    Evening everyone,

    Just popped in to update catch up on the thread.

    NSD today.

    HM sweet and sour pork with rice tonight and enough left to freeze for a lunch for OH when i'm at work.

    Made a lemon and banana cake while the oven was on as well. Trying to save electric;)

    Oh forgot to say on sat when we went to boots, they had fusion bades on offer, 4 blades plus free shaving gel for £7.99. OH grabbed a couple as he swears by this razor ever since i got him a free one from the "freebies board" a while ago.

    Not sure if that will help anyone but OH asked me to post it.

    Hi Jackk,

    As your thread about having more food since joining the grocery challenge has dropped off the front page of Old Style, I've added it into the GC thread so that everyone there can see how much food you have left over at the end of the month.

  • Hi all
    Thank you for all of your support.. you've all been amazing!!! Lovely PM from BigMummaF for me when I got home.
    yes I'm head of a pre-prep & an infant teacher...plan to give up the management after next year.... too stressful, a thankless role.
    Class teaching is my love.. I think children are just wonderful and the best part of the job is watching them grow.

    Well got through the day. Saw the woman a couple of times but just ignored her. Some colleagues very supportive.
    My equal in main school has listened to both of us and hasn't said too much, except that she supports me but can't take sides (by that I think her loyalty is more with me).
    I'm just proud of myself for standing up to the woman because she's a lose cannon/bully who shouldn't really be around children if she can't keep her temper. In fact she shouldn't take her pay if she can't be dignified and professional

    NSD today.

    Keep up the good work everyone!!!

    Hi everyone. A NSD for me today as I was out all day. Tonight I used up some eggs and mushrooms and had cheese and mushroom omelette. Very nice one of my favorites. Should be a NSD tomorrow. Have a good evening everyone.

  • Hi

    Please count me in. I joined in for the first time last month and realised I just didn't know how much I was spending on food. Target was 200 euros and I spent 250.

    Please put me down for 240 euros starting on 1st July

    Thanks for organising this
    December Grocery challenge 300 euros for me and half a person (OH only here at the weekend)
    so far 20/300. And a little extra (not calculated yet) for some nice things at Christmas.
