Eggs were all good, so DH and i had scrambled eggs, mushroom and tomatoes for breakfast, small cheese and onion quiche made and i will freeze once cooled. made some lime curd and as i only needed egg yolks i used the whites to make some meringues. Taken some gooseberry puree out of the freezer to have with the meringues and ice cream later.

Postie brought me an item to test and i've managed to complete a few short surveys. Load of washing done but had to put on the airer, bathroom cleaned, whole house has been hoovered and downstairs mopped.

Hello, hope everyone had a lovely weekend! Spoilt rotten yesterday by my children for Mother's day, flowers and chocolates and then taken out for a lovely Sunday roast, which was amazing and i was so stuffed i couldn't manage dessert.

Finances ticking along, item sold yesterday so £6 for the savings pot when it clears. £10 amaz0n voucher redeemed from a survey site and swiftly spent today on dog poo bags ( i know how to live). Worked until 1.30pm today and then pottered in the garden, lots of veggies are taking off.

2 more NSD to add to March,15 in total for the month. Did spend today but not counting it as a spend as it was covered by amaz0n vouchers i'd received from surveys.

Dog training later and an easy tea of tomato and lentil soup, didn't get cheese scones made so having some bread rolls out of the freezer.

Second to the delicious sounding meal plan! 
I miss baking I really do need to get back into it.
Will try and get the small involved this weekend with the promise of making treats as well as dinner things

Morning, how is it Thursday already. Picked up quite a few extra work hours this week which all helps and then lots of time spent out in the garden thinning and sowing seedlings and tending to the veggie garden. 
Surveys are slow at the moment but i have hit payout on 0nep0ll so that's a positive. No other money news everything is just ticking along.
Had £5.50 of Mr T CC vouchers on my account and now i don't work near one I never shop there so thought i would exchange them. Well the offers are just pants i'm sure they used to be much better. Ended up exchanging them for Be11a ita1ia, we will go for lunch during the summer as you can sit outside and watch the world go by.
2 NSD to kick off April, today i'm meeting a friend for coffee so will be a small spend.

Meal plan has been done for next week as I am having an online delivery this week to free up some time but also Mr 0cad0 sent me a 20% off code, I also choose an early slot (6am-7am) as it was the cheapest at £1.99, i may regret that in the morning, shopping is looking at around £93 with an £18 saving but i will update tomorrow.  Didn't get a A&C order this week as we still have some fish left in the freezer.

Yesterday evening i did a bit of baking to use up more eggs, banana and walnut cake which used up a past it banana, DH likes to take a HM snack to work for his morning break, Scones which we had warm out of the oven with lime curd and whipped cream and they were lush even if i do say so myself  and I found last block of caramelised onion cheese in the freezer which came from the 1p cheese haul i picked up after christmas in Mr S, so a cheese and leek quiche was made which will be eaten for lunch today with some salad.

Meal plan -
Salmon, roast baby potatoes & veg
Sausage, mash &veg
Roast chicken dinner
Jacket potatoes, beans, cheese, coleslaw, leftovers.
Creamy garlic chicken with either pasta or couscous 
Spag bol 
Pork stirfry & noodles

Wow another week has flown by, It has been hectic as DD ended up going into hospital and having a minor procedure. SHe is ok and at home but is needing extra help doing everyday tasks and has been signed off work for 3 weeks. DH was at home on Monday and i Went to work, I was off Tuesday and yesterday her best friend came round for a couple of hours whilst i was at work and sat with her. I'm at work this morning but she seems alot better and thinks she will fine for a couple of hours, i'm only 5 minutes away if she needs me.

Finances are a bit all over this week and i know there has been some extra spends, Mainly on food snacks and a cafe spend whilst DD was in hospital. Need to tally these up but what is done is done and i don't think it's more than £50.

Speaking of £50, NW have popped exactly that amount into my account which has swiftly been sent over to savings, love free money. 

Have loads of stuff whizzing in my head that i need to do and feel a list is in order, which i will probably do whilst sat waiting for my doctors appointment this afternoon. I have literally gone to work, looked after DD and taken care of the dogs in the last 7 days and feel like i'm living in a whirlwind, time for some order.
