Catch up day

Today I haven't set foot outside of the house. I have been busy cleaning and sorting. Have taken advantage of the nice weather and washed two of my winter coats which are quite thick and heavy. To be honest I am sick of the sight of them. I have had them since 04/05 but they are so warm I am loathed to get rid of them.
I have been sorting out my daughters old clothes. I have decided to have a car boot in the next few weeks and I will try and sell lots of stuff (clutter) so I've had to take out the name labels out of my daughters clothes. They are the embroidered ones so I can use them again ! My husband went to the supermarket yesterday and found 5 twin packs of salmon fillets for 79p each , total £3.95, which should have been £4 each. Not bad for 39p a fillet, we love salmon in our house so they will be gobbled up soon. Today he has come back with a pack of duck breast fillets at 59p reduced from £4.32. We are working our way through the freezer at the moment, having lots of chicken dishes from the mountain of reduced chicken we got a few weeks ago. Now the holidays are over I am going to get back into the meal planning and cut down on the big supermarket shops.

  1. Wow! Could your husband go grocery shopping for me! I would give up chocolate before salmon-that's how much I love it.

    You sound really organised with prep for your car boot sale.

  2. Glad to see that you have trained your husband well with the shopping. Mine thinks he's got a bargain if he spots Ben & Jerry's ice cream on offer! LOL

  5. Wow, I wish my OH was as responsible as that when shopping! The only offers he's interested in are the ones where wine is on special :(
