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.
Have a great afternoon/evening all!
Meal planning for a whole month - wow, well done you!! Any chance you could list your meal plan to give me some ideas as I am struggling for cheapish meals? Thank youStacyl1977:EasterBun0
