Urk sorry haven't posted for ages... been really busy at work .. but still on track so far.. found a load of M+S vouchers in the drawer so might use them to subsidise spending if it gets too tight towards end of month.

I'm all meal planned for next week (freezer stuff) but thinking of getting another chicken as this week's rubber chicken was brill (roast on sun, chick curry mon night, chick + sweetcorn quiche tue night and then the leftover quiche did wed/thur packed lunch too! )

Bacon and pasta with tin of toms and pesto for tea tonight

Have a fab weekend all x

Impressive cooking skills!

No shopping for me today. I will be throwing together a rather large salad to use up fresh fruit and veg in my fridge.
But I am happy to report that all is looking rather good on the spend front at the moment.:T

Hi everyone,

Loving the Japanese meal Bluegreen143 :T

Had lunch out with friends from a different budget today. Also got some Xmas pressies in the sales to put away :money:

Paid 2nd purse back for stock used this week - £29.60 - need to update my totals.

Children plus DS1's friend are having hm pizzas tonight. DH and I are having a takeaway with BIL and newbie GF. Still stuffed from lunch so may just have a starter

Have a good evening everyone.

LOVING the Japanese meal Bluegreen143! :T

Had a bit of a mare today - Poundl*nd for a wander with the kids cost me £11 (though that did include 3 for 2 on jars of Lloyd Grossman pasta sauces - the only readymade sauce we do eat. Handy to have in for lazy teas once baby #3 arrives in 7 weeks :eek:), then a further £6.59 at A*di for bread and fruit for the weekend. I'm grateful we've only 14 days left for this month - think I've took my eye off the ball a few times, as also hit HomeBarg*ins earlier in the week for bargains, yes, but probably non essential. Will update signature. Fingers crossed half term doesn't turn into an eating fest! Happy Weekend GCers :j

Bluegreen - I love sushi - what did you use in the sushi rolls? I still have some sushi rice to use up and fancy it now...

Well, I'm a bit cross at myself, spending another £2.90 on a dozen eggs and a bag of potatoes. I know they're staples, but I feel like I should be trying to use what I've got first, AND trying to save petrol by not driving there on a whim. Sigh. It'll get better next week.

I'll update my sig now. Up to £251.50 for the year so far.

Have a lovely evening, everyone.
