    No, it makes you a busy person who needs some downtime :rotfl::rotfl:

    I don't think it's strange to be happy about a freezer I love my fridge freezer in fact I have said in the past that it is the one item I would save if the house was on fire it makes me smile every time I open it :D OK it was an after thought and doesn't fit properly in the kitchen but if I could afford to rejig the kitchen I would plan it around the fridge freezer :o

    And why shouldn't life be exciting and full of new things I bet a lot of these people are secretly jealous of how you spend your life you go for it girl don't let them "settle" you down :D

    My food spend last month was a stonking £77.40. :eek: I need to get back on track with this and eat more healthily this month.

    I find this amazingly cheap, can't believe £77.40 for a month is a lot. Is it so low because you eat out a lot?

    Mmm, probably ate out/had friends over (dont pay for this from my grocery budget) 6 times last month so it helps a bit but basically I batch cook, ALWAYS take lunch to work and probably have pasta and HM sauce twice a week.

    Hello and hooray for the new freezer! £77.40 is a brilliant total for the month - sounds like it all balances out by economising on lunch etc so you can eat out and have friends over :)

    Hey all, having a good old fester tonight with the Apprentice and some pretzels. Had a lovley bath and Asda called round with some stocks for my cupboard and freezer :j

    Made some lovely soup for the next two days lunch and had veggie pasta with HM sauce for tea. The girls at work are loving the freezer chat and Ive got one of them doing her own personal grocery challenge. Me, a money mentor :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    In very exciting news, the 'very fancy frock shop which Hypno likes but ISN't the one lionheart thinks it is' called today for a chat re my application. Whoop!!!! Called them back and will continue to do so in a very stalkerish fashion until they spk to me/offer me a grand job with heaps of DISCOUNT! :D

    I'll keep you posted X
