Aye butt! I am Welsh and I am moving!! :j

Grandparents say we can rent house for £350 per month - :money:
Just need to find a job, and rent out house out and then we are off!!

But no-one knows :shhh:

Ooo Glam, you're looking for new job again? Sorry this one's not working out . But yay for Wales! Sounds very cool, you and weezl can have mini-meets!

Our food bill is between £50-£60 a week.

I want to make it smaller, but DH will only eat certain things so i can never batch cook. And he only will eat Dolmio, he has tried home made sauce and he hated it.

I made Enchiladas from sratch the other day, he hated them. BUt to be honest they actually were disgusting. I got the recipe from someone on yahoo answers :rotfl:

Very :money: Glam! Are they looking to rent somewhere smaller and rent their house to you then? Thats what we're planning to do with my nan and her house, just need to find her royal pickyness somewhere to go first

We were on £100/month challenge using a lot of weezlie's recipes. Have lapsed the past couple months with holidays and all, but money will v tight next month so back to being strict. With Finn eating more and preferring lots of fresh fruit/veg, it will be even more of a challenge! But helped by not needing £20/month in cat food...

Ooh, have fun Aless.

I'm just reading up on the home made Christmas pressie thread on the Special Occasions board and getting all inspired. I fancy having a crack at making some chutneys and some limoncello. I might also make some biscuits as pressies closer to the time (obviously).

Glad to hear you had good/better bedtimes 3 and MDW.

I was just thinking the other day that I will need to bake all my Christmas cakes soon :eek: Might make some sort of chutneys or something else to give with them too. I fancy an MSE Christmas this year! Plus I think it's lovely to have spent time and effort on a present rather than money. Only trouble with making lots of cakes though is space for storing them!

Well I am home alone. Going to go to bed soon and enjoy an uninterrupted sleep. Bliss. I hope everyone else has as good a night. Fab news about better bedtimes all round anyway.

Ooh in my exciting news of the day I get to drive a van tomorrow, well all week actually. I've hired a big van to help move some stuff, got it from tomorrow until Thursday. It probably doesn't sound that exciting to anyone else but I love driving vans!

MFD - Thanks again, very much appreciated! You have mail

:iloveyou:

Have returned it. I think I will change my career to make sure people sell themselves effectively!! My CV reads like I am the most talented person in the world...which of course I am...but if my CV isn't going to show me off and sing my praises then no f00ker else will do it for me!!

*'scuse my French but sometimes I think it is needed....or maybe it is the can and a half of lager that I have drunk!*



I think I would like to be an agony aunt :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

I have no idea how much we spend on groceries - too much for sure. I would love to budget properly and meal plan but every time I try something crops up and we end up getting take out or deciding we don't fancy what I'd planned. And we top up with bits and pieces every other day. We're not going to be able to be so lax soon as I'll be on zero wage so I might have to be stricter with my plans and buying (and definitely with DH's!)

I always make homemade cranberry sauce for family and friends for christmas and it always goes down well! I hate cranberry personally but it makes me feel christmassy!!

If I ever decide I want another proper job I'll know who to send my cv to then!

ETA or if I need a cranberry sauce recipe!
