Hello Dear Reader,
Another wonderful week in sunny Cornwall. Today, we tootled about, washed and hoovered the car and had a bumble around the local charity shops. Not a great haul today but a great deal at the Sally Army shop where I bought two bright summer t-shirts for £1.50. DB got himself a bio but best of all, I bought an empty sewing case to put together a sewing kit for my daughter. All in all, a fiver for the lot.
My slimming world meals are going well, it's quite an odd concept that there are foods that I can eat as much as I like of. I mixed tikka curry powder with cheapie fat free natural yoghurt and coated chopped chicken and baked it for twenty minutes. A 49p bag of Aldi salad and half a tin of 33p Aldi sweetcorn. The salad dressing is yoghurt, mint and a drop of water to thin it down. All really cheap!
My big treat this weekend has been a cooked breakfast, all week it's just porridge. It's like staying in our very own hotel. Nothing flash at all has happened this week but it will all be worth it.
On Thursday, I watched the Pont Aven sail into Milbay and remembered that with a bit of scrimping here and saving a few quid there means we'll be off to Brittany in the summer holiday.
Over to you Dear Reader, share your thrifty week. Here's mine - dried all the washing outside, started on a leftover red, white and blue quilt for a baby boy who's due in September (all the bits from other quilts being made up into a baby quilt) and kept to our budget all week. So, what about you?
Until tomorrow,
Love Froogs xxx
