Essential life skills for sure..but we also need to make sure we encourage our young people to be independent..I still think my OH does too much for ours...and they are only 10 and 13:rotfl:

We are living on our salad too.. In fact off to allotment now...I think I may expire in this heat tho....If I am not back on the diaries this eve you will know why!!:rotfl:

All my jobs are done.

The beds are changed, all the washing is washed, dried and ironed and the food inventory and menu plan is complete.

We can go off for a few days knowing everything is done :T

Enjoy the sun - it's glorious today

I have to admit I like the fluidity of threads, conversations move on and travel back and forth, one of the many things I have learned about getting out of debt is that you have to have a holistic approach, it can't all be make x pay y ... Sometimes it's when we watch programmes like the one on the BBC it makes us stop and think for a bit

For me debt reducing Is about how it makes you as a person/couple/family etc change, the changes are different for everyone, what some find easy others don't, which is where Mse and the diaries come into their own, we can share ideas of what worked for us and what didn't to help each other along on their journey.

So please meander as often as you feel you want to, the destination will be the same, just the route different and people will relate to some things more than others

Now I need to start pricing my portions

We have a garden plot at the bottom of the garden. Did quite well on radishes but now died a death. Strawberries are currently doing brilliantly. Also picked 5 cherries today off of my 2 year old cherry tree, suspect not much more to come this year! I absolutely love it when we are eating from the garden, although the peas are nearly ready and I find very few of those make the pot!

I have just watched the food one on iplayer, I honestly found it quite upsetting that working people and pensioners are in this much poverty. It has definitely made me re evaluate things regarding food budgeting etc.

What are those programmes called so I know what to look for when I get home?

Morning AJ, both on iplayer - Great British Budget Menu and Nick and Margaret: We Pay all Your Benefits.

(I especially liked the chook ending for the family:D)

My straws haven't faired at all well (think I may have neglected their needs:(). Very envious of the cherry tree though.

Oops, not my thread. Morning Tilly:D
