    Grrrrrrr:mad:

    I know this is going to sound really stupid but I've just got home from work to find a whole pack of perfectly good tomatoes in the bin. Hubby said one was on the turn so he threw out the whole packet. I was even tempted to pick them out of the bin and put them back!

    I'm trying so hard and yet things seem to get in the way.........

    Rant over!

    Hubby has been told, I don't think he will be doing it again. I've probably frightened him from going near the fridge or the bin again!!! :rotfl:

    drag em out..I'll eat them!!!:D

    I would go mental as well - Get them out, give 'em a rinse and they'll be fine!!!

    After my mammoth - to me anyway- shop yesterday, it made me sort my freeze out properly. As I didn't have much work on today, I have made 3 fish pies, one for tonight, the other two in freezer for later date. I also used up some bendy celery and blue cheese and made soup. I haven't actually tried it yet and never made it before so could be a few lunches for me or for the dogs!

    Only been out to walk the dogs and a spend free day for me today

    What an excellent use of bendy celery! I currently have some in the fridge past its best, although im not much of a cheese fan. What could i use instead that will go?

    .

    I'm not sure? I used up a fair bit of strong cheese and can only just taste it. I guess using less or milder cheese you wouldn't get the cheese taste but makes the celery a bit less bland

    I had some tonight and am actually impressed with it :)

  • Hello everyone!!!
    Long time no speakee.... Oh Ive missed you all xxx
    I am now finally back on line at home after changing phone providers and someone acknowledging that the problem with my connection was from the house to the main grid:T:T:T.
    June ended up not being to bad - 18 SFDs and only went over on my food budget, so quite pleased with that!
    Im going to bystand this month but try and stick to the rules, however it will be a spendy month as new bathroom is currently in working process. Definitely on for August tho:o

    Hi all

    SFD No 2 today :). I had fallen back into bad frittering ways so this is great.

    I requested a paying in book from my bank and it has arrived today. I got a cheque from my car insurance for over charging me by a whole £6.08:). I will pop cheque into post tomorrow.

    Cheers NSK for letting me claim 1 spend day for my nephews swimming. The little blighters aren't able to make it this Thurs so money saved:)
