    £11.50 withdrawn from BB and £12.40 withdrawn from TCB this morning.
    Feel really dizzy this morning which is wierd. I really wanted to have a good sort out, but it may be slow going.

    I didn't manage to get very much done in the way of ebay yesterday, DD was sniffly and clingy and I felt dizzy so not a productive day. I did manage to get some work done on my website though which is my big aim for next year.

    This morning I have put dinner in the slow cooker which is diced pork, veg stock cube and mushrooms. Later I'll turn the liquid into gravy and we'll have it with roast potatoes and veg. It worked really well last week with lamb so hopefully it'll taste nice with pork too.

    I cooked beef enchiladas last night and saved some for the freezer so that's a meal for work in the week. It feels like I have made a start now on my food issues so it's not so overwhelming.

    No wins yesterday on BB but I can't complain, haven't played yet today.

    The house is a complete pig sty and I think we're going to put up the tree later (when I finally get dressed),
    I also need to work out what presents are left to buy and get them bought so can work out finances.

    I'm not sure what I'm going to do when this offer has ended, it'll be such a shame. I withdrew another £10 this morning.

    I need to ebay, just not happening today. I don't think I have anything that I would put on for large money anyway so not missing out on the free listing too much.

    I have been looking at some recipes and hopefully got a couple of new ideas to try.

    Well done on BB, you seem to be doing really well, it's good you're trying to meal plan too. My mum is buying me a second freezer next week so I can cook meals in bulk and freeze them. My dad will eat a lot of veggie stuff but my brother won't usually, so I end up eating whatever I make for a few days on the trot. At least this way when I get back from work starving I can eat something healthy I've defrosted earlier rather than eating rubbish that's quick to cook.
    Finally bought a home

    I'm trying with the meals lol, don't feel as though I'm suceeding much. I was thinking about a second freezer, but until I have filled the first with meals from scratch I wont think about it seriously.

    My website is finally live, with lots of work to do, but the potential is great. I have the ideas just not always the know how and the time to carry them out lol. Link is in my profile if anyone fancies a gander ;)

    Off to cook the potatoes and veg for dinner.
