Foraging in February for those elusive NSDs!

katholicos

I'm declaring this my 4th NSD in a row and my 5th NSD for February so far. Thanks everyone for your encouragement!

Unfortunately tomorrow must be a spend day, but needs must. Keep up the good work everyone :-)

Just wanted to share my joy that this time last month I had had 2 NSDs; including today, this month's running total is 4! OH just looked at me blankly when I peeped over the laptop at him and exclaimed that so far half the month has been made up of NSDs....

Just wait til you start properly niksyg :rotfl::rotfl:

Hubby moaned today that he had never seen the frigde so empty!! Told him thats because i now do meal plans and the reason the fridge/cupboards/freezer are not full to the brim anymore is because i no longer buy food for the bin!!

Too true rubies, I'm sure most of us on here were guilty of buying food for the bin (I certainly was). Hubby will get used to it (like mine has had to):rotfl::rotfl:

Declaring another NSD for today but going out tomorrow, have to get petrol and some things I need ....

Well done everyone and hugs to anyone needing one.

Is this what you're looking for CeeBeeBy? I personally need the approach most days to get things done

There's still time to join this month's Challenge Niks--our door never closes!Best bring a blankie & wear yer thermals cuz that makes a draught but the Folk are definitely warm & friendly, & some spout enough hot air to keep the chill at bay :rotfl:

I should keep my limp lettuce leaf handy for Peeps who insist on using the 'F' word :mad: I will not HAVE IT When I read your post Jinty, I had a vision of a plate of pineapple fritters,so I propose we wear a badge that declares us to be "nana fritter-ers" It works two ways, in that we are a nana for spending on summat we didn't truly need, & we 'frittered' away a perfectly good nsd AND unnecessary cash. How does that sound Coffee-break? Of course this would only be for those times when the lure of the chocolate bar/ cheesy poofs/ bagga chips--those niggly little spends--become too powerful to resist.

Aww Rubie--I was :drool: watching Hairy Bikers t'other week. A woman had TWO of those american-style full-length larder fridges stood side-by-side, one for fruit & veg & the other for meat & fish! She said she had the same again freezer style AND chest freezERS :eek: I'd love that much space, so I need only go shopping once a week...then again...:think:...don't think I'd like their lekkie bill

The ONLY way I could consider consuming spinach is either mixing it with watercress and covering it in a balsamic dressing or preferably and more suitably for winter adding it to a home made curry and simmering it into oblivion. It is sadly very good for you but..........YUCK

.

I'd suggest you put it in as an ingrediant on BBC food and see what recipes come up. I do it with ricotta and pasta in a bake;

50g butter
bunch spring onions
250g spinach thawed
200g penne pasta
nutmeg, salt and pepper
30g grana padano cheese
1 tbsp chopped herbs
250g ricotta with 2 tablespoons of milk

Soften bunch of sliced spring onions in 40g butter for 2 mins.
Add 250g thawed spinach with water squeezed out
Leave over a low heat to absorb butter
Cook pasta
Season spinach and onions
Add 20g grana padano and herbs
Drain pasta and add
Stir in ricotta mix
Put in buttered dish, scatter with rest of cheese and drizzle with butter
Grill

Wow, 9 days gone already and I've not managed a NSD yet .

Today, however, should be a NSD and hopefully tomorrow too ! Had a few things to buy this month that I don't usually have to fork out for (new school shoes/uniform, changing over pet and house insurance so have had deposits to pay etc etc).

I must try harder !

True, what is Mr T day???!!!

:rotfl:For some reason this made me think of a day full of dressing up/acting like Mr T. That should exist, it'd brighten up my day for definite!

I think Mr T is code for that massive chain of supermarkets beginning with T. I could be wrong though, it takes me a while to catch on to some of the abbreviations on here!

Yesterday was a NSD for me and so far so good for today. As long as I can resist popping into the shop on the way home today should be my 3rd NSD so far. Fingers crossed!
