Hi All

I am keeping up with my plan and am reading your news. But have not posted for ages.

Just wanted to say a quick HI

Pegged washing out on line, along with lots of washed out plastic bags that the raspberries were frozen in. OH used to laugh at me for doing this, but with the current concerns about plastic, I am taking the moral high ground. Better of course not to use it, but at least I can repeatedly use it, instead of throwing away after one use. Only exception is if they have been used for meat, fish or anything greasy or really messy. Mostly HG veg and fruit, so they get used over and over again OH still taking the pee, suggesting that the neighbours prob think I am stingy.... Do I care? I think not :rotfl:

I do this too, Dawn! DH still looks at me as though I’m crazy when I’m washing DDs’ sandwich bags to re-use in their lunchboxes, but he’s learned not to say anything! :rotfl:

Evening guys that was weird earlier I wrote out my daily list and got a message saying the administrators had banned my posts!

Dawn & browneyed_girl I also was out my plastic bags, reuse any bags that come with groceries - it's not unheard of me to take a sandwich in an empty pasta bag!

So today was working so little done really - but I didn't spend anything so that is technically a modern day miracle! (browneyed_girl over use of exclamation marks is to be applauded!!!!!!!!!!!)

Things I have done:

* NSD
* all meals from stores despite wanting to eat anything other than what I had...
* ate about 8 biscuits and lots of sweets floating about the office (bad in other ways but we'll gloss over that....)
* came in and put pinto beans in the PC and have prepared the veg to make a BNS & bean stew
* washed out my lunchbox which I spare you the details but know that you should be congratulating me on my fortitude....
* received replacement harness for pup. And to be honest I think it'll be a small task to repair the faulty one :money:
* Am about to get the sewing machine out and do some more of the quilt I'm making :j
* made overnight oats for tomorrow.....

Sounds like a Phishing attempt.

Morning all. Busy week at work has seen me awol from being online. We’re now on holiday :j so I’m not sure I’ll be posting a list daily but I’ll be keeping the faith :A Bought loads of food with us, including hm jam which we’ve just had for breakfast bought sandwiches for the journey.

I bought some washing tablets so we’ll be doing some washing whilst we are here and drying so I don’t have a pile when I get home

Have a great weekend everyone.
