This Week's Frugal Tasks Saturday 5th November 2016

During the week I spent lots of time in the garden pruning, weeding,  feeding plants and doing a general tidy up.  My aim is to have everything neat and tidy before Summer hits.  Here's what else I got up to this week -

*  Poured the water from drink bottles into the watering can.

*  Dried the washing on the line and clothes horses.

*  Took up the hems of three pairs of work trousers for Darren.

*  Made a quadruple batch of laundry powder.

*  Sold two dozen eggs to our neighbour.  Another neighbour now wants to buy our eggs too.

*  Made a bottle of diluted Dynamo laundry liquid.

*  Ate leftovers for dinner one night ( we added a few extra things to make the meal complete )..  These leftovers were from a Cup Day bbq held at our place.

*  Collected a few paint swatch cards from the hardware store to use in card making.

*  Cleaned the dishwasher using bi carb and vinegar.  Cleaned the kettle using citric acid.

*  Refilled the kitchen detergent pump with diluted liquid.  I also put water in the empty bottle,  gave it a good shake and will use the contents for a couple of days.

*  Fed the compost bin with shrub cuttings

*  Used a $10 off coupon for Chemist Warehouse when you spend $50 or more.  I took this opportunity to buy hay fever tablets and eye drops that I desperately needed

*  Redeemed a $5 off  coupon for Telfast hay fever tablets
