    Hi all

    we seem to have gone a bit cold....is everyone ok and well. I have been manic as DH has been up to Liverpool again sorting out more junk in the old fellas house. I have therefore stayed at home with the kids. On Friday I was jiggeed as it was such a long day. Was all I could do to manage a glass of wine. Woke up bright and early on Saturday and did the usual library and shopping trip with the kids in tow. managed to do the weeks shopping on £45 YES £45 I did a menu plan and am using up all stuff in the cabints and freezer and it looks ok. I found a sizable joint of pork in the freezer that I bought a while ago in the butchers. By my reckoning should do main meals until Tuesday night. Kids are having chool dinners nd eat at the child minders so usually just breakfast and supper on a daily baisi for them.

    I have really got into this not wasting thing and it is most noticable in what I am throwing away....my bin is not very full at all these days.

    DH has now got back with a load of goodies including some silver spoons and nice rustic looking pots but best of all a fab belfast sink with matching base that will do brill for herbs in the garden.

    Any way wont keep going on and on hope you are all ok cant wait to hear from you

  • Hi griffam, I'm here! I was wondering where everyone was!

    A weeks shop for £45 is brilliant - well done you! We are also trying to use up everything in the cupboards this next fortnight just to save a bit more money and try and pay the CC's quicker.

    Have fun with the herbs in the garden! I'v always fancied the idea but never got round to it, anyway its chucking it down with rain here (bloomin yorkshire)!
    Are you going to do an SOA? Hope you enjoy your sunday, keep posting! x
