Frugal fried chicken fried rice.

More frugal cooking today. I had more veg lurking in the fridge and a piece of chicken out of the freezer.
Nipped out to grab a few bits for Geoff while i'm away in London. Cooked it and put it in the freezer for him.

Frugal cooking

With all this mess and upheaval I haven't been using all our food properly. A lot of it has been going in the bin which I am really ashamed of.

Well yesterday I got in from work looked in the fridge and had a lot of veg lurking at the bottom of the fridge.

Veggie spag bol with some yellow stickered  meat balls from M&S and a big tub in the freezer for another day.


Hopefully only another two weeks and I will have a functioning kitchen, and can start planning meals again properly.

The big build as we have started to call it has come to a stop until Tuesday when the concrete is going in for the foundations. It was too cold on Friday. Apparently it's going to be a bit warmer next week.
My back garden looks like Steptoes yard plus a big hole.
 The big hole. With the paving slab going from the cat flap to the path so the cats don't fall down the hole.
 Steptoes yard


I have been trying to have no spend days for  a few weeks now failing miserably most days. I thought if I blog about it I might just manage it. So I am going to do a weekly post about it on  a Sunday.
I have got a little note book that I am going to note down if I spend and what on.

Today is a no spend day we are having a roast and it's all coming out of the freezer and cupboards. I need to get the  cupboards as   empty as I can. The kitchen is getting demolished in a couple of weeks. EEEKKK!

I am also going to get my backside into gear and start ebaying again,and try and get rid of all this treasure that's cluttering up my house.

|I have sold two things on Sphock this week so I have made a start.

Dinner

Well I came home and cooked the Valentine dinner out of the freezer, fridge and cupboards.




It was lovely and even more so because it didn't cost an arm and a leg.

My new baby arrived yesterday as well!

A thing of beauty
