Where have I been this week? Well uni started back up again so I am so busy with that at the moment that relax­ing time has now become a thing of the past for the next 10 weeks, already hav­ing to deal with the amount of work we have to achieve over the term

The snow kept us in the over the week­end, we did man­age to get out for food, Mon­day I returned to uni and the hus­band to work, same for Tues­day but this morn­ing woke up and we are under yet more snow, I am get­ting pretty fed up with all this white cold stuff! URGH!!

But I didn’t get to talk about my trip to Scot­land which was really good fun minus the worry about get­ting home in time, I love see­ing my fam­ily up there and it was nice to spend qual­ity time with the sis­ters.  I hope to go back up in about 10 weeks after this term finishes.

Since the idea of being stuck in the house for long period of time, I came up with an emer­gency food list which you can keep in your cup­boards and freezer, this also helps to save money because you know what it is like when you get to the end of the month and you have no money for food you can whip some­thing up with the items you already have in your house.

So here’s the list, feel free to add any you think I have missed, I am going to go through my cup­boards soon to see what I already have:

1. Flour
2. Yeast
3. Tinned plum tomatoes
4. Tuna
5. Pasta
6. Mixed herbs
7. Dried Onion
8. Gar­lic (chopped jar ver­sion for the fridge, unopened in the cup­board or gar­lic puree)
9. Red lentils
10. Veg­etable stock cube
11. Rice
12. Tomato puree
13. Kid­ney beans
14. Baked beans
15. Part Bakes
16. Tinned/Frozen veg
17. Frozen berries
18. Tinned fruit
19. Bread in the freezer
20. Por­ridge
21. Sugar

Arugh can’t think of any more right now but I have found some great links for recipes:

• Vegan Lentils Recipes
• The Cheap­est Healthy Meal Ever
• Cheap­est meal

Also update on my goals:

• Sav­ings 800/2000
• Car Fund 468/1700
• Hol­i­day Money 300/900

We paid off our water bill so all that is left is the Gas bill of £228.

How are all your goals going?
