I STILL want to be mortgage free - 2011!

This week I shall be cooking: Chicken and bacon risotto, chicken curry and my own kidney beanless chilli.

I spent £50 at Sainsburys before...is that a lot for one person for the week? To clarify I did buy a £5 bottle of wine, sugar, curry powder, two big bottles of vimto for work (it's my turn) and some biscuits as a treat for me, all of which I don't usually buy. I won't need to shop again now until next weekend at the earliest. Bought quite a bit of fruit as well, I'm on a health kick.

Woo hoo. Just had my gas and electricity DD reduced from £86 per month to £56 per month. :j Every little helps!

Going to make my curry over night tonight....I'm very excited. Hope it all works out ok, I've never made it before and I'm REALLY looking forward to it.

I'm feeling very accomplished at the minute, I'm working hard and feel like I'm accomplishing a lot. Go me. I don't even know why to be honest, I'm not really doing anything more than normal.

nice to feel like things are coming together.

I'm made veggie curry in the slow cooker over night to give OH a night off from cooking. yum yum pigs bum I'm very much a 'chuck it all in an do it by eye' kind of cook.

Well it's going to make up my lunch tomorrow hopefully. I'm very excited about this. :rotfl: Just means I have to get up early to box it all up etc. Boo.

just think of all the jealous looks you'll get as the smell of your delicious home made curry wafts across the staffroom. THEN it will be worth it

twinklie

Indeed. Although, we are in a mini workroom rather than the staffroom but go on.

Right had a 35 minute chat with my dissertation supervisor today. PHEW! I actually think I might have an idea what it is that I'm doing!!! Hold on to your hats ladies....Twinks is going to flex her brain cells!!!

Right, another busy day at the twinklie house. Got back from work and went to get my flu and pneumonia jab. Sore arms now...that nurse was a bit "firm".

Running round like a headless chicken trying to sort my year 7 books ready for checking my SLT on Tuesday, then I have 2 observations coming up. One by HOD and one by 2 members of the department!! STRESS. I'm also running my first ever trip on Monday to Manchester...scary biscuits! :-s

I'm like a swan at the minute...look like I know what I'm doing and am calm.....but legs, brain and everything else is going like the clappers!! ARGH!
