Right, trying to keep up the momentum. I have been to the butchers and bought a large meat pack with enough fresh meat for 12 meals, all in the freezer. I'm going to go into the market in the morning to buy some fruit and veggies. I want to get Hubby a week at a holiday cottage as a birthday surprise so need to economise with the shopping to do it. I stocked up on the cleaning sundries from Aldi and now been to the butchers and the market tomorrow for the fruit and veggies. I normally spend around £150 a week in Sainsbury and so far this week i've spent £42 so it's all good. I'm going to try making a soup tomorrow as someone bought me the new covent garden soup book. Im going to try the bacon and wensleydale cheese I think as I have some wensleydale left over from Christmas and syn it. We have sealed up the Christmas tins of sweets, gosh I bought far too many and I told the kids we could get them out at Easter!

Well today we booked a holiday. A really different one in terms of who we are going with.My kids are 10,11 and 12 and middle one has special needs and we dont usually take him abroad as it dosent work really and we usually have respite and have a trip away or Me and Hubby go separately with the girls. My Brother in Law, who is single and my Mother in Law (widow) have offered to come with us and have Middly in with them and look after him so we can all go. When we had found somewhere to go my Hubby other Brother and Sister in Law (no children) offered to come too so we are all very excited, just a week AI 5* in Turkey right at the end of the big school holidays so we have something to really look forwards to.
