Paid off the £31,000! BUT - still scrimping!

Never gotten around to a Marie Kondo but with DD1 hogging the Tv and the fact that it’s raining out maybe I should start to tidy up the chest of drawers!!

Hi there @brizzlegirl !😀

I usually buy the bog standard Oatly milk but I do have a carton of the barista version ready to open as I couldn't get two of my regular sort last time I went shopping. I hope it's ok in filtered coffee and porridge!

Ooh thanks for the oat milk hint girls, I shall try and add some to my Mr T shop for next week and try it out.  
Another one waiting with baited breath for Kon Marie Season 2........and 3...........and 4
Have you seen the "My home made perfect" Series.  Its not about cleaning and organisation but the house designs and the VR they use to showcase them are fab

Another filtered coffee fan here  I use french style strength 5 in a cafetiere at home and the Taylors decaff coffee bags at work.  I was spending too much on McCafe coffees but strangely enough I'm not at the moment!!

I watched the first series of My Home Made Perfect and have recorded the new series ready to watch. I rather like that nice Scottish architect who has some fantastic ideas, but I think I find his rival's designs more  down to earth and perhaps easier to live with!

My go to coffee at home is Taylor's Lazy Sunday blend.  I started using Aldi coffee pods at the office as we have a Nespresso type machine for staff - they're really ok and very cheap. Saved me a fortune in Pret coffees every day!

Yes his designs are out there but oh so good.  I love the series.  Im also hooked on the american shows featuring the property brothers.  They are a bit cheesy (ok alot) but do some lovely designs.
I like the aldi french roast coffee but we are avoiding aldi at the moment as it seems packed.

We usually have the Aldi beans for the coffee machine but also avoiding bigger shops.  The bulk buy Lavassa is lovely and I may struggle to down brand afterwards.

I found the Lavassa was a bit too fine for my cafetiere and I have to be honest I do love the aldi.  Does your machine grind the beans @redofromstart?

redofromstart

@moving_forward yes it grinds the beans, I have an awful coffee habit and a bean to cup machine.   We usually do May half term in France and buy the years coffee beans, but couldn't last year due to GCSEs.

Half term in France - wow now I'm mega jealous!!! I haven't been to france in many years and mr M_F has never been.  Its on our to do list when we don't have small furry's to consider and obviously I hope we have them for many years to come.
