Always happy for visitors RR . God love you, reading all my drivel. There's tons of it :eek: Glad I've made you smile though
So lunch ready for tomorrow and breakfast sandwiches. Stew defrosting for tomorrow night and also 3 packs of mince that I will get into the slow cooker and make lots of something. Haven't decided yet whether spag bol, mince or chilli but it will be lots and lots of whatever it is and will be used for at least 4 or 5 meals so it better taste fab. I think it will be spag bol as I have peppers and mushrooms for using up and they will pad out the mince.
So nearly all the junk food has been eaten in the house so hopefully we can get all nice and healthy from tomorrow.
I will away and try and sleep now. I was dreading going to work tomorrow until I read a post on facebook from someone who has no job to go to tomorrow as he is unemployed and desperately seeking work. This made me feel a bit ashamed so I will do my best to put a wee spring in my step and face the day with a smile. G'night folks xx5 Year plan.

MIT walks in hanging her head in shame
. She should be sacked as a money saver.
Oh well at least I wrote it in my spending diary
Took £5 only to work today as had lottery to pay. Turned out we are getting it for free this month. Great!! Did I hear someone say great MIT there's a £5 saved?? Well you would think that wouldn't you but silly MIT decided she didn't want her nice healthy lunch and had a twirl, irn bru, potatoes and sausage casserole £4.45 spent.
She then went and got her nails done for another £10 She is so naughty :mad:
Never mind. I had decided that I was going to continue getting my nails done as it is the only money I spend on myself and I totally love getting them done.
Watching living dolls on channel 4 and although I am very much a live and let live person !!!!!! !!!! They are scarier than anything I have seen on Dr Who. Even scarier than the angels. I am flummoxed :eek:
Anyway casserole from freezer for dinner and will put on spag bol in slow cooker tomorrow ready for coming in from work. Should do a fair few portions. Big freezer is about half way down now but still lots and I have an ASDA delivery coming tomorrow as I still have my free delivery. I'll get another delivery next week and that will be an end to them.
I'll be back tomorrow xx5 Year plan. April 2020 to June 2025- CC and mortgage free by time I'm 60

Hahahahaha!:rotfl:Living dolls!!! Have recorded this (was watching Benefits Streets :eek: ) Had to cover daughter's eyes (still up late) when that weirdness came on! So plastic!!! :rotfl:

I never watched benefits street but am sure I've seen and heard it all before RR. I'll see if it's on catch up later.
LAM I may appear organised but I swear the more I make the more is eaten. I made at least enough for 3 meals tonight and was up at 6.30 chopping peppers this morning for slow cooker spag bol BUT DD made the spaghetti and served up the food and there isn't even enough for 1 night left :eek:. In saying that her 6'7 BF came for dinner ( again) and he takes some feeding I tell you.
I am very excited tonight as my uni book has arrived. I cannot wait to get started. So in 6 months time when I am moaning about being too busy remind me of this moment :rotfl:
I decided this morning that I was in no mood this week to diet and be healthy so I went into co-op on way to work and stocked up with stuff for the week for lunches. I just need to pick up a couple of rolls each morning and I'm set. I spent £9.80 but nothing else. If I can manage to just get rolls the rest of the week then I will be quite happy. I also have 4 bananas that are past their best so I am going to make a chocolate and banana loaf thing to use them up.
So,as I said before I have a months delivery for asda and tonight I was due a delivery but ..... I forgot to check out of my order so it will not be coming. I swear I am losing the plot. Never mind. There was nothing in it except bread that I desperately needed and I have stuff to make a loaf in the bread maker. I will throw that in in 2 minutes. So not too much of a disaster and will save me £45.
I am away now to explore my uni stuff, make bread, make banana loaf and do my banking xx5 Year plan. April 2020 to June 2025- CC and mortgage free by time I'm 60

I watched benefit street and I was like :eek: as well.
I cannot believe that that girl said she would try prison because her benefit had been stopped :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: Her benefit had been stopped as she had been found to be fraudulently claiming benefit and basically stealing from the tax payers !! And her oh so intelligent answer to that was that she would 'try' prison. Dear God I despair :eek: :rotfl:5 Year plan. April 2020 to June 2025- CC and mortgage free by time I'm 60
