? I love that!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09114653674812242486noreply@blogger.com
