Autumn glow

Whilst I have been to work today, oh is still on annual leave and I am glad to say that he has been making himself useful around the penny pincher household. He has fitted a light behind my newly decoratored radiator cover in our lounge, it adds a soft orangey glow to the room and makes it feel cosy and Autumny!

Bank Holiday Blues!!

Yes, I have Bank Holiday Blues today, as I have to go back to work tommorow after being off for 13 days! I have had a big long rest and feel so relaxed, however that work thought is looming!!  I know once I get there in the morning, it won’ be half as bad as you expect and by lunch time I will be fine

I suppose the easist thing is to put it out of my mind!!! I have tried to distract myself by reading, I have a new book ‘No Time for Goodbye’  by Linwood Barclay, £3.97 from Asda, instead of £7.99 from Borders! 

Its one of this Summers recommened reads from  the Richard & Judy Book club and I haven’t been able to put it down since I bought it on Saturday!    Its about a young teenage girl Cynthia who wakes up one morning to find that her whole family have disappeared!!

Anyway, off to distract myself, I am just about to shabby chic our bedroom up using yesterdays bargains!

Our bedroom (aka: the winter snug) I love it, the bedspread has made it much warmer and welcoming! 

 I have also used the Carnaby Street handbag, it is holding brushes on my dressing table!!

 

Little Treasures!

I have been out all morning bargain hunting round our two local car boot sales!!! Here are some of my favourite purchases!!

Stainless steel retro coffee machine £9, these normally sell for about £170!! 

a brand new shabby chic vintage quilted bed spread, £3.50

a retro bag for £1. I have one of these already, very similar, so I know its from a very trendy shop on Carnaby street in London

Bank Holiday menu plan wc: 23/8/08

I am a bit late this week with my menu plan for two reasons: 1) I am on holiday and can’t remember which day is which??; 2) oh and ds2 are off and chaos reigns!!

But throughout the mayhem I have finally thrown one together!

Saturday tea:  sausage, chips and beans (morrisons sausages, 50p)

Sunday lunch: chicken and mushroom pie, roast potatoes and carrots

Sunday tea: duck pancakes with chicken mushroom

Bank holiday Monday:  chinese chicken and sweetcorn soup with prawn toasts

Monday tea: pork chops, sweet pototoes and veg

Tuesday: chicken rogan josh with brown rice

wednesday: Tea from local fish shop (at work)

Thursday:  egg chips and beans

Friday Feeling!!

It’s still quite cold and rainy here in North Yorks, but the weather  hasn’t prevented the pennnypincher household having that Friday Feeling!!

Ds2 has been to play a game of tennis at the local sports centre and I have been out shopping with oh!

We bought a massive punnet of strawberries for a £1 from Asda and have enjoyed eating them with cream in front of our open fire. I know your thinking what a funny combination, but it  was heavenly!!!!

The reason we have put our fire on this afternoon was to take the chill out of air and to burn/recycle some of our household waste. We have decided that we will burn as much as possible on our fire, in an effort to combat rising fuel costs and also to recycle whatever we can!

Congratulations!!!!

 

I am the proudest God mother alive today, My God Daughter Perri has got come top in the sats results and got a maths GSCE two years early!!!!

 

Well done Perri!! you obviously got your brains from you God Mum !! lol!!!!!!!
