Hi Lippyx - yep magicgirl and deni have explained it right. Every day we post our lists of the little money saving things that we do. We aren't strict on this so general "to-do" lists and general life updates or mse tips are welcome

It's a great place to inspire you onto the straight and narrow and pick up tips from other members.

All are welcome - the more the merrier!

Hello :hello:
Welcome to all newbies :wave: I'm usually better at welcoming and keeping up with things on here than I have been lately. Must try harder.
Thanks all for the kind words - I just cannot wait until all the legal stuff is done and finished and I don't need to keep throwing money at the solicitors every month so I can get on with getting debt free and enjoying my life.
I am still tired and headachey - stressed. Just back from an annual vaccination trip to the vet with 3 cats - £156 :eek: Thankfully I had put the money to one side to cover that though. Not sleeping that well, but it is approaching the end of term so it will be nice to put my feet up. I'm also a bit out of routine this week as I have various appointments over the next three days, which can upset me a little bit.
Bought myself a wonky veg box from Mr A. Now just to figure out what to do with it. I always have more carrots and parsnips than I know what to do with....
HK - sorry, I did have a small giggle at the thought of being attacked by a 3 wheeled hoover spitting dust out everywhere... Hope the new one is as fun as a new hoover can be.

Dd was so tired last night she was nearly in years and then she woke at 4:45, she has had a couple of fixed since but she has been awake most of the time. She is going to really struggle with so little sleep.
I plan to spend lots of time with her today hoping she will tell me if something is bothering her.
Auto correct, changed a couple of words without me noticing, my ramblings are even more confusing than normal

The rest of my plans are:
Go shopping and stick to the list Done
Put ALL the shopping away Done, everyone helped
Stick to the meal plan we moved the days around as nobody had much energy for cooking
Home educate children for free Done, kept to basics for dd
DS to pack snacks and drink to take with him to his home education group this afternoon Done
Turn off lights and appliances when not in use, have noticed plenty of lights left on over the last few days, I suspect OH, he is away working for the next few days Not as bad as last few days
Do physio exercises Done, I should of done another set but I'm going to sleep instead
PAD Done
Record spending in diary Done
Check bank accounts Rolling over to later in the week

Booked theatre tickets for April, we are getting 3 for slightly more than 1 as we are going as part of (home) educational group :money:

Dd less tired, I moved things around to give her an easier day, which helped tremendously.

Welcome to all the newbies.

You could do soup - carrot and coriander is lovely, as is curried parsnip soup. Both are easy and don't take long to make
Or roast them to go with whatever else you are having. Doesn't have to be a proper 'roast', they are lovely with sausages and gravy
Grated carrot is nice in sandwiches with other salad things
And parsnips and carrots will keep for a week or so in the fridge if they are in good condition. If they start to go bendy before you have time to use them, chop them up and freeze them to use later

foxgloves

You could also do spicy stir-fried carrot ribbons as an accompaniment to something. Just top & tail the carrots, peel them, then use the vegetable peeler to make long ribbons. Heat a bit of oil in a wok, sizzle a tsp of cumin seeds, then chuck in the carrot ribbons. Add whatever further spices you fancy - chilli flakes, even a couple of pinches of curry powder plus seasoning, of course.
