Morning everyone-just.
Been up since 6.30am so have just been relaxing and worked out spends for the following week.

Eat from out of the freezer using up YS veg and potatoes for dinner later on.
Still haven't written letter to friend, will do at some point
Prepare RM survey item for tomorrow.
Need to wrap some birthday presents, slowly doing it but I do hate wrapping at the best of times. Don't have birthday paper so have been using plain metallic out of Christmas stash.
That's about it from me, have a great Sunday everyone x

Morning - erm, afternoon

Gorgeous here today, so a BBQ later. I cleaned my shed out properly a few weeks ago and found 2 open packs of BBQ lighters, half a bottle of lighter gel and various old bags and bits of charcoal, and I was going to do a BBQ a couple of weeks ago and it clouded over and got too windy, so I froze the food, so I've got all the stuff I need for a basic BBQ (and told my DD that if she wants anything else, she'll need to bring it), so a no-spend spontaneous BBQ, can't be bad

I did a bit of a freezer stock-take for the first time in ages, and I've got so much stuff!! 2 whole chickens, a big piece of beef - they were all well reduced but they still cost over £10 altogether

4 packs of mini pittas!! And bagels, wraps, garlic bread, and so many meals I've cooked extra, frozen and forgotten about - I've done my week's list and I only need to buy 4 things, and to be fair one of those is toilet roll, so not avoidable!

I've got an up to date inventory, so now to stick to it

Ordered free water-saving goodies from Severn Trent and am on the look out for a water butt

My "new" secondhand car is to 60+ miles to the gallon I enjoy watching the MPG doo-dah on the dashboard.

Lovely day here today - sadly I've not seen much of it as I've spent all day doing work at my rental property hoping I can finally get it on the market in the next few weeks as there's not much left to do now. Todays job was wallpapering and I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out. So I can add that to the arsenal of skills I've developed while doing this renovation - along with tiling, changing locks, replacing door frames and plastering among other things. I've always been fairly handy (need to be as DH is a disaster zone!) but its amazing what you can do when you have a go - not to mention its pretty good for the wallet too. Just want it done now though - sick of it taking up big chunks of my weekend.

Must confess to ordering a little takeaway tonight though due to being shattered. It was a new place just opened in town though so was offering a fairly substantial opening discount and we got 3 meals to share between the 5 of us so will be within my weekly budget.

MSE stuff happening today.

:A listed some more stuff on selling site - £17 worth sold and collected already
:A cashed out some more surveys
:A reconnected water butt - can now use rainwater for my veggies instead of the mains
:A filled raised bed and planted carrots, cauli, spring onion and parships
:A more surveys done
:A hair washed with freebie shampoo and drying naturally
:A another £13 paid extra on credit card.

Think thats it for now.
