Welcome orchids!

Slept a bit better last night, nut up early. Going to do a few jobs today and probably go out for a walk and see the ducks.

Checking in for new FFFFred. Interesting 're the weighted blankets as I am going to order one tomorrow once my credit card moves to a new month. I was also looking at magnesium spray. Has anyone done that? Really need to sort sleep out. Today big dog walk them going to nip into work to print a load of stuff while no one else will be in. It's work stuff. Honest. Then roast for dinner. Should be NSD

Morning.

lifelongfrugaleer · 17/01/2021 07:31

What are you going to do with so much coconut milk em? Live on Thai food?

Welcome orchids.

£££ on food yesterday. Going to make some veg into random soup today and do some packing.

Yeah unescorted, good to hear from dd

ememem84 · 17/01/2021 08:38

life yep! I went overboard because the instruction from DJ was to buy all the coconut milk! Haha.

But it’ll stay in the cupboard for a while. We generally use a tin every couple of weeks. So it’ll last

Mrsmadevans · 17/01/2021 08:54

Onwards l take Magnesium every day for cramp and restless leg syndrome 😁

Welcome Orchid. I take magnesium tablets most nights

Washing to do today and a hope that ds is in a better mood. Yesterday was not a good day

Madden exciting times

Happierwithouthim · 17/01/2021 15:23

I think I've made the switch back to Aldi from dunnes. Hate being tied by the vouchers expiry date.
Shopped last Sunday and yesterday in Aldi & will see how it goes. With dm around I'm meal planning again as I'm happy to eat the same thing three days in a row but don't expect her to

Also not buying micro rice until I use up what's in the press/cupboard

lifelongfrugaleer · 17/01/2021 15:51

Made £5 selling some old comics. Also got rid of a surf board for free.
Nsd but might run out of milk.
Dead veg soup made, 2x curry, sweet potato chowder and willrun up spaghetti bol in a mo. We will eat healthy food.
Still need to defrost garage freezer. Tip slot booked for next Saturday

Unescorted · 17/01/2021 19:19

Where has this weekend vanished to? I have done quite a bit but is has zoooooomed by (old fashioned zoom, I have not been video conferencing all weekend).

We had a nsd here too...... and we are also in peril of running out of milk. I am tempted to syphon off some for my coffee in the morning before they notice. Otherwise I will be crying over no milk and murdering if it is spilt.

lifelongfrugaleer · 17/01/2021 21:10

Ah milkman Monday here. 645 and the world will be good again
