Hi curlygirl, I admire your restraint, doubt I would have settled for beans on toast with the lure of a takeaway that close. Hope you managed to pick up some of BigMumma's suggestions in time.

Hope tonight's dinner is a bit better x

Yes it was!

I did have BB on T last night.....BigMummaF's suggestions were good (gosh she's resourceful) but unfortunately no cheese/eggs.....the fridge was bare of everything except milk, jam and butter. But I did like the idea of using frozen veg with pasta and cheese (if I have it in next time I forget to provide for evening meal!)

Not a NSD for me today. It was a planned spend for a rescheduled birthday-takeaway from earlier in the month which had been cancelled due to snow. It was for a pal who is recently single again and she is the mum of two small children - so she's had a pretty rough time and isn't likey to get out much in the near future. So as much as I dislike spending money , tonight it was money well spent.

Planning a NSD tomorrow but am cutting it fine...........!

Aww shucks..t'was nuttinn mach
I do the veg thing with couscous too nomm-nomm-nomm; there's some good bits in the grocery challenge recipes & there's a site where you can put in the ingredients you have & it suggests things you can make with them..:think: it might be on the grocery challenge front page too *goes off to have a look-see* Nope, not there..balooga I can't remember the name either, so if you don't get there first, I'll ask on the grocery challenge for you if you like.

No 12 for me today with four more days left in the month it will be a struggle to have 3 of them as NSD!
I will need to get milk at least before the weekend

Found it! I knew I'd seen it somewhere It's called COOKING BY NUMBERS & although I've not used it myself, I've heard it's pretty good.

Thought I'd had another nsd but me muvva had an appointment at the hospital this afternoon & I bought the tea :doh:Never mind, it was a bit nippy around the nether-regions by the time we could leave, & she had been a good girl & let the nice doctor-man look in her eyes [can't have a lollypop cuz she's diabetic!] :rotfl:

Managed to get through today without spending anything so achieved my 12 days as i hoped to do. Really pleased with myself. Keep up the good work everyone!

Doh! I spent yesterday and today (having a bit of a carpy time so bought my lunch yday and some lucozade and painkillers today)

Soooo that means I'm not going to meet my extended target of 25 (did make my original 15 though :j)

Going to try and get at least a couple more in before the end of the week, will see how it goes!

Thanks BigMumma, will go and take a look over there..

No NSD for me today, as had to pay my cc bill (groan...) but paid a bit more off this month cos I haven't spent so much elsewhere due to this thread :j.

Well done everyone, keep going, 4 more days to make your targets (or exceed them in a lot of cases).

Hugs all round

PS: Just off to sign up for Feb now, see you all over there
