Hello everyone,

still like Narnia outside but warm and cosy in my home. Having quiche for lunch today, using up freezer food.

Plan to clean fridge today and organise any food/jars which need used up which are lurking in there.
Still haven't spent anything this year but will have to buy milk and bread tomorrow. Although there might be some bread in freezer, will have to check that first.

Planning to use some of my stores this month. Will only be tempted to buy "too good to miss" offers.

First spend of the year of £11.81. Got 2 for £5 on pork mince for making bolognaise / chilli. Some potatoes for baking and 2 for £3 on cheese. Caught up on all the posts last night and suddenly fancied baked potatoes with butter & cheese!! :rotfl:

I'm feeling really positive about sticking to the GC this year. I've no option really, must tighten belt drastically.

Have a good Sunday!
