Hexies on a cold day

Its been so cold and wet the last couple of days so while hubby was at his voluntary job I decided to get some hexies cut out and made up, I'm thinking about using them to decorate some simple bags for Christmas. I like the fact that I can do this just sat watching tv or sat in the conservatory as they are all stitched by hand, quite theraputic!!

 Pizza was on the menu for last week and we moved stuff around so I thought I better add it to this week as I really wanted to use up the oddments of pepperoni and garlic sausage from the freezer, plus the mozzerella was a few days out of date.

 I made the dough in the breadmaker and there was enough for two.

We had a few bits of salad left and a spoonful of coleslaw so I chopped the bits up and stirred in the coleslaw and added a squirt of mayo, it was lovely.

 While the oven was on I cooked a handful of oven chips each, we hardly ever have chips, these are from Lidl and were quite nice and made a bit of a change.

Last week I had bought this huge Butternut Squash from Lidl, so today I used it up to make spicy soup, I added some chilli powder and it made it a real winter warmer just the job for today.  We finished off yesterdays Pizza with it and I had made a rice pudding in the slow cooker for afters, we were both stuffed but warm :-)

I have had 6 no spend days this week, but tomorrow is shopping day, I hope I can stick to my small list and keep costs low.  We still have loads in the cupboards and the freezer.

How is your week going?  Are you managing to keep warm, or have you given in and put the heating on?

Take Care and
