Had a quick read of some of the War time rations challenge of £100/month for groceries and am inspired. But will try and do our groceries on £150 if possible. Will be tough, but will give it a go. Decided no booze for month of March to help keep bill down! We shall see!

Had a pretty productive day yesterday, so here we go again. Today I have:

Walked dog and 2 boys to school.
Hung washing out on line.
Quick clean of loos and sinks!


And I will:
Check online banking.
More washing on quickwash and line dried - hopefully.
Walk dog and DS3 to/from school to collect boys

Make spicy meatballs & pasta for dinner
Make pack lunches
Do some ironing
Bank cheques today and also close unused bank account and draw out pennies that are in there - about £5 I think.
Drive economically to DS2's swimming lesson
List 10 books/CDs on Amazon to sell
Have LSD
Finish menu plan for week
Draw up plans for garden & include children's play area and also veg/fruit patch.
Batch cook buns/cake & minced beef & veg pies & freeze
- need to make pastry first!;)





Be thankful for my lot and realise there are so many others far far worse off.

Hey newlyfrugalmum of 3 - I'm a professional gardener/mascerading as a research student at the moment - and do gardening design etc as private work at the mo - so if you want any info re gardens or any help gives a shout!

I can't say I'll know lots about the specifics of what you want- but I'll know where to get lots info! x

Morning Everyone!

I'm on a study day today :j- it's a nice way of getting a lie in and pottering about pretending you're working! Anyway so far I have done/will do the following:

- wearing my 'study socks'! (lovely big comfy, cosy pink thermal socks), slippers and dressing gown over my clothes, rather than sticking heating on. LOVE studying in comfort!!!
- done 2 loads of washing at 30 and hung out.
- having my homemade soup at lunchtime, rather than last year's pattern of treating myself to a subway/greggs.
- Daily clicks done and internet banking checked.
- Got a tutorial 7-9pm tonight. Walking to train station, taking train and then walking to Uni. Train costs £3.45 return, rather than pay £4.00 for parking and waste fuel getting to and from Uni.

Hope the antibiotics are kicking in Sarah. have a nice day everyone!

Have made all phone calls though plus 1 to my CC to cancel it now that its clear :j and discovered I was apparently paying PPI:eek: so have bitten the bullet and done the reclaim letter - it wouldn't be much cos the balance was never very high but every penny counts!
