absolutely riveting stuff!good luck with the exam! just looked at the date of your post - its probably all over now, but good luck anyway!
I'm just updating the recipe list, and will carry any new ones I find over to the June challenge.
I haven't added up anything that I've spent this month, but been very little so I must be still way under budget; I'm simplifying my store cupboard and using up quite a bit.
see you all on the June thread!
Congrats to rachelmk, well done!!!
sashanut, hope you're feeling better soon
Congrats to boodle... don't throw the string away. You always need string!

Tis a lil pink Boodleite, and very delish she is tooEverything is going fairly smoothly and happily so far so have nipped on here a couple of times during the lulls - gotta keep up with the grocery planning and shopping otherwise it would drive me mad not knowing what I was going to make for dinner every night or not being able to find anything to munch in times of snack-attacks, etc! DH and eldest DD are out shopping now as we type
Love and compassion to all x0 -
Declaring at £158.88 :T:T:T- well under budget so pretty pleased with myself! Spent another £9.50 in Aldi and Lidl on fruit & vegs and some cleaning stuff, since last weekend and still have quite a few meals in the freezer to last us until we go on hols a week today so hoping the June budget of £100 will see us through when we get back.
Will be bringing home lots of lovely Greek treats (out of holiday budget of course) like olive oil, olives,herbs and ouzo!0 -
