    well am extra proud of myself, did a quick freezer inventory today to do my meal plan, all proud of myself cutting fown from £80 per fortnight to about £55 (by the time I add in extra bits and pieces that will crop up) started doing my meal plan and I have enough meals to keep me going (and quite easily) until the 8th of Feb so a month's food for the two of us (was my first shop of the year) for under £60
    How chuffed at myself am I (egotistical self praising post i know, but i am well proud)

    Such a lot of sadness on here; I just wanted to say that, although I've not been on much, I'm thinking of you all.
