We decided on the entry wall!
This Apartment Therapy Cure has made us more conscious about all the unfinished projects around the house, and the entryhall was a tough one for us. After much thinking we decided not to paint for now. It’d be a waste (in our frugal opinion) to cover perfectly good, clean and nice paint so soon. Maybe [...]
Dos and Don’ts of the No-Spend End of the Year
I know we haven’t been so good reporting about our No-Spend End of the Year, but we have been very good practising it! It’s been over a month now, and we’re 100% on track. I won’t lie, it hasn’t been an easy month. Not at all. But in some aspects, it has been easier than [...]
Motionless
I’m slow today. Slow working, slow blogging, slow everything. Because I can’t move from the sofa. The reason is too private to share (nothing exciting, but nothing you’d want to hear anyway). But whatever, I just got a frugal haircut I wanted to share. Ok, just new bangs. Here you have a before shot. And [...]
Good bye, wonder car!
We said goodbye to my car yesterday. It was sad, but right (and green! and frugal!).
My dad bought it second hand and used it as a taxi (my dad owns a taxi company) before giving it to me. I’ve had it for about 3 years now, and I’m not going to be its last owner, [...]
NSEOY Update Oct 08
If you don’t know about it yet, we’re doing a no-spend end of the year experiment. And we had not-so-good news yesterday about how we were doing but today…
Yay! One full day without any money spent… aren’t we great? We’re trying like crazy to compensate for the last few days… Now, tomorrow we’re leaving to [...]
NSEOY - Update.
So, as you all know, we’re doing a No-Spend End of the Year and we were doing quite well with it. We were.
We’ve been bad, ladies and gentlemen. Yes we have. We spent over 17€ on Saturday on food for our Sunday guests. We fed them. Oh, how we fed them! This is what our table [...]
Meatballs from scratch
Well, here comes the meatballs from scratch post. As we anticipated in previous posts, we have been trying out my mum’s recipe for meatballs. In our be-frugal frenzy, this seemed like the right way to do it, so we headed down to the grocery store and came back with all we needed. Meat. We already [...]
Recipes in our “To Try” list
We’re going to write a post for this, since we don’t trust our memory (or GTD skills) and we really would like to make them and share with you what comes out.
Recipes to try in October:
Orange-Almond Lace Cookies - We really want to start baking and we thought about this recipe because it looks so [...]
Youngsters saving money.
Keeping up with our super frugal 3 month plan is not going to be easy. Not after my cell phone bill (I’ve been in 4 different countries last month), the TV crash, the vaccuum death, the school year starting (I’m on language school for both French and German and Eric and I are getting this [...]
