  • Evening folks. Another day, another dollar :D

    Had to spend money today though. Well ok then I didn't have to but I did :o

    Bought breakfast, lunch and dinner :eek: £7.70 in total

    Also bought 2 tops as nothing fits and I am like a tramp :mad:

    I have loads of food in house but with 2 teenagers I was getting incessant moans that there were no munchies. So I bought loads of cheap smart price biccies and jaffa cakes are only 50p so bought a couple of them. All in all including the clothes I spent £48 in ASDA but this included £6.50 from gift fund.

    I then got my nails done which was £10 :eek:

    Am away to bed ashamed of myself :o

    But I am getting £31 for my knitting so not all bad news ;)

  • EEW I have had a yucky tummy bug since lunchtime. Feel awful but definitely better than I did :(. I am not a good patient. I have no time to be ill nor any patience. Thank goodness no work tomorrow. Felt rough after lunch and said to my deputy that I felt awful and she said she did too. I had to leave office at 3pm as was back and forward to loo and just wanted home before things got too bad.

    Spent £2.30 on lunch ( well that was a waste of money lol) but no other spends.

    Am away to bed now and hopefully feel great in morning xx

  • Feeling fine now folks. Was just a wee 24 hour thing. Yuk at the time but great for weight loss :rotfl:

    Was out for dinner last night to a new Indian restaurant and it was delish !! Put back on any weight I had lost !! Then went on to a wee party. My brother paid for the dinner so that was a bonus as I would have been £60 for me and DS. So I actually spent a £5 for a taxi home. Not bad for a meal and a party :D

    Need to spend today doing housework and studying. House is a minging mess and I haven't yet finished last week's uni work.

    Got my wee kidney procedure on Wednesday so need to get organised before then. I just have no energy and am hoping once I have this done that I will feel a million percent better.

    So I better shimmy my chassis and get on with it xx

  • Have given up cleaning. I'm too shattered. I cannot wait to feel normal again after I get rid of this bloody kidney stone. (MOAN MOAN MOAN) I am going to be superwoman ;)

    Cooking cabbage and cauliflower that I found in fridge. My house smells super delicious.................NOT !!! BOAK but am too miserly to toss them out so I am cooking them off and will freeze them for later use.

    I have done a food inventory and should more or less manage until the end of the month. I might need to buy some fresh food and some cold meat but nothing other than that. Now I just need to remember to stick to that :o. I'm not a shopaholic, I don't even particularly like shopping, but I most definitely am a food shopping addict. I get really antsy if my cupboards are not bulging. It makes me smile and laugh if I am having trouble fitting everything into my 2 freezers. I wonder of I am a foodaholic or just a food shopaholic?? Going to ponder on this one.

    So DD is having chicken pie tonight and DS and I are having sausages. I have croquettes, roasties, cabbage and peas to go with it all. Bit of a mish mash but I forgot to defrost anything.

    No studying done yet but am going to settle down after dinner and get some done. xx
