Any takers today....?
Mine are thin on the ground:
Got lift home from work (saved bus fare)
Took HM lunch (as always...scraping barrel here)
Found 4p on the side of the road!!! (2 x 2p pieces - odd!)
Have done some washing to hang out, it is very windy so saving electric = no tumble dryer.
I hope everyone else has had a better day than me....

Mine are equally thin on the ground
Printed off a pocketmod thing for my expenses in Scotland next week-need to keep a tight reign on them
Got my friends ironing to do £7.50-£10 earned
Pulled out the weeds where my tomato plants are going
Feeble lol0 -
Not much unfortunately. Spent money which never helps! But not as much as I normally would considering it was pay day friday!
Did manage to get up super early due to electrician coming round, did washing up in that time, had a good breakfast for once too!
Off to make myself some dinner now! Completely out of the cupboard!Wealth is not measured by currency0 -

Made pasta with a tomato sauce for tea, OH is working late and will stop up buying a takeaway :j Made enough for him to take to work tomorrow for his lunch too. Save him buying something from work. Ummm, that's about it :rotfl:0

Not spent money :rotfl:
boiled up a load of lentils to make something for packed lunch tomorrow
printed some su dokus off the web instead of buying a paper for the commute
wrote a letter to CC to request refund of what I consider an unfair charge0 -
It's all a bit thin on the ground today! :exclamati
Never mind let's hope for a better day tomorrow.
Scholt...if you can take soup in a flask for packed lunch then I have the most easy peasy spicy lentil soup recipe (got it off the back of a box of Kallo stock cubes!) and it is yummy!
Here it is or perhaps have it for another day:- Soften a chopped onion, a diced carrot and a stick of celery in 2tbsp of vegetable oil for 5 minutes.
- Then add in 150g of red lentils and 1 litre of stock.
- Add 1tsp of cumin and 1 tsp of coriander (I used dried/chopped).
- I also added a pinch of salt and some pepper to season.
- Simmer for 20 minutes then whizz up in the saucepan with a stick blender.
Makes LOADS!
Also, when I made it I had run out of celery so I substituted it with some white cabbage I had left over...it really was delicious. My boyfriend loved it as well.Bank Balance: In the black for the moment.

what a star - thank you!0 -
Not much for me:
- didn't spend anything today as was at work
- have stuck to my meal plan so hopefully no waste at the end of the week
- had a quick tidy up and filing session
:heartpuls CG :heartpulsEver wonder about those people who spend £2 apiece on those little bottles of Evian water? Try spelling Evian backward.0
