Not Going Out...But OK With It

This is my first frugal Saturday night in since I turned over my frugal leaf. LB is away this weekend, so I am indulging myself with a weekend doing exactly what I feel like...without spending any money.
 
Some of the best things in life can be frugal...I enjoyed a blissful lie-in this morning, starshaped in a bed all to myself. I am not telling what time I rose from my pit, but it was double figures! Bliss.
 
 

 
Then I treated myself to a blissful frugal fry up. No bacon, but I have vegetarian leanings anyway, so a couple of veggie sausages was perfect for me. This cost me a grand total of £1.15  (Eggs 32p, v. sausages 40p, mushroom 20p, tomato 10p ketchup 3p) and as I didn't have toast it was perfect without filling me up too much.
 
Then, I took myself and the little doggy out for a romp around the woods. I am very lucky to live on the doorstep of the Longleat estate - beautiful pine forests.
 

 

There is a schnauzer in there somewhere.

 

 

 

The sun was shining through the branches, birds were tweeting and there was that lovely forresty smell.

I came back after an hour in a great mood and feeling really blissed out.
 
Did several loads of washing which dried in no time in the sunshine, and got a sourdough loaf on the go. Then got my on-going project out... 
 

 

This is a quilt I started last year  - not very frugal as it uses rather expensive Scandinavian fabric (which I LOVE). However, I bought this years ago, so it won't cost me anything more than time now - making it a good frugal project.

 

 

And with the i-Player and a glass of wine (Lidl - surprisingly fine!), it is actually a really relaxing night in, with something to show for my efforts.

 

 

I really like the 'pinwheel' effect, although it is painstaking stuff as the blocks come out really small. My last quilt took me five years to finish - this may well be the same as I don't get a whole evening to do it very often. That's fine with me though.

 

Now I think I will retire to the living room to watch some gratuitous period-drama while I have the chance! A totally chilled out day and I didn't spend a penny - result.
