    Those Enchiladas look lovely. I never think of using leftover chicken in those. Will give them a try.

    @Sun_Addict lol re the image stuff tbh I probably fall into the category you’re talking about. Lot of my staff think I’m winning lol, I still want next level. Never learn just trying to go about it in a bit better way.

    I'm not surprised you get food envy. You only ever eat chicken salad :D

    £500 paid to Card 3 today. Other than that it will be a no spends day.

    Breakfast, lunch and dinner will be from stores. Breakfast was toast, the other half has taken his packed lunch to work, I have a cauliflower cheese and stilton tart for my lunch and dinner tonight is a slow cooked Mediterranean style ox tail casserole in a Yorkshire pudding with garlic bread.

    Today's jobs include:
    • working from home
    • load of washing (hung out to dry on the washing line)
    • vacuuming the house
    • dusting the house
    • sticking dinner in the slow cooker
    • walking the dog x 2 
    Looks like it will be a busier day today.

    The Ebay sales are ticking along nicely. The engine is getting a lot of attention as expected and is bid higher than we expected at this time in the auction. A couple of the other items have also got bids that are a lot more than we thought we would get for them and there are still three days running on the bulk of the items and four on the engine.

    It is going into the savings account until we decide what we are going to do with it. Will probably be spent on kitting out the van I imagine.

    I should have guessed you were having chicken salad. How is your food bill so high when all you eat is chicken salad? 🤔

    You really must stop this chicken salad nonsense. No wonder you don't feel well and what do you mean your wife didn't feel like cooking for you? What the heck has she been doing all day that makes it too much trouble to cook for the one who is earning the money that gives her a nice life. You should have sent for a takeaway at least.
