Yet more snow…

Filed Under: College/Uni, Family, Frugal Friday, Money    Posted On: 01-13-2010 5 Comments

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:

Flour Yeast Tinned plum tomatoes Tuna Pasta Mixed herbs Dried Onion Gar­lic (chopped jar ver­sion for the fridge, unopened in the cup­board or gar­lic puree) Red lentils Veg­etable stock cube Rice Tomato puree Kid­ney beans Baked beans Part Bakes Tinned/Frozen veg Frozen berries Tinned fruit Bread in the freezer Por­ridge Sugar

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

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?

My goals are not going too well, I have been stuck at this weight for a few weeks now it seems. I’m glad your goals are going well.

Good luck with uni! I miss my uni days. Enjoy it while you can!

Ah, the snow is still lin­ger­ing around in my city, so I still see it here and there. I don’t mind too much, though. I like snow. :)
