Would I July to you August Frugaleers

Follow on from the last one

Forgot to add if the sauce is a bit thin thicken with slaked cornflour about an hour from the end of cooking

Giving the house a thorough clean today ready for cleaner back from her holidays next week
Doing some more declutter and rescued some of my clothes from dd out pile

Another interesting point adding my recipes to ocado (for those that remember the theme that too many meals were over £9 for ingredients) is how many of the recipes that I like have the same fresh ingredients. I probably need to set some time aside to having a real think about how I stack and plan my meals to get less waste.

For those interested in the Hawaiian chicken 1kg of thighs has done enough for 10 generously stuffed sandwiches.

Has anyone tried the mob books feed 4 under £10. I can’t compute if that’s too expensive?

Tayto your holiday sounds fabulous. I'm sorry dd is so stressed, I really don't think the teachers should be bothering them on holidays though. They are on holiday for a reason. I think seeing her counsellor is a great suggestion

I'm feeling really down and blue today. Everyone in town is at several different events that are going on. I really wanted to go but have no one to go with. And I can't go on my own because then friends who have gone without me will think I'm trying to crash their day (small venues can't be incognito). It really really shit being on your own sometimes. And ds has come back from his week away from home being a git so I just want to cry.

I have the veggie book and I love it. Some really different recipes including good fakeaways. I think the recipes often work out cheaper as we are well-stocked with spices and herbs and always have things like onions, garlic, lemons, chillies etc so we don't buy them especially.

life that festival sounds brilliant 😁
Em not heard of Bird box will have a look at it You have a very busy week!

Wolf that is awful for you , bless you lovely . I don't know if your friends would think you are trying to crash their day.. Do you really think they would be thinking like that about you? Or are you just on a real downer and everything is pants? l am sorry lovely .

Martha everyone l know bought the pics they are so cool
Glad you had a great time
Crikey Happier that IS expensive for the drinks!
Thank you for the sofa love, you know what it is like you buy it then you doubt yourself

It as Mrs. The town is good at putting events on.
If I saw you wolf I wouldn’t think you were crashing

Wolf I'm sure if you ran into friends they would ask you to join them. I know what you mean though, I don't like going to events, pubs etc on my own. Hope you are ok.

Making seven veg sauce this evening for dinner with mixed pasta. Didn’t have enough of either spirals or tubeys. So both. DH will flip. This is a pet hate of his

I don't often side of your dh em but this would bother me too

Went to Aldi for a sandwich spent €40 in fairness I won't need much more for the week just getting sorted for school lunches

Yup I'm so in rare agreement with your dh Em, mixed pasta shapes is wrong (which is why I have a cupboard full of random handfuls of pasta shapes that are good for nothing)

Well he ate it. As did the dc.

There was literally a handful of spirals. I don’t mind the mixing personally but DH is a stickler for non mixed pasta. To the point where once I accidentally mixed spaghetti and linguini in the same jar. He separated it.

Our dcs love getting a mixture of pasta! It doesn't bother me either but I can't bear it when they mix up two different types of cereal!

Doesn’t bother me unless they have different cooking times

I’m visiting dbro on 4 dec near cov, hit me with Christmas events pls

Oh god. The cereal mix…no. Just no.

Yes Coventry, think we are doing Warwick castle so need to be extra frugal

I love Warwick Castle , they are doing loads there

Kellogs are doing an offer

The Kellogg’s offer doesn’t save money unfortunately as they up the add on prices for skate and lights. Just gonna have to suck up the £168
