Don't do it Fresian - I wanted to earlier when I saw it on the Grabbit board - must stop going there - remember your being a Frugal Fresian in 2010.

I just didn't realise that the temptation would be so great....!

Maybe if I set myself a goal to Ebay enough to pay for a new amazing bag then it would be a frugal use of my time...? I think that I know it's not something I can really justify at the moment *sob*

Maybe to celebrate debt-freedom?

Thank you internets

Move away from the computer, do not go to the John Lewis website, go have cake instead.

Saying nuffink...I already bought myself a new case and bag from Radley (in sales via Quidco honest honest honest) as I confessed last week. It was what I promised myself if I got a new job and then my daddy gave me Christmas money and I need the suitcase for the hand luggage nonsense in the plane and and and running out of reasons to rationalise. You can love it and hug it and call it George next time we go out.

I WILL NOTICE IF IT'S MISSING WHEN I RETURN FROM THE BAR!!

Freezer Inventory!!

Freezer #1

1 lump of lamb (No idea what part of the lamb, there's bones in it. They might be ribs) gift from my dad so no labels to help. The fact it's not in a Co-op carrier bag is progress...
2 bags peppers (Portion size)
Half tub Ben & Jerrys Caramel Chew Chew
1 tub Ben & Jerrys Chocolate Brownie
1 and a half tubs Ben and Jerrys Cookie Dough (In my defence it was two for £3 at the time)
Half tub Carte D'or (Left by a friend who came for dinner)
Whole chicken
1 packet bacon
1 pack of 8 sausages
1 pack 4 sausages
1 pack mixed chicken drumsticks/thighs
Half bag roast tatties
Small amount of mixed veg
Massive bag of frozen peas
1 tub beef gravy
Meatballs
500g mince
2 bags lamb chops
4 portions bolognaise

Freezer #2

Pork chops
Salt & pepper basted whole chicken
Meatballs
2 packs chicken breasts
Lump of ham
Beef joint
Chicken thighs
Breaded haddock fillets
Massive bag of sweetcorn
1kg mince
Pack of 6 morning rolls
Pack of 8 sausages
Dauphinoise potatoes

I really do have a lot of food....

Quick question about the dauphinoise potatoes - I bought these from M&S on the Meal Deal and automatically put them in the freezer. I noticed tonight that it doesn't say on them that they're suitable for freezing. Should I keep them?

Well I'm currently sprawled on the couch drinking tea, watching the Big Fat Quiz of the Year and lusting after Russell Brand, so yes I do sometimes!

Also, I have spent a good chunk of the day lazing, but Mr Fresian's friend (dumb@$$) came round earlier and I wasn't in the mood, so I used that time to inventory the cupboards, make the crispies and do dinner. I'm also checking the price of things to sell on Amazon in the adbreaks at the moment

I watched that last night - is it on again, or are you posh and Sky+'ed it?
I do love Rusty, though he seemed a bit tame last night. Shacking up with Katy Perry has taken the edge off him - The Swine!
