Have made spicy celery soup with - celery,carrot,onion,potato,chicken stock,garlic,chili,s & p.Mostly needed using up.Given a portion to neighbour and have had some for my lunch and enough for 2-3 portions in the fridge for the rest of the week

Kids had HM pizzas on sliced HM bread rolls as they were a bit doughy and I wasn't going to throw them.Tomorrow they are having them toasted with an egg on top.

For tea we are having HM Baked Bean Chili and Rice from the freezer or Chicken and Roasties......will make double yorkies and freeze half.

Have found a great container to put in my HM Pork and Apple Meatballs to freeze before next weeks mayhem of visitors start....So will do them in the next couple of days as I like to be well organised.

Have Twinks,cinnamon biscuits,yoghurt,fruit,milk,bread for the next couple of days - will try to stay out of the shops.

Have told the kids they can share a fish and mushy peas on Friday as a treat,I'll do b&b and a load of chips and ketchup like the good Mummy I am!

Raining again today so my veggies are watered.

Have played Monopoly and have draughts on for later - great****

Hi all
Quick post from me as off to attempt Mrs M's hm tortillas for lunch- thanks so much for the clickys post Angelnikki has made a difference this month!

Have done a weeks shop at tesco online and it's over £100:eek: thanks to my mums special requests for week away with them, need to go through it and see what i can cut but some more things to add too. Definitely underestimated what we could get away with this month

Next month should be better although we are away again- this time with a family on a more similar budget to us than my mum!!

On a positive note even the overspend I am expecting this month is NOTHING like what was being spent at the beginning of this year thanks to all you lovely people :T

Ifonlyitwaseasier - just a thought, but in future you could grate your cheese before you freeze it? I always grate my cheese as it seems to go way further if i do.
