Mrs. P's Savings, Paying Off CC, being more organised diary

NSD today.
.  
Weather sunny, so I did a load of washing and its now line drying.  Think I may still need to air in the house overnight, but its not doing too badly so far.  Included was the bedding so am glad to get rid of that!

Hoovered stairs and changed DS bed and cleaned his room ready for his stay over Christmas.  So that's his room done now. 

Breakfast was muffins, late lunch/early tea will be jacket potatoes with tuna and sweetcorn mayo filling.  Will probably have snacks tonight while watching Shetland - cream doughnuts and a G&T

Yesterday was an NSD. 

My friend came round in the afternoon and we had a lovely gossip, catch up and sewing session while drinking tea and eating cake.

Today I spent on basics.

Batch cooked some scones, we did eat some with jam and clotted cream for lunch   Dinner tonight was yellow stickered salmon fishcakes from Sainsbogs and DH popped to the chip shop to get some chips to go with them.

Spare bedroom has been cleaned.

Well, the weekend has been NSD for both days.

Today we had eggs benedict for breakfast.  I saw the local cafe were doing it for £7.50, we did our own for a fraction of that cost.  Was really nice and made a great change.

Weather nicer than expected so had a walk and went into the garden and planted some bulbs.  Did some baking - a Victoria sponge made and 3 loaves of bread.

Late lunch/early dinner was stew and dumplings followed by jelly.

Stew and dumplings for lunch here today too Mrs P - perfect autumn/winter food IMO!

NSD today.

Weather nice, so did another load of laundry. The basket is now empty!

Did some gardening, planted my garlic and put some herb seeds on the kitchen window sill - chives, coriander and sage.

Made tuna lasagne for dinner ate a third and froze the remainder, so 6 portions so I was pleased with that.

I reached the bottom of the laundry basket over the weekend - it's filling up again now though!

Yes mine didn't stay empty for long either

CC statement day so I've updated my signature to show the current amount.  I didn't pay off as much as I wanted to last month and this month I will be paying the minimum.  BUT, the good news is that I haven't used it.

Went shopping this morning and got a few basics.

So far I've cleaned the bathroom and kitchen.

Next on the list is clearing my desk and associated paperwork.

Food shopping today.

Breakfast was toasted teacake and coffee at the garden centre (on the way to the supermarket).

Dinner tonight is chicken with all the trimmings - so a kind of Christmas dinner with chicken instead of turkey.

Booked my booster jab for Tuesday morning.

I've got dinner-envy! Love a roast chicken!
