    Fixed the (handmedown) Switch controller that got dropped. Cents worth of solder & super glue. Works and can still be disassembled.

    The iron was bought but it gets used just enough to justify a nice one.

    I’m in Sydney, and my frugal goal of the month is to clear out the freezer, and make a trip to

    and bulk buy as much meat and other stuff as my freezer can hold. Prices look good, so hoping quality is OK too.

    (With apologies to any vegetarians).

    I got the chance to get to the op shop so I’ve bought some clothes, books, and some Buffy dvds. I think the best things were the lightweight natural fibre shirts.

    I’m trying to get my external drive working but if not I have my eye on a secondhand tv with dvd built in.
