nyk - Oyster is the name given to a pre-paid kind of travel card in London - it can be used on buses.

Dinner is from the slow cooker tonight. 3 pork chops for £1.60 (yellow stickered) that I pulled out of the freezer with a load of casserole vegetables, potatoes and a packet of chicken chasseur mix from the cupboard.

My 'Bite Discount Card' just expired and I have never even used it! It gets you 20& off food and drink at railway stations. It's a great idea if you go to busy stations, completely rubbish when your local stations are all of the type you pray the train slows down enough to let you grab a handle and jump onboard as it passes betwwn the raised wooden pavements in the middle of nowhere. I think they call them stations, you can tell by the nearby bridge for crossing the tracks :rotfl:

Just spent my first few pounds of the year (£6.95) :eek: on cut price milk, half price meat and buy one get one free boxes of cereal from my local Mr T's, so not a bad start.

I'm back to being obsessive about my electricity again as used too much over xmas and new year: Since 8.30 this morning I've used £1.30 including the 15p that is deducted every 101 minutes for the debt, so that's 55p for my electric and 75p off my debt.

Turning on the immersion heater in a moment, that's what really burns it all up.

Is there a slice of cake left for me? It looks yummy! And as I'm trying to lose some weight, virtual cake eating is the only kind I'm allowed I have a breadmaker (from Freecycle) that we haven't used yet, those lovely photos have inspired me to have a go at the weekend. I can't eat too much bread but OH does and it costs a fortune!
Well, we were off to the cinema on Orange Wednesday but the car won't start at all! :eek: I'm getting really scared now... In an ideal world, we'd live without the car and use our bikes but it's just not possible for me at the mo, and if I don't have a car, I'll be v isolated. Anyone got a magic wand?
I'll be checking my meters in the morning now as well - crazy? we'll be absolutely raving mad by then end of the year!:rotfl:The Good Life here we come!

bails I think you're just in time for a piece of cake The men in our house have now discovered it & are tucking in so I don't think it will be around for long! :eek: :rotfl:

Keeping my fingers crossed for your car, hope its going to be ok
