    It's in a bit of a hippy self-published book and sadly the page with the recipe on isn't online.... I don't have a photo hosting account, but DH might. I'll see what I can do later!

    I am knackered! Sleep deprived night, day at work, 4.5 mile run and grocery shopping :j

    19,000+ steps, I am optimistic about my weight in tomorrow morning :)

    Picked up some good YS bargains, including reduced free range chicken, lamb and smoked salmon. Also took advantage of a spend £50, get £5 in Mr M's points offer to buy a JL voucher that I will use to get Mrs E's Mother's Day present. She has been hankering after a heated blanket for a long time, I can probably justify it with 10% off ;)

    Off to bed now :coffee:

    Rare night away interrupted by the sad news that DD's Gran has taken a turn for the worse and is now in end of life care. We rushed back this morning, but felt terrible that MIL had to think about childcare while worrying about her Mum.

    £222 paid off a CC.

    Sad news indeed.
    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!
