Hmmm when you've the big puppy dog eyes and 'pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease' you can't help but say yes!! lol.
Well done on the meal planner Me and OH usually get the £9.99 meat pack from Asda each week. 5 different meats and at least 5 meals out of it. Bonus being you're not cooking exactly the same thing each time either. The sky is the limit!! Wealth is what you're left with when all your money runs out0 -

Unfortunately no !!!
Have been off the scene as we were on our hols, fab & hot but seems a lifetime ago now. Been back to reality for 10 days but having trouble with the internet, hence the silence.
Am sticking to my meal planner but broke loose at the weekend to have a BBQ in the glorious sun we had dipping into money to frequently with having the DC off school, but in a few more weeks i intend to get more on track. 05/03/14 £15,980 0n 2 CCs

Will start my meal planner soon and do an internet shop as the kitchen cupboards are like old Mother Hubbards :rotfl:
Am attempting to make my own relish later, nothing too exotic, just red onion & apple, have put empty jam jars in the dishwasher to sterilise.
Its a bright sunny day so will walk the dog later, have the washing blowing on the line and the chooks are digging for worms.
I need to do a couple of extra shifts this month to pay the CC but have been feeling really tired & the thought of extra work is awful. I pay the minimum payments but at this rate they will take forever to clear. Will have a few early nights, catch up on sleep & find the energy to do the overtime !05/03/14 £15,980 0n 2 CCs

I am absolutely shattered this week, went back to bed after the school run yesterday had a blood test recently and my iron count is normal but i am feeling sooooooooo tired !
Its a grey day & a bit chilly, i have sat watching morning tv ( which i never do ) and now feel lazy & guilty ! Time to pop on the wellies and walk the dog.
Intend to have a NSD today, pork chops for tea with apple sauce, mashed spuds & spring onions. Have all the ingredients and been sticking to my meal planner .05/03/14 £15,980 0n 2 CCs

Have worked 2 shifts as overtime, need to put that money towards Christmas, my savings account i opened for Christmas has been chipped into too many times to mention and now has only £84 left........Very naughty cosidering my goal was to save £2 a day, sounds so simple too ! 05/03/14 £15,980 0n 2 CCs

Spent a bit more than usual on Saturday as had friends for a meal (and an afternoon visit to the pub
) but, never mind as it was excellent to see them and lots of fun.
Started the housework at 8.45 today , am proud to say that every room has been vacumed, dusted & straightened up ! , 2 baskets of ironing has been done & the kitchen floor mopped. Very pleased with the effort i put in and everything is in order until the DC are home......
Have my meal planner sorted, it helps me so much, my trips to the supermarket have cut down drastically, i am not completely "cured" of my addiction to pop in & spend on stuff i do not need but i am definately getting there !05/03/14 £15,980 0n 2 CCs

Frrezing right now, just back from the school run, changed into scruffy but cosy joggers, fleece & thick socks. I have no intention to leave the house, so intend to hibernate for a few hours 05/03/14 £15,980 0n 2 CCs
