Morning all :hello:

How does Monday come round so quickly :rotfl: today's plans:

Need to go in to work, so have made drink for commute and packed lunch
Pegged washing out on line
Made hm granola
Mince out of freezer to make tomorrow nights tea
Pork out of freeer for tonight
Dd and DH packed lunches using what we have, have defrosted some value mixed fruits and mixed it with hm yogurt for dd yogurt instead of shop bought. Much better for her and the environment :A
Plant a couple of things tonight I didn't get round to yesterday.. lovely new planter arrived, looks much more expensive than the £10 I paid. May get some more if funds allow at the end of the week when I get paid
Check banking, surveys
Put 2 loads of washing away - 1 done, 1 to do
Text a couple of friends.

Hope those feeling tired find some energy somewhere soon.

So far I've done everything apart from text friends and check surveys, will do in a minute. Planted a plum tree and two blueberry bushes. Garden looking a bit more lived in

I've also made bolegnase for tomorrow nights tea, will put in sc on low tomorrow so mil cane just portion up when she wants. Grated a carrot to bulk it out and used half a frozen stock cube

I've saved the pots the blueberries came in and will plant a courgette in each one, will leave it a week as sowed two already this week.

I was going to make tea and started to melt coconut oil to fry off the sauce then realised I could use some of the olive oil the anchovies came in, as I'd not done anything other than melt it, I poured it back in the bottle.

I've got some quiche out for dd for lunch tomorrow, I'll have more soup. Hope DH will have some chicken legs as I've some cooked in the freezer.

Right off to do the last couple of things on my list. Purps.

Morning all!

Bit grey here today but I'm hoping that the garden will get a good soaking!

TSB finally seems to be working (albeit a bit slowly) so I've shuffled some money round this morning.

In other news, I seem to have a bit of a sore throat. Hopefully I can stave it off. - feeling a bit headachey. Might explain why I'm so hungry too.

Round up from yesterday:

Hello Tuesday Penny Savers,
Useful sort of day so far, though it's just started chucking it down with rain, so that's probably the end of my garden efforts for today.
*Made a nice salad from leftover bits & bobs, including some feta which needed using & half a tin of l/o cannellini beans.
*Make tomorrow's packed lunch & work snacks.
*Planted 2 dozen baby lettuces out into the bed I dug over & prepped yesterday.
*Potted up 2 more trays of flower seedlings (all from free seeds), & the trays I've put them in are all recycled ones from buying things like mushrooms, meat, etc (though I would much rather buy this stuff without the accompanying plastic).
*Sorted out a tricky ebay transaction, which involved taking down a load of listings & re-submitting as a composite auction lot. Customer did buy, however, & has already paid. Will package it all up for posting this afternoon, as I have a box & some padding I can recycle.
*Weigh a couple of other ebay sales. I noticed the same buyer has bid on both of them, so I may as well be ready to combine postage when the auction ends.
*Sort out the fridge. There are deli meats in there coming up to their use-by date tomorrow & I may need to freeze some of them. Also, I put a single pepper on the shopping list this week & mr f bought a whole bag as it was cheaper. That's fine, I like a bargain, but they will need to be sliced & frozen as no further peppers required this week & I am not wasting them.
*Making one of Madhur Jaffrey's recipes for leftover meat curry tonight. Using roast pork which I diced & froze last time we had a pork shoulder.
*Start crocheting my little blanket squares together, as they are all knitted, edged, ends sewn in & ready to go. (Use-up project from my stash).
*Finished my bicycle research today. Have chosen one & hopefully will be able to order it today. This sounds spendy, doesn't it? It isn't though, it's a gift.
Well, I can finally hear myself think. Someone further down our street has been chain sawing all morning & the endless noise of it has just about done my head in. So lovely now that it's stopped, but I bet he's just gone for a sandwich. Sexist of me to presume 'he', I am usually one to avoid this kind of stereotype.
Right we are, Daffodils, am off to put the kettle on for some forgotten rose & lemonade tea I forgot I had in the cupboard, & to see what livestock is actually living in the fridge.
Cheers all,
F x
