Looking forward to laying everything out on the table, sticking some music on and enjoying an evening of chat and food with DH.

I love post-Christmas freezer feasts! Sounds like a blissful evening a penny picker upper. MFW approx 78% to go | FIRE 3 years worth (30% savings rate: now aiming for 40%!) | Normality is a paved road; it's comfortable to walk, but no flowers grow on it | Whatever you're meant to do, do it now.

Feast was great! Pity I was starting to come down with a cold.
The weekend was a bit marred by illness - I've felt carp and my Mum has been poorly (stomach bug we think) and took to her bed. Fortunately she's up and about now - hope she's over the worst.
I woke up this morning with stomach problems - got to work late and haven't had much to eat (just half a bowl of soup at lunch and I don't think that was a good idea).
Shopping came to just £15.23 for this week - should have to get anything extra now till Thursday.
DH deposited some money in our savings manually on Saturday - so need to check its gone in - but I will be adding £108 to my signature shortly.
This also means that MIL has paid back all the money borrowed from our house fund - but hasn't finished paying us back yet (though we are going to stop her in June and we will foot the rest - don't know how that will go down!)
Must get back to work - so off to update signature.
Tonight's tea is chicken stirfry (back late as have first charity meeting of the year).
Hope everyone is well.

No tea for me tonight. Really didn't feel like any - stomach still a bit off. So while DH has been cooking his, I did something constructive and got the minutes done from the charity meeting tonight.
Hope I am feeling better tomorrow - not like me to me off my food!
Maybe I have lost that couple of lbs though! lol.

Hi everyone and thanks for the get well wishes:o
Much better today, but still not 100% - taking it one meal at a time.
Mum is much better too and is up and around although her appetite hasn't really returned yet - hopefully won't be long.
We had cottage pie last night made from base mince mix from the freezer and frozen LO mash from Christmas day - it was a lovely comforting meal. DH had two portions, so decided I would have the LOs for lunch - lovely.
Still haven't been to the shops this week, so the mealplan is going well - even though we've strayed a bit I haven't had to buy anything.
Tonight will be a lamb chop dinner and might treat myself to a glass of wine? haven't had one since Friday (haven't felt like one :rotfl:)
Need to look up the meals for next week and plan my shopping list.
Also need to transfer money to my current a/c for what I spent on Christmas food - chances are it will go back again at the end of the month - but like to be straight.
Got to do MIL tax return this weekend - will be paying the bill for her and she's going to pay me back (should be some to pay on the PPI she's had); must look into the house insurance for her too as she's paying way too much.
Happy hump day everyone.

I think that if you can you should have some treats in January. Its a long month and the post Christmas blues get people down.
So, today (as we had no bread left after making DH his sandwiches) I am going to buy a sandwich. Will be a low fat one from subway.
Tonights tea is fridgeraiders risotto - ham, garlic sausage, mushrooms, onions, courgette and anything else I can find.
No real money news.
Hope everyone is well. I'm still improving, but still not quite there.

Oh dear, that did make me laugh. I thought you were going to 'fess up to a Mulberry handbag or something :rotfl:.
Hope you enjoyed it. A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort Mortgage Balance = £0
