Countdown to Freedom

Hope you don't need to get too much with the £12

Dinner does sound so yummy! Have a lovely day - DH and I are heading off to town, but might need to either find a coat, or accept that a soaking is going to happen, lol x

Hi Giblets, shopping came to just under £9 :j bear in mind food will be out of the freezer, from the garden, or larder.



Menu plan for the two weeks is complete and printed and no shopping apart from a little fruit and veg next weekend.

Freezer will be empty enough to turn off and defrost and the odd it's which are left can go into the small freezer compartment in the house fridge.

Practice holiday pack is done and we know what we can and can't take.

I'm having a HG fig and some cheese in a moment :T

Have a good day and I hope everyone has extra large brollies.

Loose change paid into bank £6.73 - now OPd :T

Washing done
Ironing done
Garage sorted

Veg beds weeded and a few bits pulled out that had gone over.

Seeds sorted and a few thrown out.

Mr T is having a sort out in the study - we will no doubt have a fire tomorrow to burn the receipts.

I'm watching Gardeners World and having some peace and quiet.

I am totally doing a freezer/larder challenge this month - I need to get back in shape and apart from veg or other perishables between my fortnightly shop, I am trying NOT to buy anything more for the larders and munching my way through the freezer...

Hi Hurdler, I quite like challenges like this as it really makes me focus on what I'm planning. I feel so sad to say the freezer will be empty and I'm SO looking forward to defrosting and cleaning it - mad woman indeed :rotfl:

Morning, fab time at the gym and although the bed seems to have magnets attached at 6.15am on a Sunday morning, I love it when I get there.

Mushrooms on toast for breakfast for me and kids had HM pancakes. They've gone off on their hols now and Mr T and I have some peace.

Both their beds are stripped. DDs bathroom has had a top to bottom scrub and looks a delight. Just need to remake her bed and that's the room finished. Will remake DSs bed and I can shut the door on that room as well.

Kitchen hob and oven cleaned, kitchen cupboards washed, downstairs loo cleaned including all the tiles, basin etc.

Thankfully it is a bright and windy day so the bedding can be flapping outside.

Project freezer use up continues and tonight's it's chipotle chicken with potato wedges and salad. Icecream and stewed pears for pud.

Mr T and I are off to JL for a coffee and cake :money: Then I'm going to treat myself to a couple of new bras - whoop whoop.

I have a return to do for DS to M&S - school shirts. He is so tall and skinny now I'm going to have to have extra long ones :eek:

I also have a 20% off menswear voucher from M&S so we may invest in a few bits for Mr T.

No church today - we are taking the hounds for a long walk and will take some time to have a pray outside.

Right, I'd better crack on.

Have a good day, Tilly x x x

Busy morning already Tilly, sounds like you've been up and at it like a woman on a mission!

Have a good time out, glad the sun is shining for you. x

I know I'm a bit behind, but Friday nights salad with the kidney beans and the sweet corn sounds delicious !


You sound like you've already packed a days work into a few hours this morning, so enjoy your coffee and cake and the long walk

Why is it that the run up to vacation, means you end up cramming all the work in, which you should be doing during th vacation :eek::eek:

Spending diary to update this evening.

Fish pie for dinner tonight - this will finish all the fish in the freezer

I have a few completely empty drawers in said freezer now :eek::)

NSD ahead and I'm dropping Mr T at the railway station in a few mins.

Mr T and I are having a day by the sea on Saturday. Fingers crossed we have dry weather.

Right, I'd better get cracking.

Best wishes, Tilly x
