    Well done on that big PAD.
    Chilli ready for breakfast! 6 good sized portions and I have put them all in the freezer as I have stuff to use up for tonight anyway. Normally that amount of mince would have done 2 portions so getting 6 is fab. Thank you again tomtombeanie for the recipe and to flying fresian for raving about it so much that I just had to try it out!
    PS Any more good slow cooker recipes for batch cooking and freezing gratefully received!

    All are welcome on the Fresian Express, new people have to provide virtual cake though :D

    Going to compose a proper update now methinks...

    Today was a NSD as I remembered to take flasks to work so no nasty coffee spends :D I tried to do this yesterday but the last person to use them must have been Mr Fresian as I couldn't open the bl**dy things :rotfl:

    I have a couple of spends to add to the Budgeteering Challenge, but my receipt is in my purse which is in the other room and I'm comfy and warm. I will update that tomorrow. The total feels like it's growing day by day and it's scary. I'm starting to think that £3,000 isn't that much money after all...:rotfl:

    Plans for the weekend

    Spend more sodding money! Going to buy (cheap) paint etc to decorate "spare" room

    Take best friend out for lunch for being nice enough to take me paint shopping as she has a car

    Collect Amazon parcel from the post office (Paid for with vouchers, I'm not cheating!)

    Go to movies tomorrow assuming the oncoming cold hasn't flattened me....

    Having fun trying to find drivers for my cordless mouse as I tried to play games and realised that it's set up to go backwards - if I try and move it right it goes left. Much swearywords...:D

    Another PAD to A&L today means that once my Orange bill comes off it will be sitting at £225.74 overdrawn. I think they start charging me for being overdrawn from November, so guess that's my new PAD target. *sigh*

    Well done on taking coffee to work and your NSD. Looks like your doing well on your challenge. Seems like you still have a life with it too which I think is very important.

    Did you sort your mouse yet?
