Flowery bargains always make me happy as well :)
Your dogs are gorgeous! And your dining room table looks brilliant, I'd be very proud of that transformation :)
Real shame about your freezer. I'm going to be keeping an ear out for those buzzes and clicks now! I also wonder if a breadmaker is going to be a good idea for us but there's got to be a limit on the amount of gadgets I can accumulate, as there's only so much counter space available :)
I think buying things in bulk is definitely thrifty when you know it's something you'll use in the future. And spending a small amount on the nails is better than spashing out on the acrylics just to get the same result of not liking them! I always keep short nails for the same reason :)
I understand this... there are so many mixed feelings going on inside you when it gets to this stage! I think I've been going through it very slowly for a while as it's not quite here yet but I can see it looming. Ah...
First of all, "bargainous" is a brilliant word! Well done on the packed lunches, I'm having a real go at mastering it now as it saves so much money. The fabric dyeing looks brilliant as well, I've been meaning to try the turmeric dye for so long and still haven't got around to it.
I think I've figured out what to do with all my Tesco Clubcard vouchers thanks to this! We never ever go out to eat, but I think with the conversion value this might be the best thing for us to do as a (very frugal) treat in future, thanks for the tip!
I think the washi tape was my favourite too - but finding the manicure stickers was a great money saver! I'm all for a bit of DIY wherever I can :)
The notebook is fantastic - I've been interested in bookbinding and artists' books for years, but it's a rabbit hole that's too dangerous for me to jump into! I really want to start making some of my own though. The subway pass is a great idea, it's the preparation that makes the difference in making trips like this run smoothly and not be too expensive!
I love transformations like your little table, it really shows how applying a bit of creativity can pay off far beyond a piece's monetary value! And it was great that you could get a bit of peace of mind for a low price with wiring in your oven. I wouldn't trust the hard sell either ;)
