NSD again here, sig updated!

DH is getting on my nerves a bit... he just keeps trying to find ways to spend money :mad:

We had to nip into town earlier to drop some stuff off at the CS... I left my handbag at home on purpose. Thank goodness too as DH wanted to "have a look" around town, which would have ended in him pestering me to buy stuff... so I am glad I was prepared and didn't have any money or cards on me. He soon lost interest when he found out :money:

My veg soup was horrible too I tried to add some spices to make it more palatable but there was no saving it... I hate it when that happens

Not sure what I am doing for dinner tonight... maybe just Qu0rn nuggets, HM chips and beans... Or I have the ingredients in for a ratatouille lasagne...

A NSD for me today. I shall probably need to buy more potatoes and some crisps for the kids tomorrow as I forgot to get some with the shopping I will just take my coin purse with me I think, just so I'm not tempted by any of the january sale bargains (which I probably won't need but might want if I see them). Having a roast tonight, using up a leg of lamb I bought when on offer so should do for sandwiches or a curry tomorrow too
