£2.10 today on eggs from the egg man (I wasn't going to get any this week but he left them while I was away from my desk - need to pay him next week), and a hello fresh box (thank you again solstice)

Any idea how to use about 18 eggs?

can i freeze eggs?

Hi all, food from stocks today, made my own version of the ham, leek and mushroom pie on the recipes list. Cooked leftover gammon, leeks and mushrooms in pork stock, added peas at the end and mixed in quark and fromage frais with garlic and herbs at the end and served it with mash. Going to try it with mustard instead of garlic next time, was delicious and also fits in with Sl*mming World.

How did you make it SW friendly? Did you use filo pastry?

Hello,

I am so glad that the GC lives on! You are right Zippychick, our dear Squeaky, Pink and Rosieben would be proud and I am sure they look and smile at us from the better place where they are now.

Today was an accidental NSD, funny how it happens, I plan one and end up running out of something and got to buy it and scupper the plan. On a day like today, where I had planned a spend, it worked out different, but to my advantage. 5/10 today so there is a faint hope that I might make the challenge. No chance of NSD tomorrow because I have to pay the herbal clinic for my medicine, but maybe the weekend will give me an opportunity. I have to spend on Saturday but it is for a mystery shop that gets reimbursed so I don't count it.

Good night.

£3 spent this week on chocolate for work, some YS lemon sole and cabbage for the bunnies.
So glad you have found someone to help, if the volunteer needs a break let me know and I'll give it a go! I read most of the posts anyway

Didn't manage to get on yesterday to update grocery spends. Spent a total of £42.21 and now stand at £233.52/£250 for month. Payday Tuesday. Have decided to add another weeks money (£50) to my budget so take me to end of the month as it makes things easier using YNAB doing calendar months (hope that makes sense!).


Budget for September now £300 to last to end of month.


Need to update signature.

Hi all, I've had a slew of grocery NSDs (unfortunately the same can't be said for spending in general ) and I'm hoping to continue this until mid next week! Have enough in the cupboards for today/tomorrow, then I'm off to London (all budgeted, though I'm dreading the moment I'm let loose in the Harry Potter studio tour :eek:) on Sunday and I'm having a meal out on Monday. Well under budget atm and it looks to stay that way :j
