Nope I'm here too but need to go to bed - forgot to set the alarm this am & overslept :eek: Discovered why I can't trust myself to go shopping - after 4 NSDs went to Mr Ms & spent my entire weekly budget of £32......AND I forgot the onions:mad: So an NSD for me today; for dinner had leftover chilli with a bag of white & wild rice found in the cupboard. Despite being welllllll out of date it is very nice, tasted all the better as I'm not sure I could afford it these days! Also had HM pittas, HM mango chutney & even home grown salad leaves, they must be saving me a fortune. Also made choc n orange muffins - I have a fruit bowl full of sorry-looking oranges & am desperate to use them up before they go foisty.
Tomorrow should be a NSD & we get to eat out :T for free tomorrow evening - always a good meal there too even if our team will lose - there's always the excellent buffet!
