  • Hi everyone

    A lurker who used to post but have got side tracked and brought down by life! Want to make changes and am figuring this is a pretty great place to start! Tried a diary but lost the diary so need to start again. Lots going on in the lonely world of a chick who is trying to get organised!! Can I join in please??

    And is using frozen veg better than fresh?? Well cheaper? Thanks x

    Hi C2o :) hop in and get posting! Good luck with getting organise - a lifelong task I am finding....

    erm depends really - in season stuff is cheaper as is picking up bits ys. However you do need to be fairly organised and be able to use or freeze so as not to let your hard earned cash perish!

    Frozen stuff is good in that no waste, can use portions needed and lasts longer.

    I think it really comes down to your ability to be very organised with food. Some posters on here have reach nirvana in this aspect and some of us still working on it! (:o)

    oh and in the spring/summer you can grow your own if you have space :cool:

    CLF glad work "storm" is passing and you can look at it logically :)

    FVD kudos on getting up and getting cracking on a sunday!

    HK sounds like you had a lovely visit from dd :)

    Gosh seems quite round here atm! Have managed to continue with my small things despite not posting :)

    Madam has been on crack today :( combination of an over night visit to inlaws (she always goes a bit haywire after a night away) and seeing dd yesterday who isn't well at the moment. Gosh it has taken herculean powers to remain really patient all day long!

    Anyway:

    started my no car trail and walked to the lottie. Did an hour, digging, hoeing and clearing :) managed to snag a lift back :T

    used ood mince for tea - and no one has food poisoning :cool:

    listed 6 things on fleabay :A

    purchased a skirt for £5.50 inc postage :cool:

    2 loads of washing on dryer

    went in garden to look at fireworks for free :cool:

    going to go and have a long soak and read my book and then go to bed.

    Happy Sunday y'all :A
