Nice job on the smoothie hats! That's an awesome amount of knitting.
Love your mealplan too. I love the sound of Sussex Pond Pudding. I'll have to have a look for that
Mealplan all done here and shopping list all ready for the final day of my Grocery Challenge tomorrow. I've posted my mealplan on the OS board, but here it is for ideas.
Mon: Turkey Curry with Brown Rice
Tues: Meat Feast Pasta
Weds: Stir Fry
Thurs: Mini Toads in the Hole with Beans
Fri: Lighter Chilli con carne with Sauteed Potatoes
Sat: Mexican Chilli Beef & Bacon Tortilla Pie
Sun: Black Bean Chicken with Noodles
Although, part of me is really looking forward to the colder weather so I can get doing stews again.

Got to go to my new job today to sign my contract :T then I will be all ready for the 2nd and my first day working
dd has taken her cakes to school and is excited about selling them to everyone.
I am going to have another NSD today as I don't need anything at all but I will need to go shopping tomorrow mainly things for lunches next week and plenty of fruit to keep my mouth busy in the hope I won't crave too much. I am going to get a bottle of sugar free squash to drink for the first few days as I know coffee will make me crave more :mad: Wish I hadn't started in the first place silly silly me.

I made blackberry jam in my bread machine today and I have to say its lovely i used a load of blackberries from last years picking. The good thing was its only fruit and sugar and no faffing about just put them in the machine and away it goes I hadn't noticed the jam setting before and only made cakes and bread in it but decided I am going to make a pot for my mums Christmas hamper. I will have to start my elderflower champagne soon as that will need bottling ready as well for hamper. :T water £82.00 Totally Paid June 2012, vanquis £290.00 Totally Paid July 2012, e.on £300.00 £189.00 Paid Sep 2012, Scott and co. £989 £918 Paid Oct 2012, s/p £400.00 £295 Dec 2012, o/d £2,000.00 Dec 2012, rent £1,600.00 Jan 2013, mum £1,500.00 £1,400.00 Feb 2013

Ooh, lovely idea on a Christmas hamper. I really love homemade jams and can't wait for the blackberry season so I can get picking a few. Last time, I made several mini crumbles for the freezer and potted them individually so we can have pud anytime.
And good luck giving up smoking. One day at a time - I'm now over a week without fizzy cola.

Wow great work on the hats
Me & Mum have them on the gear kn*bs of our cars as they are metal and get really cold in winter. She threw hers out by accident though, so I'll be getting another for her when they come out.
The Christmas hampers sound like a lovely idea, much more personal & thoughtful
Good luck on quitting smoking
