No spend day today, don't need anything. Still eating reduced price out of date veg I got a week ago from Tes&co. Sprouts every day.

i hate myself--i am trying to budget and make all the right noise to my wife and she does well but i cant resist buying a crafty bottle of alcohol---what is it in me that says- i deserve something frivilous once in a while but at the moment i am buying things like new cars---but i am sterm with the food shopping--its perverse!

Managed to find it on the January thread. Courtesy of rachelww1 :

Put in SC with an inch or so of apple juice and a bit of seasoning. I cooked it on high for about 5 hours then put it in the oven for about 20 mins with some honey and dijon mustard smeared over it. That was a smaller joint though, so I may cut this one in half and freeze before I cook it.

I'm looking forward to it now. Mum's just called to say Gran's in hospital again, so she'll need some cheering up. And someone else doing the cooking will help I guess.

Used up what we had got and made a bacon and cheese pie (without pastry) and served it with cabbage tossed in home made garlic butter. It was delish even if i do say so ;-)

Evening-posting my shopping total for this week from L**l £76.04 Bit over my £60 a week budget but have to do a party this weekend so hopefully will claw back a bit next week. Have a good weekend

Hi all

Total spent in the last few days is 19.33 to I***and, C*-*P, Mr T and Mr A (what a tart:D) Total updated in signature.

Was going to go to butchers today but as it was so windy and cold I had a rake around my freezer and realised I have at least 4 meals there so will wait until later in the week. Think I have finally got how this works:p

Evening everyone

Just wanted to say that I probably won't be on here much for the rest of the month as sadly my Dad passed away last night. He had been very ill in hospital but it has still come as a huge shock. I'm determined to keep a rough eye on what is being spent but to be honest I'm really not bothered if we spend too much this month. I hope you all keep on track with your NSD's and your budgets and remember

We don't fail, we look, we learn and we move on

Helen - so sorry to hear of your loss, you're in my thoughts.

3rd NSD :j I know we are only 4 days into the month but honestly this is a big thing for me lol
There is a craft and produce fayre nearby tomorrow, so might take the children for a wander there if the weather isn't too bad and pick up some decent fruit/veg at the same time, don't technicially need anything much so if we don't go it won't be the end of the world
