Lovely sunny day, managed to get a load of washing out on the line this afternoon


I managed to source some lightbulbs for my kitchen spotlights and the cheapest was home base so I popped in on the way home and they were £2.97 for a box of 4.


All food from stores today - Breakfast was porridge. Lunch was some leftover home made tandoori chicken with half a pack of micro rice and some peas & soy sauce. Dinner will be cheap pork shoulder steaks in spicy sauce with jacket potatoes and salad.


DS is away Friday to sunday. I am going to make a stew in my slow cooker on Friday which should do me a few meals apart from Saturday when friends are coming round. Parsnips leeks swede carrots and onions were all on offer at aldee this weeks super 6 at 45p each when I went yesterday. Will freeze some too.

This sounds healthy and great. Value for money and good for you too. :j

Am fed up and tired today. I have just fallen off the takeaway wagon and had a KFC .. was nice though . Will take the money out of my spending money this month.

You've been so good for the last while SYA and working really hard so you deserve a takeaway A KFC's hardly going to break the bank. Hope you enjoyed it! x

Yes it was loverly !!


Didn't feel hungry last night after my KFC at lunchtime and DS was after a take-away but managed to cobble together a few meals from the freezer.


Went out to lunch after work today. I had chilli & chips and a diet coke £6.50.


I've just put a load of washing out, its still really warm here, heating is off.


I might go for a walk in a bit, DS is off to gym then a meeting then working overtime on nights so I won't need to bother cooking tonight.

Exciting news .... my bank rewards are now £6.21 and I've got a £3 refund from tesc0 after complaining about how they handled a £9.99 online purchase. Not life changing but I guess every little helps

Thank goodness its Friday :j This week seems to have gone on forever !


New water rates bill arrived £31.78 pm over 10 months up from £31.33 so not too much of a rise.


I've been shopping in aldee for some pizzas £1.39 each x 2 and garlic bread 34p each x 2 for tomorrow night when the girls are coming round.


I've had fish and chips for lunch (from the freezer) and have a stew cooking in my slow cooker which should do several meals.


Thick fog here today and drizzly / damp so am going to stay indoors and watch tv for the rest of the day in between trying to tidy up before friends come tomorrow night

It's good that your friends are coming round. Weather is v strange today. Very Hound of the Baskervilles.

Susan is going to take me to the boys and they are going to cheer me up as I am a bit down.

Have a good time savingwannabe x


I have heard nothing back from VM in the last 7 days since my complaint so I have telephoned them again & now I have had to send a complaint email with a copy of the transcript to prove what I was offered !


Am hoping for a better deal. Watch this space .......
