If you squash the toilet rolls so they don't run away when you pull them, they'll last longer

Another NSD yesterday (10th). Kept to meal plan to the letter so really pleased. Little disappointed that I ran out of bread flour so had to get a few slices out of the emergency bought bread from freezer.

Shopping day Wednesday, gosh how sad am I, I am sooo looking forward to it it's the only time I get out these day, avoids me spending.

Done my meal plans for the week, written my list with the cost of the cheapest place next to the item. So going to ald! First (squash is only 95p, as opposed to other sm's at £1.35 odd. Then Mr Ms and then Mr T's.

Have a good day all.

Flo your crumble looks so delicious I just have to make one with my 3 sorry looking Bramleys sitting in the fruit bowl. I think I shall make up a big lot of crumble mix and batch freeze it.
Should be a NSD today, as I've decided the big store cupboard delivery today is coming out of savings. That seems pretty skewed thinking I know but it all comes out of the same pot in the end.
