As a small thank you I have bought them a bottle of port which is one of their favourite tipples, so my oven has cost me just £10......
It's been a strange muggy kind of day, very overcast and as OH was at work I didn't really know what to make for my lunch. A scrabble about in the freezer unearthed a solitary spicy vegetable burger so I cooked that to have with some salad. I am trying to cut down on calories a bit with the warmer weather looming and also increase my fruit and veg intake. I guess this to be at least 2 portions and with a small glass of orange juice, that makes 3. The meal comes to 9 WW pro points with a bit of low fat salad cream to moisten the carrot. It tasted lovely too....
There was just £11.84 left in the housekeeping purse so I have used some of it to stock up on milk, butter for cakes, baked beans, orange juice and a big pot of thick Greek style yogurt for low calorie desserts. Somehow a pack of 6 fruit split ice lollies found their way into my basket too, but at just 2 pro points each and costing £1 for six, I don't feel too guilty :) The remainder of the cash has been put aside for emergencies. Our food shopping week begins on a Monday as it's usually the quieter day although we might do it on Tuesday this week as Monday is Bank Holiday.
About 6 weeks ago I bought a parsley growing kit from the pound shop. I thought I had messed it all up as nothing appeared for about 4 weeks then tiny sprouting things appeared. Just look at it now!
Bye for now, have a lovely weekend x
A good bargain in the oven and parsley grows well in pots although it is slow to germinate. I looked at Park Homes before moving to Wales but the nice ones did not allow dogs, 2 of the ones that did would not have children on the site, not even visitors.
ReplyDeleteVisiting children are allowed on here, Pam, and they can stay overnight too. I need my fix of GC! You can also bring a dog but can't replace it once it's gone to doggy heaven :(
DeleteYour new oven looks perfect and what a bargain, well done! I once read that only the boss of the house could grow parsley! So well done with that too :-) x
ReplyDelete'Nuff said! :0) x
DeleteNothing like a nice new (and clean!) oven to inspire your cooking, great bargain xxx
ReplyDeleteThanks, Fran, it was x
