Hi PB, could you share the body scrub "recipe" AFTER you've finished your assignments please?

*Salutes* Yes, SSS!

On top of food stuff, I bought myself a food composter for £20.00. The ruddy council haven't emptied my bins again and there are flies buzzing around them. :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

Sooooo, I spent £1 on chocolate today and yesterday (£2 total) plus some supermarket spends this evening plus £1 milk at work.

Went into the shop near work and had to pay for the milk with a £5 note. I got 2 x £2 coins in change plus discovered a third one in my purse form yesterday.

It has been a while since I've had any, but my terrimundi clearly has a starve-then-binge attitude to life.

I'm not too good at that! In fact, that's not too bad a time for me!

So, today's spends:

£1.00 chocolate.
£6.50 yoga (still worth it)
£21.99 food but mainly a bargainous chiminea down from £29.99 to £22.99 that scanned at £12.99! :T

Hello PB popped over to see how you're doing. Erm, as well as chimineas, there's a lot of chocolate :kisses3: and not much sleep, ouch.

Home made body scrub definitely sounds lovely though - thats the sort of thing I'll have time to do now, loving that.

Yes, there is rather a lot of chocolate. I have come to the conclusion that I must be some type of emotional.stress eater. I think I trained myself to thinking that when I am studying I deserve a treat and since I can't go anywhere, chocolate is the answer. Or sweets. I'm an equal-opportunities sugar consumer.

£2 more to the terrimundi, which is looking round and smug in the corner.

Food bought today but can't remember how much I spent. Once this studying is over I am going to start cooking from scratch ruthlessly!!!

Oh, and tax refund cheque cashed in high interest 'savings' account.

I used to do that with sugar, so I really know the feel of that. At one stage, I was buying chocolate from several different stores on purpose, so I wouldn't get comments from shop assistants, I'm not kidding

I don't do it with sugar any more, for some reason, it's savoury foods - cheese, pesto, etc, and I decided that in the runup to retirement I'd just let myself do it, but I need to take it in hand now (clothes are getting tight :eek:).

Just think of the flavoursome yumminess you can create on your chiminea now, seriously - it will be lovely.

Hi guys!

I'm back.

It has been oh such a very long time.

I'll post more tomorrow but I just needed to pop my head above the parapet as I have been reading for a long time but not posting and it is so easy to keep going in the same vein.

See you [STRIKE]tomorrrow[/STRIKE] later today.
