Mooooving Into 2010 - Bovine Adventures In Budgeteering!

Right, into my slow cooker I have put:

1 chopped onion
1 chopped carrot
Some mushrooms
Half pint of lamb stock (From cube, as I am lazy!)
Gigot of lamb

I have slathered the lamb with Italian herbs and garlic and it smells divine. It's in the slow cooker on high just now and I will turn it down to medium when I return from the shops. The bones shall be used to make soup once Doctor Who is finished tonight. WOO WHO!

7pm BBC1. Plan here is to put tatties on at six, eat like pigs and then bask in front of Dr Who for an hour.

Mr Fresian shall then be released back to the internets to fight the zombie apocalypse while I shall do something similar (Watch X Factor!!)

Click me for gigottage!

Time for another quick update.

Dinner smells amazing. I've been to Pets At Home (Two bags of cat litter and a massive lot of cat food bought) and Morrisons. I spent less than £30 in Morrisons which I was very impressed with. This should mean that I am under budget again this month (Cat stuff exempted)

Had a high tea with my friend - she who is kind enough to drive me to the supermarket - in Morrisons which is sandwich, tea and MASSIVE scone for £1.99 each. Om nom nom.

Now lacking in motivation to do anything...

Many things have now been promised to Music Magpie - £14.23 worth to be exact, and hopefully the 10% Quidco will pay out too

Now, to Ebay...!

While I remember, are any of the lovely people from here going to the Festive Fling in Edinburgh in December? I know pointypenguin is, but is anyone else thinking of going along?

Morning all!

I was quite proud of everything I managed to do yesterday. I will make over £14 from Music Magpie and also have 10 items listed on Ebay. None have bids yet but three have watchers, so here's hoping!

Money Update

Spends = £85
PAD = £0
Groceries = £3.62 :eek::eek:
Entertainment = £20.55 (Assuming I don't spend this it's getting rolled over to December where undoubtedly more socialising will happen!)
Purse = £6.02

There are 7 days until payday :eek:

Glad you got your moneybox!

I'm going to the meet too... as long as I don't chicken out... it feels horribly scary somehow! :eek:
