The husband-elect and I just moved into a new apt over in Durham, and we’re trying our dead-level best to keep the moving expenses and random purchases to a minimum. I always forget how expensive moving can be! We’re doing our best to keep the entertainment budget to a minimum too – watching our old dvds, borrowing tv on dvd from family, actually reading the books off our shelves. I’m a junkie for booklists – what’s on your summer reading list this summer?

I love card games and used to play them all the time when I was a kid with my family.
Now i have rediscovered card games and have also found that they save me money in a rather unusual way. I play them with my partner when we go for a drink down the pub, but now we don’t buy so many drinks during the veing as the games slow the drinking down.

So a great tip is when going out to have a drink with friends etc, take a pack of cards, you will have lost more fun and spend lots less.

Oh my gosh, I can so relate to the love of reading. I hate to confess, but I spend quite a bit on books, usually in big chunks. Most I can get from the library and back in our frugal days, discovered new authors who I am now a fan of, but books are definitely my weakness. At the moment, I have roughly 25 books on my to be read stack and that’s not counting the ones I’m on the waiting list for at the library.

Give me a book, pretty much any kind of read, and I am a happy camper.

Take care, stay cool.
