2) Made casserole with chicken livers bought reduced from Mr T. Pleased because its my first attempt at using cheaper cuts of meat, and its nice!
3) Looking after my winter boots by cleaning and polishing them

So many pleasures this weekend, here are my best five.

1. Buying a large piece of half price beef and cutting it in half - two nice joints for the festive season.

2. Making lovely yogurt, from Mr. S basics dried milk. One pack (60p) makes two 1 ltr batches with some to spare.

3. Making rasberry jam from frozen rasberries to flavour my HM yogurt.

4. Baking oat crunch biscuits.

5. Thinking (hoping) that I have now got my OS ways back on track to help us cope in retirement next year.

Two big pleasures today:
Waking up at 8 a.m. in the dark and wet and turning back over for a further snooze. After a lifetime of getting up at 6 a.m. and grinding along some miserable motorway to earn a living, being in charge of your own daily timetable is sheer bliss.
And being in a nice dry house ( no heating needed), watching the puddles build up outside and knowing I don't have to go out.
