Hey everyone

Logging a NSD for today. As I did all of my shopping on Friday I didn't need to buy anything today... So we went up to Ambleside and climbed hills for a bit

Didn't make the haggis pie today in the end... I had some lentil & mushroom mix left (from the sausage rolls the other day) so I made some more pastry and made it into a bit of a wellington... smells lovely!

Hope everyone has had a lovely Sunday

Really, really hacked off, windows updated the other day, not on comp much yesterday due to sis`s visit, all my excel files deleted, no spends sheet, no incoming outgoing d/d`s sheet, and worst of all no fridge/freezer list. Looking in play store for a free app to use in future, any recommendations please.

Sorry to hear your computer had messed up your spreadsheet, I would go insane if that happened to me! Having had my laptop die on me once, I was lucky a local computer company managed to retrieve all my files (maybe worth looking into?), they couldn't fix it but gave me all my data back for free which was nice. I try to back up everything once a month now!

As for shopping apps, I use Out of Milk, you can track everything in a pantry list or multiple ones and then add it direct to shopping list. I like that I can use kindle in the house and then sync it to my phone to go shopping! X

That looks lovely, ss. I would need to play around with it because of the cream and parmesan, but will think about giving it a go

I add dairy free Alpro Cream or Coconut Milk, for something I make that is similar. You can add Nutritional Yeast to add the cheesy taste if you wanted.


I was at Columbia Road Flower Market this afternoon, such a beautiful day. Bought a couple of kitchen herbs, chives & basil, which was £4.50 and some other spends in Tesc, £7.50 in total. Gonna make a healthy version of pesto with the basil, as I have 2kg of pine nuts in the freezer. Just want cucumber & mushrooms, anything else can wait 'till Thursday. Really need to get my act together n meal plan/batch cook - makes life so much easier. Have updated sig.

£30.01 between Morries and B&M, over £10 of that on dog treats and a new collar. the rest mainly store cupboard

First spend of the month of £13.62 on fruit, veg, herbs, butter and puff pastry. Should be pretty well set until the end of the week when I might buy a few bits to take camping with us at the weekend.

I resisted buying reduced pasta as we have loads of pasta in the house already and I'd like more room more than I'd like more pasta!

Chloris

Small spend of £1.10 in the local c00p on cucumber and radishes to top up the salad bits for packed lunches. Tonight's tea is mostly leftovers so cheap and easy. I do need to make some cakes for a 'kitchen coffee shop' I'm holding at mine tomorrow morning. Trying to cut the small treats out and fill packed lunches at the same time. X

Not doing too bad, I'm spending most of the money on fruit and vegetables as my veg plot isn't producing quite enough yet - well it's only producing potatoes and some salad leaves, roll on July when it will all change and I should be almost self sufficient in veg.

Still got loads in the freezer to use so I think I'll stay within budget

Having to log a spend of £5.77p. My eldest boy sprung it on me last minute that he needed a bunch of ingredients for cooking class at school... can't be helped I guess, but I bought the cheapest priced items.

Edit: I just wanted to add... I don't know if anyone else does this, but I am currently gaining a great deal of pleasure in checking my food budget balances. I only use cash, so every time I update my sig, I grab my purse and count what's left... each time it balances perfectly, it is such a nice feeling

Hope you all had a lovely Monday
