Whitewing....thats a lovely idea for Valentines. Have to confess that I am a bit too organised and bought my OH's card for this year at the end of Feb last year but it was only 10p!!!

I was having a NSD but then I noticed how much OH had ate while I was at work and had to nip to the shops for bread and butter...6.49 later but I did only take £10 and if I had took my card I know I would have spent more PC (pre challenge)!!!
Also can anyone tell me what page the soup recipe is on please.....theres so many pages now!!!

My OH thinks I've left him for the PC...I haven't told him yet that I have :rotfl:;)

My oh commented that we need another laptop as I'm always on this one...thats not part of the plan so I'm trying to reduce my time on here to allow him to use it....having serious withdrawel symptoms and dont know what to do with myself!!

Keren29, I keep meaning to say this but always forget to do so. You are one of the most inspiring people on the MSE boards, I always like reading your posts; now where do you get your energy from?

Am I????????!!!!!!!! :eek: :eek: :eek:

erm..........thankyou

First of all, welcome Freya! I've added you to post one as number 117 :T Thank you for joining us and I'm sure you are going to have a lot of fun here. Hopefully, you'll be able to avoid the affliction of forum-dependancy but there seems to be quite a severe dose going around at the moment and I've caught it! :rotfl:

I've only just caught up with reading all the posts and must dash to get dinner, but I promise to update as soon as the dishes are done - sooner if I don't need to wash them

I used to keep chickens and there's a whole thread on MSE somewhere about it. Hen-keeping is great fun, and I also reared pheasants, guinea fowl, ducks and quail (for us posh birds! :rotfl: ). Quail eggs are such a delicacy but they are available in such easily managed quantities that I'm seriously considering getting back into that as soon as I have my own place. (Wonder if the landlord would allow it? Hmm..) OH! Got distracted and forgot about dinner again!!! Back soon

BF has spent £1.28 out of this weeks food budget, for bits and bobs for tonights meal, beef stirfry.
Hes a really good cook and used yesturdays leftover beef. His spends were on, mushrooms
onion
tomatos
beanstrouts-reduced to 25p
2 pks 8p noodles

I think I might be winning him over as he was so pleased with his frugal finds:T
I'll make a MSE out of him yet!!:rotfl:

NYK I don't have grey moments anymore....thanks to Nice 'n Easy!:rotfl:

Keren - I love reading your posts too, you've gone 2 weeks without shopping, how inspiring is that! notanothergreyhair, well done to you too on your 12 no spend days :T

Bails - I'm so happy for you with your windfall, hope you have a nice drink with your oh
