    I found a farm shop! Turners farm shop just by the ring road after the Sainsbugs at Emersons Green. We bought 2 big bags of veg for £11!!! Well worth a visit if you ever have the inclination :)

    Thanks everyone!!

    Good things happened today:

    - NSD!! Yay!!
    - lots of decluttering and we have stuff ready to go for charity as well as 15 items in Fleabay..one has a bid on it already so all being well that's my first £9.99 gained! We have decided we want to carry on this time until we get to £250 profit.. Arbitrary figure but we just want to have less stuff in the house so we are getting on with it, boring though it is for sure! Weather was great today and we were stuck inside!
    - lovely roast dinner from odds and ends from freezer larder and fridge and from garden. Yum. Also found some more HM gin and vodka in the back of the larder which will be handy this month..the September Step Up is alcohol free, but i am hoping that is actually about not purchasing anymore rather than merely consuming it!:rotfl:
    - played board games with DC this eve..great fun. Lit the fire as a treat too.
    - guys that hired the van were very sweet and left us loads of food so we are quite up in way of lager, fizzy drinks and some bacon amongst other things!!:T

    Think that's it. Have a great week folks, especially those starting back at school:(
