Frugal Fresian's 2010 Adventures

ClootiesMum

Morning missus,

Just been doing my farming & noticed Farmville has cowprint silos, barns & something elses for sale in the buildings - they're cool & once I raid the piggybank I might buy one

Thought you might want to know in case you hadn't seen them.

*waves at ClootiesMum*

I have seen those and have the cowprint silo on my farm - I think it's beside my windmill

I managed to get through the overtime ok today, but the diet is shot. More of that in a second...

I did four and a half hours of overtime today, taking the total due in my account next month to 25 and 3/4 hours :j That's about another £270 in my account (before tax etc sadly) and will help greatly in April. I get paid on the 23rd and we're in Newcastle on the 24th for the football - the overtime money will pay for the diesel and for us to have our dinner out, so woo to overtime! I am knackered, but you have to take overtime when you can get it at my work as it's never guaranteed sadly.

Diet-wise, things started poorly today as it was the weekend and I wanted tasty food, being mightily sick of Special K. I had fried egg on toast (om nom nom!) which was awesome. I was going to have lunch at home, but then pizza was suggested at work, so I had some pepperoni Pizza Hut goodness instead.

Myself and Mr Fresian had always planned to go for a tootle today, so we headed down the coast, avoiding the tourist eek-ness of North Berwick and heading to Dunbar instead, where we found a particularly nice chipshop :o I have had narry an item of fruit nor veg today, and do you know what, I don't really care. It's been a good day!

I am only 16 calories over todays allowance :A but sadly 16.9g of fat over allowance :rotfl: I shall try my very best to be good tomorrow. Honest!

Plans for tomorrow are loosely revolving around supermarkets (Aldi's offer this week is mainly on fruit which could be good in terms of the healthy eating as it includes apples, grapes and pears, which is awesome. I'm not eating the kiwi fruit though, even if it is on offer....they're like hairy green scrotums and the thought of them gies me the boak. *shudder*) I also want to go and see How To Train Your Dragon which is only on in 2D on weekend afternoons.

Hope everyone else is having a lovely weekend.

Xx

Love the kiwi description...and the texture is that hard boiled egg density loved by testicular experts (it was in a doctor's leaflet honestly).

Ex-husband called me to complain that small boy - 18mths at the time - wouldn't eat kiwi fruit and I had said he likes it.

I replied that he happily eats with me.

Well, he retorted, he spits the hairy bits at me!

Morning F_F

Glad you all had a good & healthy day yesterday. Fish is good for the brain & chips are good for the soul.

Enjoy the shopping - although ClootiesDad who works in Mr A's shop is just away to work muttering things like - it's a nice day so it'll be heavin' today. So if you're going in the direction of shops I would recommend early & with sharpened elbows.

For me - house needs cleaned but as it's a nice day I will weed the rose bush area of garden - before the roses grow to the size & viciousness of WMD. But with regular coffee breaks of course.

And remember, any of you lovely ladies & gents who are out for a run in the wilds of Fife are more than welcome to pop in for a coffee & possibly even a half dozen fresh laid eggs from the ladies.

Have a nice day folks

I think that myself and Palema will be out seeing you in a couple of weeks hopefully

It's a lovely day outside and the third load of washing is in the machine. I'm just about to get dressed then hang up the first two loads outside, do the dishes, hang up the final load then walk to Aldi to get me some cheap F&V. That should be good for 30 minutes of walking - I will be getting the bus back though!!

and the third load of washing is in the machine

Hah - not only was all mine done yesterday but it's been ironed & put away - I had a wee mad turn to myself

You misunderstand - this is the third load today, in addition to the two that were done and put away yesterday. I am Superwoman this weekend - kitchen is now clean too

Off to the supermarket now!

Hey FF thought it was about time i got on here and read your diary as at the moment I only communicate with you via FV on FB.

Go you super housework lady

I have returned from Aldi (Woo, I love that shop!) and picked up some good bargains:

Grapes @ 69p
Apples @ 69p (for 6)
Pears @ 69p (for 6)
Kidney beans @ 20p per large tin (Chilli for tea tomorrow methinks)
Lean steak mince @ £1.99 for 500g

I managed to fill three large bags for about £13 and walked the whole way there - about 25 minutes of walking. I also bought a digital pedometer from there for £4.99 so as long as it works ok I will be able to start recording my steps from tomorrow as well which will help with the weightloss thing.

I'm off to the movies for 3pm so am going to spend the next little while batch cooking a load of bolognaise sauce. I have loads of peppers, mushrooms, carrots etc, so should be able to make enough for 10-15 portions and can then plug it into nutracheck to see how many cals etc are in it. I really know how to have fun!!

Doodle - I have totally forgotten which one of my FV neighbours you are Unless your name is close to your MSE name I can never remember, so sorry about that!

Right, cooking (and coffee) calls!
