Not bad for a saturday and invoiced wombles for three extra days this month. :T more to catch up on as I was almost two months ahead of hours - now I'm only 5 weeks :rotfl:

Also have a new project to bill for (10 hours so far) but its not finished until late April so likely bill all at once for that one.

:money:

Off to give the pesky hens some kale and check out egg production statistics.

Done 2 hours womble today. More tomorrow.

Must try and get more of that list done.

Domestic goddess indeed RIP poor old cucumber, so sad when that happens, and I bet it's not often in your house :rotfl: Yay for bargains though :j Just done a bit of yellow stickering myself although not on your scale Some basil and coriander for 44p, yesterday got a couple of bags of rocket for 25p each and some tubs of chopped onions reduced to 10p :j

Sounding fabby Mrs Cheery!

The poor cucumber was so bad I couldn't even give it to the hens. Never mind attempt to make some kind of dodgy soup with it.

I've moved the 'fruit and veg' basket up higher in the fridge I hope that sorts my food neglect. I hate throwing stuff away and please dont' tell work I'll get sacked.

:cool:

I shall give the hens a wee pat from you! Peedie and Haggis are snoring in front of the woodstove.

Adding to my domestic fabulousness - cooking mushing up strawberries which were reduced and red and hard as bricks. They are now a kind of yummy jam.

Must raid our freezer - I know there's a giant pile of gooseberries in there, no idea what else is hiding behind the usual stuff

they are indeed cheerful and freezers can hold many delights cheery.

these two are just chasing birds and generally being a bit pesky.

nothing changes. Although I did capture peedie actually running a couple of days ago.....I'm still in shock.

Mon - salmon and leek something or other and roast tatties and sparrow grass (Wiks dad coming to stay) all reduced.

Tues - spag bog (HM in freezer) with 20p pasta

Wed - out for tea me, himself there's a King Prawn made up meal in the freezer or more spag bog.

Thurs - Fish of some description - hake probably with tatties/veggies

Fri - possibly soupy tea or a takeaway if we've a mind.

Working garden - Mon Tues - hosp Wed might do a half day, Thurs to make up for Wed.
Working home - Wednesday am early til leave for hosp and Friday all day.

Sounds like a plan.

Must sort out some lunches too. I have a pot of carrot soup made up so far. Lots of rolls in the freezer. Might make up some breakfast rolls with leftover bits from brekkie today. Can't see a random sausage lying around now can we.

Frozen seafood stock.

Duck bones bubbling on the stove for stock

If anyone is invloved in a charity which supports people by helping with food.

They should check out this - heard about it a few times now at local networking meetings.

Some of the larger supermarkets are signing up to offer a 'food cloud' resource to folks.

Might mean this reduces the amount of food going to landfill significantly.

Might also mean whoopsies become a bit less common but if its feeding those in need rather than going in the bin, I'll happily alter my shopping habits.

Share with anyone which might be able to benefit from it.
