    Made the school cheese pie from the recipie index last night, it was voted a success by all including the very fussy ds2.

    Must check through the fridge and freezer and meal plan the rest of the week. I've already planned pancakes for tonight.

    2 1/2 weeks in and spent £43.00 odd in Sains on Sunday but should not need to go there again this month...I always spend too much when I go in there! I spent £17.00 odd in Waitrose on Saturday but had my Granddaughter staying so bought bits I would not normally buy as treats for her! Now on £193.02 /£350 and my freezers are totally full so won't need to shop till Sunday. I am totally loving this not having to shop as much, less shopping equals less temptation!
    Take care all.x

    £11 in Iceland. haven't been in for ages but had a lift back today so could restock the freezer without stuff defrosting on bus ride home. Got quorn mince, quorn chicken fillets , quorn sausage salmon fillets, sea bass and frozen peas.
    Two freezer drawers were empty and I defrosted it at the weekend. Still eating our way through the other three drawers this month though.
    Will update signature later but still on target for February so far :)

    Bit of a hefty total for me this week £56.35 in Sainsbugs, £11.25 for Abel & Cole and £25.97 for cat food and litter giving me a total of £93.57 for the week. The meat will last us a few weeks and the cat is now sorted for the next couple of months.

    Hoping to have a couple of NSDs this week (although, today is one).
    How long til pay day? :eek:
