    Good to see you back PD, we have spent loads of money in the house in the last few years, drive, window, patio, kitchen, boiler. Doubt it's added any value whatsoever but makes it nicer living here!

    Merry Chrimble to all xx

    hope everyone had a lovely day yesterday. We were spoilt rotten again. Plan for today is a productive pj day... pottering about at my own speed, moving things to the right room if I CBA to put them away fully.

    We had a very generous gift from the outlaws which will enable us to achieve a lot more around the house in 2015 then we had previous planned. A chunk of time today will be spent dreaming up ways to get the best bang for our unexpected windfall.

    was a billybargain hunter in aldi on chrustmas eve - almost all their veg was 10/20p an item. My kitchen now resembles a greengrocers :eek: Lots of chopping, prepping, blanching and freezing to be done in between munching mince pies and playing with our new toys!

    Good to have you back PD and that generous gift sounds much appreciated.

    We are on a mission too not to throw any food away as we have loads leftover and are out for dinner today! Great bargain hunting in @ld1!
