Two Pennies Left

All ironing done and TV caught up on. A little MS:

• ginger cordial bottled
• a little more admin work
• small PAD to tidy up bank account
• another $wag Buck$ voucher claimed (only 50p off the next VO one too )
• a cupboard lunch
• Chorizo and Vegetable Pasta Bake from the meal plan for dinner tonight as Mr F is coming home
• no heating or log burner again today
• an NSD

I'm going to learn how to do CPR tomorrow. It's something I've wanted to do for a long time and our local Parish Council have arranged some training. It's being held in a local pub - probably shouldn't have a drink beforehand? :rotfl:

Hi Fortune, thanks for the pink ginger cordial - I have a stack in the freezer which we are unlikely to get through this year, so I will have a dabble. Need to go and pull a wine bottle out of the recycling bin :rotfl:

Thanks again, Tilly x

I'm going to try mine as a hot drink - bet it would be very comforting if you have a cold. There's a recipe for Ginger Beer on the same site which I think I'll give a go too.

Hi FS, Thanks for the recipe link for pink ginger cordial. I have a big pack of root ginger in my fridge languishing in there. But, I don't have the blackberries. So I won't get the pink colour. I will try on a small bottle first and see how it goes. Thanks :T

Hi US

I've sometimes used blackcurrants or raspberries instead but I think a drop of red food colouring would work just as well.

Hi, I make a ginger tea most days - not sure of the right method, but I drop an inch, bashed, into a mug, top with boiling water and leave to steep for 5 mins - delicious x x

I like the sound of that, may have to try it!

I just use old wine bottles - plenty of those in my house :rotfl:

I checked the glass recycling box - 3 britta filters and a cracked jar with no lid!!!

I will ransack my recycling bin for you as well then

Today I have been mostly... Fleabaying. Inspired by ChopinonaBudget, I went through my whole DVD collection today and listed loads I know I will never watch again. Have now lost the will to live :rotfl:The proceeds will go towards the extra curtain rings I need in the dining room. When I was working (and felt rich even if I wasn't) I bought some very expensive, solid brass curtain poles for the two dining room windows. By the time we'd got round to putting them up I realised I needed double the number of curtain rings but, by then, I'd stopped work and couldn't justify spending the money. I'm fed up of looking at them half finished now so my Fleabay earnings will be going in that direction.


Other MS activity:

• the remains of yesterday's Chorizo and Vegetable Pasta Bake for dinner tonight
• cut the last of the rhubarb from the garden and made a Rhubarb and Pear Crumble (a treat for Mr F who had his head stitches out today ). Plenty of rhubarb left over so I will make that into compote tomorrow
• Waitr0$£ delivered. Free mushrooms, tomatos, avocados and noodles plus a large bag of rocket for the price of a small one (substitute) :T. I love Wait0$£.
• Mr F got paid today so I did the monthly money shuffle. £900 going into the savings but we need to keep £800 of that for the new gates so not much change to my signature figures
• two small PADs to the savings

Off to learn how to save lives now.

Friday tomorrow :j
