How to Get Through The Tough Times The Old Style Way.

BitterAndTwisted

Those Kuhn Rikon's are dead posh. I saw one in one of those fancy slummy-mummy kitchen shops recently and my heart nearly stopped at the price. I'm still using my mother's old Prestige one which must be about 40 years old by now and still going strong

Yes. One is dead posh. Actually.
It will last a lot longer than me and be a family heirloom !

Well i am finally pleased to say that my bathroom is almost there..just got the floor to be put down and thats it:j:j..he chaps that have done it all have been lovely and very tidy..but i will be glad to have my home back..couldn't even have a tinkle last wk coz both toilets had men in them..had to go and ask my mum if i could use hers..:o..it will be worth it when they have done it..
The allotments are going great and spuds are in as well as other veg..toms are growing,strawberry plants are also doing great..my little fruit bed is blooming..cat crap problem solved i have been putting broken egg shells all over ..pokey bits upwards:D..love to see it sit on that:rotfl:.had to pay the rent on them this wk £70 for both..not too bad in the long term..as its going to save us an absolute fortune in fruit and veg ..
Got a problem though my chickens stopped laying last wk..and seem to be out of sorts..well my neighbour from 2 doors down came to tell me she had seen a bloody great fox in her garden after her rabbits..twice she has seen it..so i am assuming thats what is up with my little feathered ladies..will increase security on chicken coop.
Been to my local CS and got 4 metres of pink gingham fabric so cute and girly..for belive it or not 50p..she said no-one was interested in it and had been there for wks..so i snapped it up:D..also got fern a lovely military style pink jacket for the summer for a £1..so bargains all round and didn't cost too much..
We have given the girls a little patch in the garden for growing some beans and sun flowers in..bless them they are so excited..they have been going out to help their daddy with the garden and asked for a bit of their own..i made a sign for them and next week we are going to make a little scarecrow..
I have been baking and breadmaking,sewing and gardening..not spending any money and couldn't be happier...got some money off my daughter for mothers day..so i have that for a treat..thing is i don't need anything or want anything..will have to think about it ..might save it..
Anyway that me done..o yes meant to say i made a potato and onion pie for tea the other night..god it was gorgeous..it was the first time i made it and everyone loved it..so thats gone into my meal plans..we had it with cold chicken(leftovers from sunday) and green beans with gravy..lipsmacking good:D

Sainsbury's are - and round here they're the cheapest even before the promotion! It's 5p per litre off when you spend £50. It's good for us as that's where we buy a lot of our provisions.

Yep sainsbugs here too and they are the cheapest!. I didnt qualify tonight cos I spent less than £50 and was a bit miffed:D But I guess I am not saving anything if I buy something I dont need just so I can save 30p when I put some petrol in the car:rotfl:!

I hope you are looking after yourselves jedi and gailey ..

I have just realised what time it is so am off to bed peeps. I am soo tired lately and am hoping that I find a new job soon , my set up with 2 jobs is wearing me out. I didnt get home tonight til 8pm and didnt have time to have a meal which is not going to do me any good:(

Those sort of shops are the ones I use to get washing powder/supply of loo roll/ some spare cleaning cloths/washing up brush to store for the next change over depending on the price of my shop. Ten pounds is regretably easy to ''fill'' with provisions with no expiry that for me it makes sense to hold in reserve in order to use the offers with out ''extra''spend, just advanced spend.

When is the offer on until please? I have looked on their website but xoudnt see anything!

Thanks a million! X
