    Wow- you were productive last night.
    Mince can be bulked out with soya and/or lentils. Old style board definitely worth a visit for that.

  • Hi Missy.

    :rotfl: The lord works in mysterious ways! Your lights all went out to force you to go to the garage to be near the freezer to do your meal plan!! :D
    Im well impressed with all those meals - you really are little miss domestic. Im useless with a capital U at cooking! I am trying though and DF says Im getting good but I dont believe him. :) You have inspired me to try more things.
    :T

    Well good also that its all in £50! Result. ;)

    Good luck with NSD challenge

    Morning everyone, will definitely go and have a look at the old style thread... re bulking out meals and cheap christmas ideas.

    Aww I bet you are good at cooking September, mine's more trial and error, but it's never been inedible.... I don't think!!

    Well I'm doing well on the weightloss/DFW things today, having hm roll and hm jam for my lunch, no chocolate!!!!! Going to my mums for dinner, so another free tea.

    Have decided to stay in the tea bar at work, as I probably have about 6 big mugs of tea and coffee with sweetner, and 2 pints of squash a day and two biscuits, and it's only £5, I think if I were to buy the stuff to make it myself it would probably come to a similar amount.

    How is everyone today??

    Oh you'll all be pleased to know I don't look like the tango man now, my sunburn has finally gone down!!! Although everyone keeps asking me if I've been on holiday as I'm tanned!!! My bum is still sore though although not in need of a rubber ring today!!

    Speak soon

    although I'm feeling really positive it is also really difficult today, we've all just been paid and the girls in the office are going onto dorothy perkins sale website, and there are so many thinks I want and can't have..... :-(

    Well at least you know we'll all be proud of you if you hold out!
    I still find the hardest thing is determining if I really need something or want it. It's difficult to stay away from the shops to avoid temptation but even harder when epople are surfing the web in front of you.

  • I know exactly how you feel, I went shopping with a friend last week and stood in the changing rooms while she tried on loads of dif clothes, queued with her, and what did I do - nothing :(

    But I know it will be worth it, maybe we should start some icentive thing - start a pot labelled "ME" and put whatever we can or want in it, some might decide to collect coppers, or 5ps, or 50ps etc and when we've hit a milestone whether it be clearing a debt, or reducing it by a significant amount we can empty the pot and buy something with it, may be clothes, may be a book, may only be enough in it for a big galaxy choc bar but at least its somethig for us!
