I am contemplating buying a slow cooker
Stardrops
More microfibre cloths at a decent price
Seeds - I have a greenhouse
Need to get well enough to use the cloths/stardrops - not been well and not cleaned for a couple of weeks
I have used my washing line more but I do live in Scotland!
I look for more reduced items and have shopped at Lidl/Aldi more
So I am using more of what I have and looking to save money a lot more - spent £100 less on food last month.An average day in my life:hello: :eek::mad: :coffee::coffee::coffee::T

Jailjouse Babe, I used to be one of those who hated gardening too, I left that to my XDH as he loved it, but when we got divorced and I was left with a 110 foot garden I had no choice. I did turn most of it over to grass the first year or so, now I have two large veggie patches, fruit bushes all down the fenceline and my greenhouse is about to go up tomorrow.Organised people are just too lazy to look for things

Already had a SC, used it mainly in the winter for stew but it has been used more now.
Bought an easiyo, which we love!
Looking at a BM but want to get the Pannasonic SD253 but will have to wait til August when I get my long service award from work, will ask for vouchers so I can put it towards one.
Now I have an oven (my old one was broke for about 18months) I have been baking things at least once or twice a week.
I also enjoy sharing ideas with people, by far for me one of my favourite things!It's nice to be nutty but's more important to be nice0 -

Since reading this board i've bought
Loadsa vinegar....for cleaning & to use instead of fab conditioner
Microfibre cloths...clean anything & everything with them if it sits still long enough!
Soda crystals...for mixing with washing powder
Stardrops.....for cleaning bathroom,kitchen & floors
Chest freezer....to store all my batch cooking
Slow Cooker...to make all my stews/casseroles etc to freeze in my new freezer!
Bicarb....loads of it to mix with few drops of essential oil & use as carpet freshener
Lentils....to 'bulk' out meals (wud never have thought of using these!)
Food Processor....to chop all the veg into teeny-weeny bits so i can hide it in spag bols/shepherds pies etc so the kids can't see them!
That's all i can think of at the mo!0 -

I hate gardening too! Infact even touching compost makes me angry! It all seems such a pain, even worse than housework. Leaves everywhere, twigs, things growing at such a rate they take over, nightmare.Grocery Challenge £139/240 until 31/01

I prefer gardening - being in the fresh air makes me feel so much better than being in a sweaty house doing irritating housework.An average day in my life:hello: :eek::mad: :coffee::coffee::coffee::T :rotfl: :rotfl: :eek::mad: :beer:
