Evening all!

My biggest spending day of 2015 so far: £23.95. About half of that was containers with lids for taking to work/freezing, and the other half was milk, fruit, veg and as much 1/2 price margarine as I could carry home

My first non-breadmaker attempt at bread is rising on the counter... wish me luck.

Spent £1 on milk. Shouldn't need anything else till the weekend.
Had friends round tonight instead of going out, have enough spag bol left to do the two of us dinner on Wed so that's a bonus.

Another NSD today.
Will more than likely need some fruit & veg tomorrow but going to try really hard to leave it until Thursday when we go to A!di.
Our 2nd nearest co-op is shutting at the end of this month so may take a trip down there to see if any good reductions nearer the date.

Tonight we had pork chop, mash potato, cabbage, carrots and the last of the sprouts and green beans. Took photo before gravy was poured on.

Didn't manage to grab any milk earlier, so will have to get some tomorrow
