Evening all


Managed another NSD here today. I was planning on a little shopping trip but it's been raining, cold and grey most of the day, so changed my mind.


We had chilli (freezer) and HM wedges for dinner.


Hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday

Yet another NSD for me today!! :j

My hairdresser friend didn't turn up so I managed to make my milk last all day as it was just me so I'll get some tomorrow instead. My Mum got her hairdresser to fit me in tomorrow and although it's probably going to cost me a fortune, he's brilliant and as I've just bagged myself a job interview on Thursday at least I will look good for that! :rotfl:

I've had a super productive day sorting things out and making the most of being off sick from work! Lots of tidying and eating up bits and bobs from the fridge and cupboards, bagged myself a job interview, rang up about renewing my tenancy agreement, and best of all, when I rang to give my meter readings we discovered I was nearly £400 in credit so my monthly direct debit has been reduced from £115 to £26!!! So, my outgoings are now £89 a month less!!!!! I think that means I can afford that haircut tomorrow But on a serious note, I will be able to chuck a bit more money at my debts and also start putting money aside so I can start a part time evening course Now, I just need to get out of this horrible job and into a nicer one and everything will be hunky dory!! :j

Hope everyone is having a good week so far

Cooked with what I have except I bought hot dog buns a few days ago. So,
Chili cheese and onion hot dogs. Not healthy, but ohhhh so very yummy. Sometimes i just have to have a little junk food. My Hunk agrees! :D

Spent £12-26 in Asda yesterday, £6 on 3 Clematis, the rest were items for store cupboard I had £4-10 worth of coupons for, they were running out soon, dropping a friend to Hospital app this morning, right by Lidl and Morrisons, so will pop in for a few bits, probably blow my budget, BUT, if I work it right may not need to shop again this month.
Updated my signature, hopefully what I have got now will last till May.

MERFE

Didn't need too much this week as we have lots of frozen extra portions to use up so just had to get some fruit, veg, cereals, milk, bread, cheese etc.

£32.86 spend

I'm at 260.67 out of 330

I've only got £44 left in my purse though, will have to work out where the rests gone, possibly chicken food. /my husband usually gets their feed but I got some this week. That is probably it, blooming expensive eggs.

We are going okay this month mostly due to a large DR order of meat and a Costco run which has filled the freezer with meat and poultry. I used my 2nd purse money for this and will pay it back according to what we use. Means I only need to buy fruit, veg, bread and milk on a weekly basis.


Still no job for DH but the garden is looking lovely

bm's £13.95
tossco £11.48
p****world £3.00
Ald! £56.52
