Meals
Finally I have found time to blog!
My challenge began on Saturday 2nd April when my big shop arrived. These have been our meals for the first week:
Saturday - roast chicken (couldn't fit it in the freezer!), roasties, stuffing, broccoli, spinach and gravy.
Sunday - roast pork, roasties, stuffing, yorkshire pudding, cabbage, carrots and gravy.
Monday - cold pork, boiled potatoes, sweetcorn and baked beans.
Tuesday - breaded cod, chips, peas and sweetcorn.
Wednesday - spag bol.
Thursday - steak pie, roasties, purple sprouting, mixed veg and gravy.
Friday - chicken curry and rice.
Last week (9th April to 15th) we ate homemade and from the freezer but I forgot to write it down and now can't remember which days we had what!!!
On Saturday (16th) I spent all day in the kitchen baking. I made chocolate brownies, madeira cake, rock cakes and dundee cakes. I made huge amounts for the freezer, using up the eggs that had built up. I really enjoyed it and now the freezer is full of goodies for when I am back at work and haven't got time to bake.
Saturday - faggots/mince and onion pie, boiled potatoes, asparagus, purple sprouting, carrots and gravy.
Sunday - roast pork, roasties, stuffing, yorkshire pudding, purple sprouting, carrots, gravy and HM mint sauce.
Alice made this meal and it was delicious!!!
I then spent the whole afternoon ironing.
Today they get to choose what they want for tea, but it will be something out of the freezer.
I've still got lots of food left until I get paid, so the challenge continues ...

My latest challenge!
I have a load of shopping coming tomorrow and then I begin my new challenge. I plan to use what I have in the house and see how long we can survive without spending any money. I have a chest freezer and two fridge freezers which will be bursting full and a good storecupboard store. I have an organic veg box and salad box delivered each week for fresh food. It will be easy at the beginning, but I will have to be inventive with my fussy teenagers later on in the month.
I will post photos of my meals to track my success. Day 1 is tomorrow.

Nothing exciting to report!
I haven't posted for a while because there is nothing exciting happening here. I have kept up with my home cooked meals and the freezers and cupboards are well stocked. It's so nice to get washing out on the line.
The Easter holidays are coming up soon, so I will have more time then.

The sun has been shining!
Today I've had a lovely day but I haven't got all my chores done!
This morning I got up early with good intentions to get lots done, but instead I went to the B&Q superstore in Northampton. We chose a nice paint to do the utility room and bought lots of seeds too.
This afternoon we went for a lovely long walk with the dog, then I did my ironing.
Tea was stew and dumplings which I cooked in the slow cooker.
Back to work tomorrow : -(

Not long until the weekend!!!
Just lately I can't wait for the weekend to come each week. I think that this week has gone quite quickly though. Nothing exciting to report today.
Tea was homemade corned beef burgers (which were really nice) and mash and spaghetti hoops.
I was good and walked home from work today!

I've sold 11 things on ebay!!!
At last the decluttering is beginning to happen. I have five parcels ready to send and am awaiting six more payments to send the rest. I have sold 5 pairs of shoes, 1 book and a jewellery set.
Dinner tonight was sausage sandwiches because we were all late in. I hope to do better tomorrow!
