    I've got a tin of pineapple I really want to use up, I'm pretty sure it moved in when we did (Nov 2013) oops! Might have to just give in and eat it as-is.

    Beautiful with a spot of cream!

    Taken packed lunch most days, missed the odd day but spending hardly anything during the days now.

    Had a little return from funding circle and next month should have £20 to reinvest.

    Keeping up my blog which earns a few pennies per day from advertising which is good for the MFW and getting fantastic feedback too which is good for the soul!

    Back to meal planning this week.
