    Bargain Dinner for us tonight!

    Only 25p out of this week's food budget spent!

    Sausages from the freezer, barley risotto made with cheese from the freezer, butter from the freezer, shallots, thyme & celery salt from the stores and some gifted pot barley! Spend was on 1/2 large head of fresh brocoli!

    Still on a mission to 'shop' from home to use up the stocks!

    BTW - OH said to tell you he'd decided on barley risotto before I read him your mealplan!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I did my 15 minutes of decluttering in the bedroom and wowser - £1.76 :money:

    You should have your own show!! How many weeks now is it that you've been home shopping?

    I guess it is sort of free now - although I'm pondering what to splurge the rest of the loot on.:rotfl:

    And barely risotto with sausages sounds lush!!

    :D

  • From the flylady.....

    Your mission for today is to grab a trash bag, set the timer and start tossing anything that is trash. Just toss toss toss. Sometimes we have hidden trash in our bedrooms, things that are disguising themselves as necessary items but really they are trash. Toss those magazines, the junk mail that has been tossed in a pile, the old perfumes that are never worn but still have a place on your dresser, the old clothes that are on the chair that need to be donated or tossed but are still there, empty tissue boxes etc. Toss toss toss!

    Look around your bedroom and ask yourself if there is anything laying around that you would consider trash if it was in a hotel room. Your bedroom should be your very favorite retreat!
