    Well I've gone over my target of £160, I'm now up to £172. But if I deduct the holiday booze we got then I'm only up to roughly £120. Eek that's rather a lot of drink we've got! :eek:

    Well I'm pretty frustrated - have woken with a bad neck today, and can't drive or carry heavy weights. Picked up bread to be getting one with, but also had to buy some not-very-MSE convenience meals, totalling £8 for 2 days of food... I can't wait to be able to cook again!

    Needed cheering up tonight so me and DD made mug cakes from Budget Bytes. She had a dollop of Nutella in the centre of hers, I had a dollop of peanut butter. Lovely. I would cook them for less time next time, 45 sec rather than a minute. If you have baking ingredients on hand it is a quick treat.

    We had braised steak with roast potatoes and cabbage/carrots + onion for dinner. I cooked some jacket potatoes to put in the fridge for no oven days ahead.

    Tonight we had Deep fried Camembert with a salad. Never had it before although it has been on my list to try for ages. Not as runny as I expected but was nice and would have it again. Had fresh fruit for afters to make up for the frying!!!
