    I've not been up to much today, mainly recovering from my trip to the big smoke yesterday - it was freeeeezing out there, but my friend is a Bradford supporter so I had to be there to soak up the atmosphere :D

    Today I have / will:
    1. Dinner from stores
    2. Cheap breakfast and lunch at work
    3. Bought a weekly split ticket, and saved £10 by splitting
    4. Bought some socks 1/2 price in sainsbos
    5. Checked onepoll
    6. Read paper online and freebie paper on the train
    7. Need to have a shower and an early night
    8. Need to make lunch for tomorrow
    9. Washing on quick wash

    Must try harder tomorrow

    Savvy Shopper! I've been Money Tipped!
    I made a really nice dinner tonight that was also really cheap. Jerk chicken. I cooked 4 chicken thighs, which fed 3 of us with 1 spare. Then cooked a cup of white rice, 1 pepper, 1 onion, 2 carrots, 1 tin of kidney beans, and topped with cheese, and a scattering of 2 thinly sliced hot dogs. Oh and some jerk chicken spices to flavour it. Really really yummy. I was saying to OH I could easily make exactly the same dinner but swap in white fish and prawns instead of chicken and hot dog. Anyway, thats my efforts for the evening :)

    Just had to share a fantastic fb thing. Spotted..... I have liked 2 pages - one for train commuters and one for my home town. Fantastic
