Lynsey - it's not the same without your sig!

Lol - take care of yourself - I'll keep a general tab of things just for you.
I know for a fact I'll come in well under £2k without even trying .............. but no planned budget as such.
Need to clear freezers and cupboards. :rotfl:

You get all 6 coupons, not just some. 1 per individual coupon per pc.
When logged in to L'Oreal Insider, click on "My Rewards" on the top line. You then get the option to "Update Voucher Preferences" - click on that. I set them all as "Other Brands Mainly" and one by one you can select "L'Oreal Paris Only" and print them all off.

Go girl. lol

Lamb is smelling lovely.
Busy putting decorations away!!

Happy New Year everyone _party_

NSD for me today, but while I was browsing online in prep for shopping trip with Maman tomorrow, I did notice that ASDA sells Green Giant organic sweetcorn 125g 19p per can cheaper than anyone else (and nope not an offer) so dispatched His Nibs to get some. Always useful for salad, savoury rice or chilli con carne for him.

The £10 special purchase Gressingham free range duck which OH bought from Morries on Christmas Eve and froze is in't'oven slow-roasting and it smells divine.

Got giblets with the duck and those have been cooked for dog. Should have saved us a tin of dog food but the gourmet lab who is so used to getting organic, free range and wild titbits now will just huff and glare if he doesn't get both.

OH is taking cold duck to work tomorrow and rest of the Gail's loaf as well as an unopened tin of Jacob's cream crackers, unopened Palestinian organic dates and Waitrose organic figs plus the Stilton from the freezer which didn't get used for soup. If he whinges about leftovers I'm gonna give him baked beans for the month

Morning all, bit of a grey day here. No frost though and expected it as clear skies last night.

Just toast today for breakfast, I'll have to start on the porridge again.

Lamb was really nice, cooked for just over 4 hours as scared a little. I have a very hot oven, so had to reduce temp. Just fell off the bone though and very, very tender.
Lamb and mint sauce sandwiches later and hubby will do a curry with the bits.

Popping into Tesco today and might look in M&S. First spends of the year ahead.
Need to sort my Groupons out - no free fivers so far - they haven't been charitable. lol
I also need to sort Scarborough hotel (Travelodge) - I remember booking it but can't remember the exact date!! March sometime I think??

Afternoon all.

Just spent the morning, and some of the afternoon putting up ds' big playmobil castle that Father Christmas got him. There was two of us doing it too lol, ds' dad helped out. Both have headed off out now to ds' dad's flat. Yippeeeee. Peace at last!

Today is a NSD, need to buy electric soon, but that's it for now. Going to stop having a drink on weekends now, as I was thinking that I get absolutely nothing from it, except for being a wee bit squiffy lol. I'll be saving money, sleeping better, not eating when I get the munchies, and all the other pro's from giving it up. Wonder how long it will last, but I feel determined. Just worked it out, I'd be saving about £56 a month! :eek:

Lynsey - thinking of booking a cheap Sun holiday to Scarborough in June. Love it there (except for that damn hill!).

I felt much the same way before Christmas!

Completely agree. She was obviously spoiling for a fight, and I bet it wasn't anything at all to do with ds not eating his tea. I don't know how she dare undermine me in front of my ds! She certainly wouldn't do that to my brothers in front of their kids, but I'm guessing it's because I'm closer to her... well, was lol.

Happy new year everyone. My Sausage and Bean casserole yesterday was blinding, froze 4 other potions ready for my shifts at the end of the week. Back to the grind.

Had a lovely lunch, bought some 50/50 bagels for 50p on NYE; had salad and chicken and it was so good, I'd bought it from a cafe!

My new thermos came from Amazon today, a special one for soup so no handle or cup and wider than the average. I want to find some cheap tomatoes to make my own soup but no such luck at the moment.

Morrisons and M&S have their easter eggs out!

quintwins

Easter eggs already!!! i'm not buying my kids any they get loads anyway.


I thought i was feeling better today but my tummys upset now prob from days of taking tablets with hardly any food

Anyhoo food wise we had pancakes and potatoe bread buttered with jam for breakfast, for lunch we had ham sandwichs and cocktail sausages lo from yesterday, dinner is mash and sausage rolls, not a very healthy day but it's using stuff up in the fridge that will never fit in the freezer.
