- 4 bags of walkers crisps
- 4 satsumas
and that is what is currently edible in my humble abode!
I have £5 to last me until the 10th and today is currently the 2nd.
My little boy starts school tomorrow so I will have to take out and defrost the small loaf in the freezer to put with cheese for his sandwiches, along with a bag of crisps, some dried apricots, a banana and a yogurt!
Plus I think I will have a day cooking tomorrow and peel some of the new potatoes and some carrots and cook them up and blend them once cooled to make a basis for baby food for Holly. That way then I can either just warm it up and give it to her or add an oxo cube or a little bit of gravy to it for a change and freeze a few portions. Plus I will get making twinks* hobnobs too as an energy bar for my partner when hes training and as a snack for my sons lunch box.
Well looks like I'll be having a productive day tomorrow around the errands, cleaning, washing, looking after Holly and the school run!
