collie sorry for your loss 
and pass 
at them just giving jobs to the men! don't they get how dodgy that looks.!
WeLl yesterday was a bit Spendy - £3.50 bus ticket as had appointment at hearing clinic for DS so a pound for his ticket too. Then around £6 groceries and stuff for DH sandwich. £2 tea lights but we're marked down and will last a long time. £17 on iPad mini case but need to protect it as it'll just get ruined.
Today will be fairly Spendy as will need to renew bus ticket for myself and DS but no other expenses I can think of.
But here is recipe for chick pea soup...
2 medium potatoes
2 medium onions
1 large carrot
3 cans chickpeas (pref in salt water)
1-2 medium carrots
2-3 Savoy cabbage leaves
1-2 cloves of garlic
1 veg stock cube
Peel and chop potatoes, first carrot, onions, garlic and 2 cans of chickpeas (along with liquid from their cans) plus the stock cube into a large pan or stock pot and top up with water to cover all, boil and simmer for around 20 mins till soft, cool and blend. Add final can of chick peas plus last carrot chopped into small cubes (tiny) , shred cabbage leaves into thin strips minus stalky bits, top up with liquid as necessary and add salt and pepper to taste then cook until carrot and cabbage are soft. Remember to stir frequently as chickpeas tend to end up at bottom and can burn so need a low heat as well.
You can use dried chickpeas and usually half a bag of the EastEnd brand is sufficient prepped as on pack.
This makes a lot of soup as it's a Portuguese recipe and they tend to assume you have a family of at least 10
