    I will be having a NSD all day, I left my purse at home :D.
    I'm sorting things out for my weekend away tonight, then if I've time I'll try and menu plan for hubby. Though he still says he'll be happy with soup and cheese. I'm not sure I want him eating quite that much cheese.

    Then tomorrow I can buy any bits he wants after tea.

    Good afternoon! I managed an NSD today for the first time in a while, and only spent £2.88 yesterday :D I picked up quite a few of the M Savers stuff to try and they have an offer on certain packs of veg (Savoy cabbages, onions, carrots, etc) for 50p a pack, so I got a bag of onions as the ones I've picked up were looking a bit ... small. Just as good, but it's fiddly peeling them!

    Tea tonight is going to be Black Bean Chicken with Noodles, and a nice hot bath for relaxation. :) It is a long week!

    Take care, and have a good evening all. Keep warm.
