Starting Afresh Back Home

Ooh, a converted bank! I'd been wondering how it could be a house with no garden! 

I think I've been spending more since the lockdown than before 😡 I've only got about £25 to last until the end of the month now. It stops now! If BF is going to the shops for me, then he will be doing so with very strict instructions!

Yep, a single storey, flat roofed building that was a bank, it used to have bars on all the windows! It's nothing to shout about but it is a nice little place and our home (for now anyway!)  I'm hoping I might find a gold bar or something when we change the flooring. I suppose they would have found that when it was converted but you never know! 

Good luck SC! I'm also not spending money on anything else only food now! I've done a freezer inventory and have enough meals for the rest of the week so no food shopping until next week!

We're also spending lots whilst at home and doing nothing.... strange! 

Do you have a cellar and/ or a safe with it being a converted bank?

I didn't think I'd ever want to go back to work greent, but a small part of me does just to stop my spending 😂

Not that I know of but when I change the flooring, I will have a good look for a secret stash!

Thanks Cheery  

I finished another one today, this time a birthday cross stitch for my youngest nephew. 


I went to the Co Op and spent £20. We have enough meals in to last us until the end of the week but when me and bf talked about it we decided to keep the food stocked up, I was a bit worried that we'd finish all the food in the house and then when we went to go shopping there would be nothing there. Sounds silly now I've put it in writing!!

Lunch was lentil soup and tea, Linda McCartney mozzarella burgers and chips.

Not a lot else to report, so take care and stay safe x

Doesn’t sound silly at all Jess. I’m normally one for running stocks right down, but not at the moment. And clearly rightly so - delivery coming today and I could only order two bags of flour and one of those isn’t coming😔 I would like everyone to get back to work so they stop baking as I can’t make my normal food!

Thanks vix. Yeah, I know you're one for baking anyway so it must be frustrating not being able to get the ingredients you buy in everyday life. What bothers me is people have bought all this stuff and just aren't going to use it and it'll end up going to waste. I hope we come out of this having learned some valuable lessons but only time will tell!
