Is it bad i was abit disapointed in it i'd have liked more proper food iykwim.

i'm still feeling abit ill, not sure whats up i feel like i'm gonna be sick and can't stomach food, i tried some pancakes but couldn't eat more than a few bites.


kids are at school !!!

found my sainburys receit and i spent £2.07 on 3 packets of yogurts and 2 packets of doughtnuts all around half price.

i'm off to try eat a scotch egg.

Dinners in the slowcooker, 80p diced pork, half of a 12p celery, 4-5 small value carrots, 4-5 mushrooms from a 14p punnet with have with mash and cauliflower.

Try something plain like toast... you've gone from pancakes to scotch egg!

With regards to whoopsie shopping, I never find much worth buying because it has to be on the list otherwise I wouldn't have bought it anyway.

Well i managed to eat a scotch egg, my yummys not upset and i havent been sick, it's not that kinda pains i'm not sure whats wrong maybe just a bug or something been off for days

Hmm i'm not liking this later school run the days almost gone.

See i do a general list but subsitute with whoopsies if there cheaper, or around the same price but nicer, i just got carried away by all the nice muffins, which weren't really needed or tbh all that nice.The whoospies i've been getting lately are alot cheaper than anything thats usually on my list.

Morning all, not feeling like i'm going to be sick this morning just a sore throat and tired so an improvement

how cold is it? i went to bed last night in my winter jammies, we have a winter duvet and a nice thick fleecy supersoft blanket on top. then one of my kids started crying this morning because it was too cold to get up

Even tho it's cold i have washing on the line and a load in on the quick wash to get it out asap,

Will check surveys in abit, i got bzzagent campaing for tesco goodness range so i'm hoping i'll get some free/nearly free fruit and bits when they come .

Not happy with tesco spuds, bought a bag a few days ago but when i opened it there were loads of rotten ones, so i went to the farm shop, it was £6 for 10kg which is expensive but atleast i know there good and we can acually eat them i will be email tesco's to complian.While i was there i got 7 granny smith apples for £1.25.

best get some cleaning done, on the plus side it's nearly saturday

Hi Quintwins,

Yes it has gone cold here too - we were doing stuff in the garden yesterday afternoon and the sun had no warmth and it felt like the start of Autumn.....but haven't we missed summer?! :rotfl:

I tried to sign up for Bzzagent but they don't need anyone at the moment.

Happy cleaning!

quintwins

I'm still sat here, just cause i'm so cold and the laptops warm on my knee.....i will not put the heat on.....i will not put the heat one......i will not put the heat on....

Stupid things is cleaning would prob warm me up.

bzz is quite good i've heard of people getting irons i've never got very much from it but it's free stuff so no complaining from me

I gave in and figured how to put the heating on lol x
