March 2009 Grocery Challenge

OrkneyStar

Hi there,
MRSM (or Pink) can you take me off the annual totals ?
Want to be part of GC but going back to what I did last year and not posting totals. I count my own and I think that is enough for me.
Thanks for all you do ladies!x

JillD - That frittata sounds gorgeous :T . Funnily enough I have a dozen eggs not eaten by OH and FIL at the weekend with their bacon and sausage butties so I may well give that a try later in the week (when I have some sad looking veg lurking in the fridge ).

I've added £4.24 to my sig. My mum picked up some milk and fruit for me from MrM's whilst she was doing her shoppping yesterday. It's a big help as I'm getting really tired now and it also stops me from needless spending .

The SC lamb with lentils I did on Monday was ok, I wouldn't make it again, but I have loads leftover. So I'll be turning it into some sort of shepherds pie creation for tonights tea. I did have SP on my meal plan for tomorrow but think I might just try a frittata instead and potato wedges

Thanks Mrs M for changing me to Mommyof4!
Doing well this week so far, using my menu plan and not deviating at all! Haven't updated sig but have spent £29.40. Next shopping day will be Monday for me, as trying to shop a day late each week to get the free 8th week (what a good idea!).:j

Anyone opened an ING account online to get the free £20? if not anyone interested should be quick they could stop it at any moment. (thanks Martin!)

I got it from Netttos last night, although I may have paid over the odds at 99p :eek: but thought I'd get it while I can!

I got mine in Wilkos - 79p I think. It's wonderful! Just done the wooden floors in the lounge, d/room and hallway and the kitchen lino. Also did the windows in my bedroom yesterday - we have single glazed wooden windows and they get loads of condensation and black mould. Came up really well.

Still waiting for my milkman to come. Only started using him last week. First day he only delivered half a dozen eggs when I'd order a dozen, today he hasn't turned up at all! :mad:

Have a good day everyone.

Back from Asda now and although I spent £107.06 I have stocked up on tins, dried stuff, cleaning things & pet food so I'm very pleased. Saved £9 with multi buys on things that were on my list anyway (cereal mostly) and treated DD & I to a toffee cheesecake for lunch as there's only us here this morning Menu plan done I just need to type it out & put it on the kitchen cupboard.
