2022 Fashion On The Ration Challenge

Liverpool_Anne

Hi all, just lost a really long post grrr
I make lots of 1 pot vegetarian stews but don't really have a recipe as I just bung in whatever I have to hand. I always start with onions and always use nor stock pots. I add herbs or spices depending on what I fancy but I do like paprika. I bung in a handful of lentils or a handful of mixed dried beans. I have made several lovely curries by using individual spices and leaving out the chilli as I am allergic to chilli. Using the individual spices is quite economical once they are bought as you only use a couple of tsps of each at the most. They all freeze well to be pinged on another day.
I have no spends to declare yet but I have been looking at yarn for the baby but no rush as s/he is not due until September.
I found out today my lovely over the fence coffee neighbour has covid. She is a very active 84 so I am a bit concerned for her. She has gone to stay with her daughter who has also got it so I know she will be looked after but I don't think I will be happy until she is through the other side.
Take care everyone

Coupons!

Oh no 

2 long sleeve tshirts. Falling under 'other garments' at 3 coupons each, would that be right?

Have you all been out on your victory Gardens this weekend? 

Well, I'm getting over Covid so energy levels are rather low, but some of my seeds are starting to grow - mainly the peas and beans atm, but a couple of the tomato ones as well.

Need to clear out the pots and get some more compost - hoping we don't get the projected frost, it will wipe out the damson blossoms completely.

Our street has been enjoying the sunshine, lots of grass cutting and gardening happening.
Can someone let me know how to get back to the first post of the thread on mobile please?
I bought more tights yesterday, they are supposedly ladder resistant and I'm keeping the receipt in case they get ladders.
I really struggle with getting tights to last a decent amount of time.

I'm sure there are better ways, but the way I do it is to go into landscape mode and then at the bottom and top of the thread it displays the last few page numbers and number 1, press and you will be taken to the first page.

Spends to declare!
3 x work/play blouses
1 x jumper
1 x scarf

making my total 22 coupons. 

I now need to get a grip on my frivolous spending of coupons.

A sweatshirt, and 3 tshirts and a pair of plimsols.

Eek! Shall update signature accordingly, but I am quite pleased as I have customised them all....
The sweatshirt is black on black, and I love it!
The plimsols were plain too till I adorned with sunflowers

(ignore the light lines on some of them, they've been brushed out since the photos)

I've finally made a couple of pairs of knickers Fabric I bought a while ago - can't recall exactly when so I hope I updated my coupons accordingly!
Blue cotton jersey briefs, two pairs - I just hand-sewed them, leaving the edges to curl naturally so it was only side-seams and the two gusset-seams. Very comfy and will do nicely for 'something blue' when the time comes!

Still haven't used any coupons, I do need some clothes but I just can't find them in cs, and when I decided to actually buy some new by going into the city, my transport broke down so still haven't bought any, so if you see me in rags going through the village, don't worry I'm sure things will improve soon!!!!

@CAFCGirl, those are super and very professional!

@Laura_Elsewhere, there's a lot to be said for comfy knickers! And isn't it a nice feeling to tick something off the list!
