Hello all,
This morning I have -
- done daily free scratchcard
- made a menu planer for the whole of January
- Made lunch using leftover veg from yesterdays roast as a soup (yum)
- Realised a pack of ham I have was meant to be used today so used it all up in sandwiches that have gone in the freezer ready for going back to work next week
- had one of those silly scratchcard things in a magazine that give you an 09 number to ring, but found you can actually write off for a claim number so will give that a go, only lost the cost of a stamp if it doesn't work out.
- was bought a granite pestle and mortar in Morrisons as it was really reduced and was the last one hiding behind something else!
About to make a chilli to freeze and will be putting some clothes on ebay.

Hello :j
Thanks for starting the thread again Candy, and great to see so many new folk
Today I have / will:
Checked online banking
Been shopping and only bought the few things on the list
Took Christmas cards to supermarket with me and recycled them
Found a 2010 calendar that was free in a supermarket magazine I got before Christmas - I had shoved it away in a drawer and only remembered it today when I recycled the old one
Took small dog for long walk for free exercise
Refrained from having heating on all day despite the fact that it is freezing :A
Made soup from vegetables I already had, plus stock made from the bones of the small chicken I roasted yesterday when DD2 and her boyf came for lunch
Going to tidy up a bit now and light the fire
Have a nice evening everyone :hello:0 -
Evening Everyone
Think we all got a bit stir crazy so we took little dog for a nice long walk round the lakes. It was really pretty with all the ice and frost. All it cost us is £1 for the car park; dont mind that as it helps with the costs of running the reserve.
Today I have checked online banking
Done monthly big shop at Tesco, only cost me £65, so I am going to see how far I can pair down food bill this month.
Cleaned downstairs loo
Put all shopping away and listed stuff in freezer for meal planning.
I am going to have a browse on the old style board for ideas, as didn't get chance the other day.
Off for a shower in a minute using presents and bits from box under the bed (some are presents from Christmas 08)
Have a releaxing evening everyone:DMy finances are work in progress.Normal veiwing will resume shortly0 -
