  • Hi Hypno, how is it going with the food challenges? I find i am looking every which way to cut corners..and everything at the back of the cupboard is getting used!
    been some very good meals too i have to say. Just made no knead breadx2 and HM yoghurt.

    Hi all! The food challenge is going ok - sticking to the meal plan, and using what we have in the cupboards to make things stretch further - Mr T is delivering tomorrow evening so we will be fine for the next couple of weeks I'm sure!

    Final ebay parcel of the week was sent today on receipt of a postal order....I have not had a postal order since I was about 5........so have to work out what to do with it :o

    Snaggles - I am very pleased you have put in the order for sunshine in late August as I have a week off work.......:D

    Can't help on the postal order as I don't know what to do with them myself.Glad your grocery challenge is working out for you.It's amazing what we learn to make from just a few bits isn't it?

    Yes, the order was for the whole of the UK, so feel free to bask in it at my expense :D

    Thanks Snaggles :D

    Yes, the grocery thing will hopefully make a good difference - but I am still concerned that I cannot stick to a budget - not because I don't try hard enough, but because I am sure someone comes along and changes the numbers when I am asleep :o

  • Hi Hypno

    Does OH start his new job soon? Was just thinking about when his new wage will be in as I am sure it gonna be needed soon.

    Well done with the meal planning/budgeting so far.

    Evening Hypno and anyone else here :j

    Not been about much the last few days. My little girl has tonsilitus and an ear infection, so have a very poorly mini doodledo here bless her.

    She can't sleep as she coughs so much which makes her ears hurt. Been to the docs today so hopefully antibiotics will soon kick in. She is only 3 seems to young to be having tonsilitus bless her.

    Anyway have I missed much??
