Good evening

Bluegreen143 - Those pasties look yummy!

Today I had a milkshake/smoothie made with a banana, YS strawberries, milk, YS blueberries and YS innocent smoothie tubes for breakfast Then me and OH shared a picnic lunch of cheese rolls, crisps, YS doughnuts and YS grapes. Had to buy some drinks whilst we were out because we don't own any small bottles (must keep these ones when they're empty so we can refill them in the future!), so that's added £1.99 to my total. Not feeling like a proper dinner, so think I'll just have a cup of tea and some weetabix and possibly another YS doughnut Also got some YS tapas potatoes in tomato sauce that probably need using, so might have them too.

Desperately need to have a tidy of the house, so might try and motivate myself to do the freezer inventory at the same time!

Evening all! yet another NSD for me today. I nearly bought bread but we are using the leftover salad from tonights' dinner with ham for OH's lunch at work tomorrow instead of sandwiches. I have some bread which is a bit too dry for sarnies which I will take into work with some BB's for my lunch. SO no spending and I am using up my leftovers. But I have my meat and veg box delivery on Friday so I will be spending then. And Im really looking forward to my bottle of wine on Friday evening. All this saving is going to make a bit of a (controlled) spend on some Vino all the nicer! Hope your all sticking to your budgets

Thanks Bluegreen!

sheeppappar - hope you like the chicken

Spend of £6.01 in Mr W today on sweet potatoes, parmesan (I can have cheese on my pasta dishes even if my housemate can't...), red chillis, pasta, passata and my guilty secret - peanut flavoured Bamba.

Had leftovers from last night in wraps for lunch and made Jerk chicken with coriander and chilli crushed sweet potatoes served with sweetcorn for dinner.

Tomorrow will have a ready made from the freezer for lunch. For dinner an easy meal of pasta puttanesca to use up the rest of a tin of anchovies my housemate used in a meal recently.

Breakfast will be toast and jam tomorrow - need a change from Marmite (love it normally but I get bored easily).

Have a good evening all...

Evening everyone. Hope you're all well. I've had an NSD today - yay - and have been given 6 massive potatoes from my lovely Mum (as well as her cooking tea for us both tonight). It's been a real luxury.

It's looking likely that we'll need bananas before the week is out, and I may well need to get something for Sunday - plans are up in the air at the moment as we may have to host guests but no plans have been made yet. Argh! Anyway, hope everyone has a nice evening. I'm off for a bit of a browse before bed. Night, all!
