I really enjoy reading about all your savings and frugal doings. :) That bed, with everything included was quite the deal! I'm seriously impressed with your savings for the week.

We have only ever had used mattresses and they have been really comfortable, so I would definitely keep and eye out for that. I'm glad the weather has cooled down for you there. We are keeping warm with lots of blankets and hot chocolate. School work has been done snuggled on the couch as well. Our original plan was to build pallet bed bases for both the teens, however uniform pallets are quite hard to find around here and we would need 2 of the same size. I love pallets and we have made raised garden beds with them in the past. Have a great week! xxMelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535442579149449469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574030825306493581.post-20880149970306941342016-08-09T15:44:50.124-07:002016-08-09T15:44:50.124-07:00I meant to say soft books :)I meant to say soft books :)Precious People Preschoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02284398084100195331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574030825306493581.post-35856278438918793952016-08-09T15:43:46.262-07:002016-08-09T15:43:46.262-07:00Hi Mel,

We have been watching for a bed here in California and it is about $1,000<br />just for mattress. We do not want our sprayed with the fire retardent (fermaldihide Sp?) I think I might start looking into used. I hope you are having a wonderful week.<br />It has finally cooled off here today. So no AC. The soft are wonderful.<br />have a great week and stay warm.<br />Patti <br />PS I saw some bed frames made from pallets on PinterestPrecious People Preschoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02284398084100195331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574030825306493581.post-73807561432755454462016-08-09T04:09:17.695-07:002016-08-09T04:09:17.695-07:00Hi Janine,

We are currently looking for a bed base for Mr 14 after getting a free mattress and can't find one for under $50! My daughters room is quite small, however she hides most of her stuff in her built in robe ;)I will definitely post pictures of the quiet book when its done. I was worried about how long it would take so mine is pretty basic. xxMelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535442579149449469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574030825306493581.post-9611185057680005432016-08-09T03:28:02.460-07:002016-08-09T03:28:02.460-07:00Hi Mel,

Your daughter's room looks great (and a heck of a lot tidier than I remember my daughter's room at the same age).<br />I'll be interested to see your quiet book when it's finished. I made one for my DGS(2.5yo) last Christmas and need to make one for his sister (1yo)for this coming Christmas. I grossly underestimated the time it would take last year, so I really need to get started soon.<br />Thanks again for your blog - I've bookmarked it now.<br />Janine<br />Janinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13540554274755499923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574030825306493581.post-14569368958590688292016-08-07T19:40:58.438-07:002016-08-07T19:40:58.438-07:00Dear Annabel,

It was such a great bargain and in fabulous condition too. The bed is so comfy and warm from the underlay, my daughter has been a bit slow in getting up for work. Absolute coincidence my hubby knew the lady, yes. And funny because he was complaining because it was a 1 hr drive away, but I convinced him it was an absolute bargain at $30! Your pudding is delicious and not to sweet, which we like. I'm so glad you've had some sun! It is pouring down here as I type and it will continue to rain all week apparently. There was a few hours of sunshine on Saturday and I rushed to get all our jumpers and sheets on the line. I will have to keep an eye out for some woolen blankets here too. xxMelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535442579149449469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574030825306493581.post-74965727015742962572016-08-07T17:17:00.249-07:002016-08-07T17:17:00.249-07:00Dear Mel,

And just a wool underlay is almost $200 I know because this is something my daughter wants and I went looking at them at Spotlight! So that whole package is worth such a lot. What a handy coincidence that the lady knew you! <br />When winter is freezing and things are dark and miserable that pudding is a cheer up meal. We had it twice this winter and I have a spare in the freezer (although I haven't frozen one before so Im not sure how it will thaw out and heat... but hey Ill give it a go!)<br />We have had some sunshine! I even finally got my op shop pure wool blankets washed up and on the line. They came up so soft and smell beautiful... I used that homemade wool wash. It is so good. They are soft and fluffy. <br />Have a very good new week. With love Annabel.xxxAnnabelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09027539528156492413noreply@blogger.com
