  • Oh my, fallen off the wagon in terms of budgeting and the diet! Will get back on track once I work out the financial damage.

    NSD here.
    Back slightly better today - so what did I do?
    Painted three new interior doors then hoovered upstairs of house!
    Dinner was HM wedges + baked beans + poached eggs.
    Can you tell - got a lot of eggs here?
    Not spent much considering it is December. I already have - tin of biscuits, box of shortbread, after eight mints, fruit jellies, christmas pudding, pringles, sage & onion stuffing + leg of pork.
    There is only the two of us.
    So not a lot to get apart from fresh.
    All presents wrapped and labelled.

    The question Why? hovers on my lips if your back is bad. You should delegate ;) and nurse your back so you ok for Chrissy - someone has to cook the dinner. Only joking.


    I had an NSD today, cleaned most of the place and cooked the leg of lamb I bought yesterday. It was super. Thought someone might like the recipe

    Spend of £2 last night on milk (!!!!) because the only place open was the garage by the time I was on my way home and Mr Mooo didn't think to go to the shops himself :mad:

    Planned spends today include cat litter and some other bits and bobs.

    Hope everyone has a lovely day ♥
  • Got my final £20 out of the cash point for the next 9 days...
    I have lots in the freezer though and the next week is basically eating at relatives :)

    The January one will be up soon, probably just under this one on the old style board.
