We ate the fish fingers, mushy peas and the Lurpak is in the fridge so I updated the list before blogging. Even if I don't go shopping at all this month I don't think we will starve. There is plenty to make at least two months meals when you consider that some of the meat will have other things added to it, be portioned up and put back in the freezer for another time.
Gas, hubby has altered the timings and temperatures on the heating and water and thats showing an improvement on our weekly energy readings, not long now before we change the clocks and gain another hour of daylight. Our cutting down on electricity is covering the extra we are using doing Mum & Dads washing and the use of the dryer so even though there isn't a monetary reduction there is no increase either, so pleased about that :-). Fuel for the cars is about the same, £60 per month and we are happy with that.
We live on a limited income, just hubby's private pension, but because we are both careful with money we are able to eat good food, stay warm, run our cars and have holidays without incurring any debt. We both feel extremely lucky to be in this position and are enjoying every day :-)
Todays weather has been awful, snow, rain, sleet and horrible winds, I think its pretty much the same for the rest of the week :-(
Thank you for all your lovely comments yesterday.
Wherever you are, take care and stay warm.
