    I'm so with you there make up, I have banned myself from going into any form of clothes shop, especially the cheap ones, I haven't got to the stage where I'm not quite tempted yet. I have to take temptation away!!!!

    Yay for being determined not to work so many hours :D. Thing is when you do, you're knackered & so cant be bothered to cook & then feel like you need a treat to reward yourself for having worked so hard ... a nasty visious circle :mad:.

    I do feel for you & those of us who live alone ( kids & cats dont cook :rolleyes:) & dont have James Martin hidden in a kitchen cupboard just waiting to whip up a fab meal, it's yet another chore to be done :( .

    Fire Fox's idea of slow cooker is a good one :T - think I'm more Control Freak than OCD though :o:rotfl: or if you can bear it how about preparing something simple over the week end that can then be stuffed in the oven or microwave.

    You will find a way that works for you. How much do you actually spend on food per month ? I dont want you to answer that on here, but just so you know & then you can work on cutting it down.


    You will find a way & we will all be here to support, encourage, advise you

    Happy New Week

    Lula

  • enjoy your new week honey, and keep smilling, you're doing brilliantly x

    Thanks Lula

    Point 1 - probably spend about £150 ish a month :eek:
    Point 2 - if I had James Martin in a cupboard it wouldn't be cooking I was whipping him out for :rolleyes:

    Point 1 - not that bad, but you could propbably cut it down to about £100 with some clever shopping, which would give you an extra £50 for overpayments :) without eating into treats budget.

    Point 2 - :heartpuls :rotfl: too true ;)
