Sooooo, my food bill today came to exactly £6.66 then when I logged on the first thing I read was that the UK TF Animated comic had been cancelled. Sigh.

Mine and George's bill is £92 for the month. I was surprised to see hardly any Christmas food items discounted or anything as usually I invest in a cheap turkey crown at this time to save in cryogenics for next December. No mince pies or pudding or anything either. Normally the stores around here spend the next two months trying to get rid of everything
Also been vacuuming up tinsel and ground in glitter all morning from helping out at church with the playgroup and setting things up.

I was surprised to see hardly any Christmas food items discounted or anything as usually I invest in a cheap turkey crown at this time to save in cryogenics for next December. There weren't a lot of turkeys around at all this year. According to my sister (who still has an ear into the farming business as a result of working as a practicing vet) they were a lot scarcer this year than in previous years. (Not needing to worry about looking for turkeys and whatnot I hadn't noticed myself). My food bill varies a lot, but has come down quite a bit now that I am doing more active cooking. Faced with the choice between buying a pie for £1.50 that will do me one meal, or spending £2.50 to buy pastry and some filling and making a pie that I can freeze to do me four meals my brain does the math and decides to spend more time pottering in the kitchen.

I take very little pleasure from cooking as meals are a mechanical task, for the most part. I do, however, enjoy making french toast or burning things on barbeques. I could do the latter all day quite happily. I'm not even that bothered about eating anything from the barbie, I just like to watch things burn! Burrrrrrrrrrn! Burrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrn in the fires of Inferno!

The M&S that Gina worked at as recently as last May has been earmarked to close. She keeps in contact with a lot of the staff that still work there and its a shock to hear that they will lose their jobs. Gina went to the shop today and she told me that many of the staff were crying.

Been semi-Spring cleaning because George and me are expecting a visit from a Fostering Agency on Friday. We're both looking to do some mentoring and respite work which offers troubled youngsters a chance to have a break.

Finally got most of my flat deposit back. Big chunk paid off overdraft, hurray. Will not be going bananas with the rest for several obvious and very sensible reasons but some Action Master joy may be in my near future! Will prob register for AA while I'm at it.

Mindblowing, isn't it?
I think it's from the same fabulous school of music that gave us 'Doctor in Distress'. I must watch both back to back!

Me and George use MySupermarket.com for price comparisons and try to round down the bill each month if possible. On top of the £92 there are also the occasional replenishment of perishable goods like Bread and Milk too as well.

I think I will leave that mighty task in your capable hands, I'm out. Andy I often watch Doctor in Distress. I think it's hilarious. As for weekly shops, it's usually been around £20, sometimes up to £30 if picking up a few beers. Around £3-7 for the weekly take-away. -Ralph |

I suspect that if I was to watch "Dimensions in Time" again (which I am not), I would probably want to be some variety of pickled.....

Glad to hear you got [most of] your deposit back, Ralph!
Weekly, I spend about £15 on fresh meat and fruit/veg at a local market and then £40 in the supermarket. But that does include a couple of bottles of Cobra beer for the weekend.
