Its worth a go isn't it?

Itsarandom

85 pence - so not the end of the world.

Will also be walking home unless I end up buying far too much at Asda tonight (OH is visiting and while I personally can live on Porridge all weekend or tuna mayo pasta - he might get a little upset!).

Itsarandom

Target for Tonight:

Feed OH for two days - preferably buy meals I can join in on but can survive without!

Will need:
Dinner tonight - I have a stack of pasta at home, and magic homepride pasta bake - need a little bit of cheap ham and preferably cheese and a cheap garlic bread to go with it.
Brekkielunch - Sandwiches? Save some of the ham + cheese from night before and maybe a bit of chicken + the pitta breads I have at home...?
Dinner tomorrow am thinking for me I will have whatever is in the house, him am thinking some kind of micro-meal? Try my chilli again only thicker? That way I only need some more mince and a jar of magic chilli sauce or some kidney beans + spices.

Sunday Brekkie - am out the door ridiculously early and he gets the house to himself that day, so usually I grab a quick coffee and run as it is too early for me to eat!! He will be fending for himself... so will probably sleep throught to lunch
Sunday Lunch - I am still out! Will have my chilli/leftovers on me so I am fed! OH can have, am thinking, a micro-meal. He is less keen on cooking than I am
Sunday dinner - Fajitas? Means buying chicken Plus tortillas... generally expensive. Pick up a cheap pizza? Maybe Steak + chips as a treat?

Snacky things: He likes pepsi, crisps etc... gotta try and at least get him something... but I am also not wanting to buy any snacks I would eat - else I will

Aiming for expenditure: <£10. Wish me luck!

Can he not chip in and pay for some of it no?

Did you start volunteering wth the cat shelter?

Itsarandom

They never rang me back and haven't rung them back yet - going to ring them soon as i imagine now is there busiest time when pets at Christmas are not longer so appealing...

He can chip in for some of it - but he is also a student still and he has paid for all of his own train ticket to get here so I feel a bit responsible that while he is here I keep him fed. He sometimes buys me little bits here and there or takes me out for lunch/dinner when he is visiting so I also feel that its "even" almost! Although now I force him to choose places where we get 2 for 1 deals!

So dident realise you had to work on a Sunday.
Thought you were maybe at cat shelter.

Itsarandom

No, no no - not work on a Sunday - I go to a regular social group thang on a Sunday but OH doesn't like going so he stays at home and I head along

beanielou

Ah got you.
Sorry dident mean to be nosey.

Itsarandom

No nosiness at all just something I do on a Sunday to keep me off the streets

Things I have done:

1) spent a little bit too much this weekend... 19 pounds on Shopping but 4 quid of that was OH wanting randoms from tesco and 6 pounds was a new pair of jeans!! Finally some jeans at a reasonable price!
2) Today I managed to cut my walking time by 5 minutes!! :j:j Never managed to go faster than 3mph walking speed therefore 40 minutes to walk to work... today it has taken me 35!
3) Walking back out - hoping to make it about 35 minutes again but we shall see...
4) Got my loaf of bread in for the week - omnomnom!
5) I have two free samples of starbucks Via, I have won a free game on xbox live yesterday and won a free ipod touch/iphone game as well!

Thinking I should buy a lottery ticket if things keep going on up and up like this!
