    Evening all. Well I think I've only blown my nose twice today which is a record :T Deff having a better Friday than I was this time last week, seems OH is also on the mend too.

    Declaring NSD #8 here, I did pick up a couple of bits in Tacto at lunch but I used the grocery card for that so it didn't come out of my pocket. Need to sort out where we are on budgets now, was doing quite well this month until all these little incidental shops due to being poorly.

    Btw, I got some sliced (cooked) meats in Tacto last night (whoopsied from the Deli counter) does anyone have any idea whether I could freeze these at all? Would be handy to freeze them into lunch portions as OH is veggie so it's only me who'll use them.

    Hi Kerri

    Glad you are feeling better. :D
    I am a very sad git in that I buy my bread rolls and cooked meat or cheese once a week and spend ten minutes making my sarnies for the whole week and freezing them. I take them out when I leave for work and they are nicely fresh and defrosted at lunchtime :). I find wholemeal type bread works better but some can be a bit dry. put salad in separate bag to add later:rotfl:

    Have good weekend everyone - off to work :eek:
    Debt -it's a fight that I'm winning, dealing with debt one day at a time.

    Hi charleybear - if you only buy budgeted Christmas presents, I wouldn't count it as a spend day.....I found if I was spending out of a proper budget and counting it as a spend day, I stopped trying not to spend anything else. I think everyone has slightly different rules as to what is counted but this approach works for me - happy shopping :j

    And on that note, yesterday was another NSD (an actual, no cash from any budget one) which takes me to #16

    Freeby, it's nice to see a wee update from you - I did notice you were popping on with the update and nothing else. It does get manic sometimes eh?

    Have a great weekend NSD buddies :A
