Not much movement but I have meal planned for the weekMortgage, we're getting there with the end in sight £6587 07/23, otherwise free of the debt thanks to MSE help!0 -
It looks like everyone's supplies are going down slowly - it's looking good!
Today I've used up a beef burger (yellow stickered) and a small portion of HM 'healthy' chilli con carne, which was less than successful and has been sitting in the freezer for months while I tried to find the enthusiasm to use it.
I've also taken out a portion of BBQ-marinated pork slices for tomorrow night's dinner, and resisted the urge to look at the RTC shelf so nothing else has gone into the freezer.Back after a very long break!0 -
