Thanks Nomoneymummy for your recipe. I'll definitely be trying that next time.
Tonight's tea was savoury mince which I cooked in the SC all day with a couple handfulls of oats as usual. I put half in the freezer for another day and tonight we had the other half with sliced potato on top. Very tasty.
NSD number 3 for me today and probably another one tomorrow as I work all day.
Some good news - just been offered 10 hours (2 evening shifts) in a local supermarket for 3 months. I'm probably going to be shattered as I already do 20 hours during the day in a school but the extra money will be VERY useful.
Wishing everyone lots of luck with the challengeMortgage Free in 3 part 2 challenge - pay off £9000
Sealed Pot Challenge 416 - target £5000 -
£5.50 for me today!
£3 on fresh lovely sausages on the way home as kids begging for hot dogs today!
£2.50 for hot lunch - I know it's not very moneysaving but only work one day a week and planned to have a jacket potato today - but they had none left! took my filling from home (doing WW and needed to know how many points) so had the cheapest hot option!
Will try EXTRA hard to have a NSD tomorrow - have lots of milk, bread, fruit & cheese so don't actually neeed anything0 -
£15.56 in MrT's today buying a few top up items:heartpulsOnce a Flylady, always a Flylady:heartpuls0

Went to Sainsburys today as found a lovely duvet cover on their site and hoped to get it, but they didn't have any left
Now need to decide whether I want to pay for delivery...grr.
Picked up a few bits, but hardly any 'food'. Got some bread rolls and had one for lunch, some shampoo and conditioner (Herbal Essences on offer, i'm stopping using cheaper S&C as it's ruining my hair), some shaving gel and Sainsburys magazine as I always read it when I go and see my sister. £6.67 spent, but only 65p on 'food'! Will include the whole figure in my total though and see how it goes.Grocery challenge - Nov: £52/£100

Mr T spend, no whoopsies or anything. £30.67. Still need to add the weekends receipt, think they're about £15. Nothing else to report. Just realised I'm only on day 9!!!It's what is inside your head that matters in life - not what's outside your windowEvery worthwhile accomplishment, big or little, has its stages of drudgery and triumph; a beginning, a struggle and a victory. - Ghandi0
