Quiet on here ATM, is everyone still recovering from Igors last catering foray?

Well technically the weekend for me now as have tomorrow off :j seems I need it as my friend told me I looked tired today, unfortunately I'm starting the day with boot camp :rotfl:

Just did a quick scan of the fridge and cupboards and seems there is quite a lot I should make use of. Freezer is pretty full too if a little disorganised so perhaps a tidy up of that and a stocktake wouldn't go amiss. Seem to have a lot of bacon in there, and suggestions?

Oh, and NSF #16 in the bag today. Got some sauce in £stretcher but as it's the start of the month payday-wise I have a little float from the grocery budget.

Hi all I have made it to NSD 14. Which is great looks like I'm going to get to target. Had the shock of my life calculated my money for April (I've not even been paid yet) and I'm going to be in a minus when all my bills come out:eek: I've got a week off in April with the kids and wanted to go to the cinema with them or do something like that with them looks like knocking my ideas on the head. Need to get lots of nsds next month nessesity mind you have nothing to spend.

Morning everyone.

Sorry Ive been AWOL again, baba's teething again and really suffering so we're a bit all over the place with sleep and routine so have struggled to get on here. Will try and catch up later, hubby's home so can be in charge of little one for a bit.

I did nab NSD # 8 yesterday though.

Hi all, I'd really like to join in, but it's probably a bit late for March!

Will someone set up an April thread?

It's never too late to join, but even if you don't want to set a target for the last days of March, stick around and enjoy the chat. A new thread for April will be set up by one of the lovely thread guardians and a link to it is usually posted on here. Welcome aboard! X

There's lots you can do without spending, picnics (outside or even in the living room if it's raining), nature walks, treasure trails (not sure how old your kids are so not quite sure what might be appropriate) do you have any club card or nectar points you could look to use for something? Failing that, is there any wiggle room in the budget? Our local Odeon does cheap tickets on a Tues and 25% off odeon club members on a Monday. Perhaps you could look to be creative with the grocery money and free up some pennies that way?
