elsiepac - budget done

New people - hi and welcome

Going now - will be back in just over a week - hoping you all have lots of NSD's and are able to manage those budgets

Another NSD for me :T Took HM cakes to coffee morning and had scrambled eggs for lunch, then I finished off sorting the bank account stuff I'd given up on yesterday!

On Monday, I made a batch of mince with LOTS of veggies and some lentils to have spag bol, and kept half for today. Made the easiest lasagne ever. Used the meat mixture to layer with lasagne sheets, but the sauce was made from half a tub of almost OOD cream with an egg beaten into it, and some mature grated cheese - 2/3rds in the sauce and the rest on top. Very yummy

Bad day today, poor DD (only 22) found a lump and was referred to breast clinic, went for scan and they did an immediate biopsy......I am obviously terrified and trying not to show it.

Any positive thoughts and prayers you can spare will be gratefully received while my girl waits for the result

£20 spent on taxis and buses to and from hospital.

Sorry, I didn't manage to catch up on all posts last night so I missed this. Praying all will be well...

Have been making cous cous salad and pasta salad for our packed lunches as we were finding a roll and banana was not enough. Think that's where all the frozen corn and peas have gone!

How do you do your cous cous salad? I'm so bored of sandwiches!!

Hi everyone.

Have a good holiday helen jelly.

Any good news Fozzie? I really hope so.

£1.10 lighter today on soy milk as baby has had the squits for 3 weeks :shocked: and docs want to see if it's his milk. To be honest, it's a bit academic now, as I'm relieved to find out he's not 'ill' in any other way and is still gaining weight and happy in himself. So it's just become a laundry issue now! Tested our cloth nappy resolve to the maximum. :rotfl:

No spend day today! Took lunch into work (as I do every day - it was leftover pasta bake today, yum!). Visiting my folks tonight so free dinner, very thrifty! Though I suppose it did cost me a couple of quid on the train lol!)
