Ay up Brizzle - I was just thinking of you..... I was leafing through a copy of the mrM supermarket magazine (Nov/Dec) and on page 79 there is a recipe for 'Chicken, Lemon and Orzo pasta soup'. You make it all in the same bowl - it uses chicken thighs (aren't they reasonably inexpensive? asks the veggie :rotfl:) and only uses 7 ingredients. They've costed it out at 74p per serving - serves 4. One way to get rid of your orzo mountain?

Awesome progress on the debt busting. And a weekend socialising - whoop :T

Thanks GP...that recipe has been located and added to the meal planner by OH!:D Not a bad spot for a veggie

TTs done. Ebay sales on about £130 and rising fast :j Current Account looks forlorn but I needed to get that awful M@NA card below £1k...

Great weekend. Can't quite believe it's Monday already :eek:. Heating on so at least we're all less grumpy!

Need to get my head round what I need to do today. Think it will involve bottling Herman! making some fruit vodka for charity and Xmas, and buying some brown paper for EBay parcel wrapping.....best get a shimmy on

Thanks kerri..they look fab!

So..some good news..

£275 bagged from paypal today (bay of E) .. 4 parcels sent and about another 10 on their way :j :j

£300 odd landed in the current account from the solar panels...thank goodness for all the clear sunny days this year

Spreadsheets done and a few TTs done. Looking promising..I may soon be on a homeward roll into the 5s...but conscious of a house insurance renewal looming, plus Xmas of course

Lovely dinner. Made a quiche, including my own pastry..had forgotten how therapeutic that is. Jacket potatoes and tomato salad. We are really cutting back on grocery spend but no one has noticed yet :rotfl: tells you something about me in RL!!! :rotfl:

Busy day at work, admin mainly in advance of a manic few days so do feel organised if knackered!

Sorry have not been on diaries much..will try and do the rounds tomorrow

Thanks beanie..you lovelything..always one of the first to notice the progress!!

Also the Ebay sales has just improved my current account...have to say a PP transfer is almost instant...so I have done a second TT payment today and guess what..I have just got into the 5s!!!! I am thrilled

Should be able to get below £5k before Xmas if I am careful. Looked at price of an organic turkey today...HELP!! :eek:.. If we have traditional dinner it will be pheasant or chicken. Family have already been told! :rotfl:

Into the 5s and under 6 - that is awesome! You must feel brilliant! I hope I get down to those numbers sometime very sooooooon! Fingers crossed for you to be into the 4s by Christmas - that's one heck of a gift to yourself.

We were going to try a 3 bird roast.....until we saw the price.....Er, no! Crazy expensive and I can only imagine its much worse going organic!

You have done superbly on EBay lately! :T
