Morning All :hello: Thanks SM
Yesterday I popped into Sainsburys and was horrified to see that they had stolen SM's mantra and not acknowledged her authorship :eek: :eek: How very dare they. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle - I always mention her name when quoting that.
Anyway today I have/will:- been to the gym to use membership and used their hot water & toiletries etc.
- made banana & chocolate bread in the BM, with very elderly chocolate spread - tastes a bit odd, but I was given some over-ripe bananas and didn't have any golden syrup

- Having it for brekkie at work with a cup of tea (can't eat before the gym
) - out to lunch today with a posh friend who loves to slum it at the local caff - egg & chips mmm

- store cupboard supper
- try and germinate some more of my cheap seeds. I only paid 10p a packet for these ood seeds last October, however if none of them germinate there'll be no saving.

- signed up for THREE mystery shops tomorrow evening :j
