I've got some seeds from a couple of years ago-going to try and grow some veg and flowers with them-fingers crossed.

Cheap seeds in B&M I hear, think there's one in your work town.

I've still not managed to plan any meals
However, Tonight we are having minced beef and onion in gravy with potatoes and veg- courtesy of the £1.00 bargain 670g minced beef (yellow stickered) and cheap diced onion (2p a bag yellow stickered)
Hoping to have some left over for tomorrow-maybe.

i never seem to get any of these yellow stickered bargains .. did you have some left over?

i know its like turning a page over in a book or something isnt it? when i put them out they were in and out of the bin many times believe me, but i had to get rid of them as they were many many years old and last year i didnt have a good harvest at all so i thought it would try with new seeds this year and see if things improve any

Woo hoo I finally have my visa connected to my online h@lifax app ... I can see that they have paid me my £5 monthly payment as well so that has been transferred to the savings account and will be paid off the mortgage on the 20th along with any other money accrued, the am@zon money came through as well so I have put half into the ISA and half into the savings account for the mortgage as well

Mr el has decided he is going strict again with his dieting so the menu plan I did the other night will be re done tonight ... He wants to get to below 13 stone by the time we go on holiday ... I would live to myself as well but it's highly unlikely lol


Not much else really happening just now ... Just plodding on

Hope every one is good

Hi el,

Lots of fruit and veg, lean meat, poultry, fish, seafood, rice, pasta, grains with measured milk, cheese, cereals, bread and limited sweet stuff.
Try to cook without oil if you can.

Thanks thistle, I think he's wanting to do the low carb high protein high fat approach this time ... Well I know that's what worked for him before ... Will talk to him about it though

Good tip about the menu planning and sticking to it - it does make a terrific difference. I plan to climb back on the 'diet' wagon Monday as I have a piggy weekend planned!

Well done on getting some of the garden done El,

I need to get myself organised and start getting the jungle cleared, I'm running out of time already if I want to plant seeds

I too have been guilty of not going with a meal plan recently, and have been regretting it in my purse! Makes such a difference to the budget. That's something else I want to get done by the end of the weekend:cool:

Hope things are a bit more settled at work, and they've not been trying to rope you in for more hours again.

Angel xx
