Mortgage freedom..Shala_moo's attempt at a diary..

Thanks GG, in reality it'll probably be a bit boring but in my head it's going to be like Runaway Jury and I'm John Cusack To be honest, I don't mind getting paid to read a good book and doing my bit for the judicial system!

So tonight OH is off out drinking with work peeps, I shall be continuing with my new passion - freezer envy! (OH thinks i'm a bit odd swooning over people's freezers)

Look at this

Who wouldn't want a freezer this well organized.. everytime I open ours something falls on my head/toes!!


My next project, therefore, is to start freezer meals


Tomorrow I will be cooking :

• Macaroni cheese individual portions
• chicken and ham pockets
• chicken and ham pie mix
• egg fried rice
• slow cooker chilli

and ramming them in the freezer somewhere because there's no room! :rotfl:

Me Too!!

Jealous of jury service too, always fancied doing it. Have been in front of coroner and scared witless but love to be a paid jury member.

That freezer looks too sterile for me. Depriving yourself of the pleasure of finding the unexpected packet of profiteroles or tub of ice cream just isn't fun

Don't forget the peas making a bid for freedom .

INOD I may coming round to check your freezer out, mine never has anything nice like that in it.. Although it does have the escaping peas!

Off to buy some tubs and decent ziploc bag type things so I can start my mission..:D

I always have a few stacked lunchboxes with frozen leftovers for mine and Daves dinner (the kids take sandwiches). I have a floor to ceiling freezer but tbh miss my chest freezer as it was always cavernous.

I'd love to take sandwiches everyday but bread is evil.. I'm a little bit jealous of people who go and fetch their lovely looking lunch everyday from the sandwich shop but then I think of the cost :eek: and decide they're stoopid :rotfl:

Right, well i'm officially knackered.. I've made 3 portions of mac cheese, 2 portions of chicken pie mix, 2 portions of egg fried rice, 3 turkey meatloaves, 6 portions of chilli and 10 chicken/bacon pockets.


I'm just experimenting with stuff so haven't made huge batches yet, but if it works ok then I'll be doing a lot more.

I have taken pictures...

Before


After - top 2 shelves only, because the rest is still a bit of a mess! Tubs are stacked 2 deep so there's more in there than you can really see.



Oh just rolled his eyes at me :rotfl::rotfl:

In all the freezer excitement yesterday I forgot to post my money saving post/emails that came through..

• Received 90 dishwasher tablets to trial (F1nish by the look of them)
• Email to verify refund of dental fees £49
• ordered a £10 J0hn Lewis voucher from VO

Hi...

I have spent the last few days reading your diary from the very start and have learnt loads...

I hope you don't mind but I have a couple of questions...

What sites do you use for your free trials?
What is a tilly tidy?
Can you show us some of your non confidential spreadsheets especially the mortgage one... but any at all your willing to share and finally....

Congress on everything so far... you seem to be really focused on your goal.
