    Have had a bit of a busy day today, been down to in law's to sort some stuff out, I seem to be getting landed with more of their personal stuff the older they get , which is fine as if the time should ever come when they are incapable of dealing with things at least I won't be going in blind

    The nipped to asda to get some sausages for mr el he had cereal the other day and was starving at work so understandably wants to have a cooked breakfast in the morning ... On one shelf the sausages were red stickers as going down to £3 on the shelf above the same sausages were £2.50 so I picked up 4 packets ( will freeze some that way mr el will have sausages for a few weeks) went to the self scan and they came up at £3 got someone to check the £2.50 price so got it at that price also got my egg 15p cheaper ( got 2 lots) so all in all saved £2.30 today in the shops ... Still spent £12.70 though

    Going to have something to eat then get on the treadmill for a bit before heading to work

    Today's dinner was a delicious chicken tikka jalfrezi ... There I enough to do us tomorrow as well, mr el found it quite easy to make ( that take away book again for the recipe ... Mr el added his own base to it ) we used up some more tinned tomatoes from the out of date cupboard so not many left in there to use :)

    I did day 3 of week 2 of the c25k, I've found this week hard going, so may repeat the week next week of I don't feel any better running after tomorrow .... Mr el completed day 3 of shred and promptly turned the heating off saying the house was too hot ... I wonder if I've maybe found the cure for the leaking gas:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    We had a good chat over dinner and mr el was saying how much more positive he is feeling about things now that we are working as a team, he said he did wish though we still had the money coming in that we used to as we would be debt free much much faster ... But I see it as the main thing is we're working together now so it's gonna be much easier no matter what

    Do you do them every week beanie ? I think it's something I would want to do weekly and I think it would all mount up at the end of the year :)

    I imagine they would ... I got 180 points today with just 30 mins or so ( whilst I was wasting time anyway)

    I think over the course of a year it will give me a weeks Shopping ... Which will be handy if money is tight :)
