Botanical blunderings on a budget - good life starts here.

Pippilongstocking

OK KK

My meals today are

crumpets and egg for brekkie
left over hm by mr cheery gespatcho
Put the rest of this in the hm meatballs for tea (turkey mince from freezer) we'll have this with
Rice to cook from cupboard stash, probably veg from the hoose

kids got packed lunch from home need take bread and milk out the freezer

no food money spent today.....................but I might need check out vegg/fruit at supermarket later on but thats all.

Will think about tomorrow in a bit - feel better having a bit company for the store challenge - thank you

Leaving purse at home a great idea - might follow that one! I took money out of the bank yesterday for fishboxes, forgot the pin, shows me how long I've taken money out of that account!

hello just sneakily popping in - breaking my own rules, naughty cheery!

Would love to do storecupboard challenge - but I don't have one! :eek: Had to bring cold cheese on toast for lunch today cos nothing else in the house :eek: (well, probably not strictly true, but green lentils and spaghetti do not a tasty and quick lunch make!)

Maybe my challenge is *building* a storecupboard?!

<sneaks back off to work>

blimey I'm not liking sitting locked to a chair at a desk in a small room today!

Puddy cats are lovely!

What a great idea about local cut flowers, you could have a real niche there

*waves at Cheery.. cold cheese on toast! :eek:*

Cheery a little cupboard might be good for you arg to being tied to a desk

Red, I'm hoping it might work, no one doing it here

Made a good start at tidying up, set and jarred the strawb 10p jam - 5 jars, made pesto with home basil which looks OK................and made an attempt at cheese but thus far it aint looking great

And found a nice link http://www.blasda.org.uk/

Off to cycle up to dd walking home and take the mutt, although as cheery will tell you later, he's not great at not stopping directly infront of the bike

Breakfast: weetabix and milk

Lunch and snacks: banana, apple, oat cakes found in desk, thankfully not too out of date , lentil/rice salad with cucumber, yellow pepper and soy sauce, diet coke (yay to desk findings!!)

Dinner: left over veggie and beany stew from yesterday

Try not to eat all the bread and make DD's sandwiches instead!! I'm going home via MrT's to see if any bargainous bargains that can't be resisted at any cost, but I did buy a cauliflower yesterday that will make a fab thai curry for Saturday night when I've hopefully got a girly chum staying

Thai curry sounds lovely, would you mind sharing the recipe please Kittikins?

Kittikins

Errrm, it's made up as I go along.....just thai curry paste, fish sauce, coconut milk, veg of any description usually from the bottom of the fridge or tofu, all in a pan and cook.

Darn it - MrT's had YS pineapple juice (really not necessary but I love it.......), very YS pizza, offer on fromage frais that DD likes and a few other small bits - but I found £5 in my purse, so paid with that instead of dipping into my 'real money'....

what's YS KK?? am i missing something??

We're going to be doing a storecupboard thing too. Had our shopping delivered yesterday and need it to last as long as possible. Cheated a bit tonight though as DH working late so just me and DD to feed. Picking up DD from parents after work I hear my DD tell my step dad she had had "frogs and snakes and spiders" for tea yesterday (she did not may I quickly add!!) As i'm leaving lovely step dad passes me a container full of cheese and potato pie (my favourite) and says "I can't have my granddaughter starving can I?" (does that mean that he doesn't mind me starving??? hmmmmmm???!!!)

Cheery glad you got home safely.

Thanks for asking that questions Starnac, I am sat here wondering:

A) what YS is
What your DD is describing

Waves hi to everyone, just caught up after a few days in Scotland. Only got up as far as Glasgow this time but it was a lovely if short trip. Followed the Ayrshire coast on the way up and got to see lots of lovely water

I have no idea tbh. She actually had sausage, mash and beans for tea yesterday. I wonder if she's heard someone else say it at nursery or whether she just has a very very active imagination?
