Well, you should have seen the supermarket today - people are panic-buying thinking they are going to be snowed in. Total battle of the trollies. It was actually a balmy 0 degrees there and a few feeble flurries of snow so I don't understand what the panic is about.

It's a bit colder up here on the hills though and it's starting to snow much more heavily. Gotta make at least two more trips out in the car - the second one at 10:30pm. I think it will have calmed down by then though.

I bought lots of nice food that will enable me to keep eating 'clean' for the next week or so. As for being snowed in, there's enough in the freezers and cupboards to do us for weeks if necessary.

Have a nice day all.

It was the same here - we popped out at lunchtime and it was crazy! We're not even really predicted anything. People are ridiculous. You can see the snow on the hills though. Have safe trips out though.

I haven't really done much today again I'm quite enjoying these lazy weekends, though I'm not achieving much and it's not helping me raise extra cash.

I did go through and reorganise the kitchen cupboards (with the not so angelic aim of seeing if I had enough ingredients in the house to make cookies ) but that was good and something I've been meaning to do for ages. I know exactly what I've got now and where to find it. I also managed to find ingredients I'd been looking for previously and had to go out and replace because I couldn't find them :mad: There's also a lot of out of date stuff in there, so the next project will be to use as much as I can up (nothing that will be harmful, but most of it is dated 2009 ) It does reflect how little I've cooked/baked properly since I've been in this house.

Oh dear - i totally cannot cope with 'battle of the trollies' i always try and shop before the weekend - i can get to and from the supermarket quicker as well as hopefully get round it faster too. Well done on buying healthy foodstuffs too :T I must admit to really enjoying healthy things - just not being able to afford it as it does bump up the shopping a fair bit

Erm - if you see my thread you'll see the 'next to nothing' that i've achieved today :whistle: Cookies - did you bake some? :drool: I am baking a cake tomorrow - well i don't want the ingredients to spoil The other thing is jwil you always achieve so much- i bet you've got plenty done today even though you've classed it as a more relaxing day

No cookies yet - see I didn't even manage that I do have all the stuff though, so as I need to use up some out of date stuff I will do that tomorrow Swap you a cookie for some cake?

I don't achieve half as much as you DDFW, but I have decluttered some books

jwil

Ok, I think I *have* actually achieved some stuff today so I'm going to list it

• Finished book before getting out of bed
• Checked emails/ebay/played bingo etc
• Packed some ebay parcels
• Looked through some recipe books to see if there were any recipes I wanted to keep before getting rid
• Took DH over to pick up his car
• Sorted through kitchen cupboards
• Went to get a few things from supermarket
• Lunch
• Watched Fringe
• Finished another book
• Finished a health book I just wanted to flick through and read a few sections
• 3 lots of washing done
• Dishes

So all in all, not actually too bad

In case anyone is wondering, I usually have several books on the go at once, and so often finish a load at the same time, I'm not that speedy

Morning everyone

Lazy morning this morning, did not get up properly until 9am (that's about 3 hours later than a normal sunday :eek:

So I spent some time in bed reading and now I'm going to try and have a productive day. I've just been very lucky on BP so I might be able to redeem 2 amazon vouchers this week, hurrah! :j

Aww thanks Brizzle, not sure about that though

So far all seems well with the OOD ingredients. I may have had to bash the sugar though to 'un-brick' it though :rotfl:

Cookies are now in the oven and I've half prepared the fruit cake.

Morning Jwil

Glad you are having a bit of relaxation time at home. I love your de-cluttering of the books :)

I'm still in the 'can't be a***d mode but have a few bids on ebay so that surely will motivate me to do something this coming week. Doing no challenges this month but hope to make some money along the way.
