Today’s Special Offer …

Took this photo today in Tesco, Helsby, sorry the quality is so bad, but couldn’t resist sharing.

“Excuse me, I think this is a mistake” I said to a staff member “No, that’s right buy 2 for £3.00 – Bargain” She smiled back at me.

Hmmm, needless to say I didn’t pop that “bargain” in my basket!

Ha Ha!! Js good at spotting things like that..he keeps telling everyone that the deal he got by buying the non-offer fruit pastilles multi-pack was better than those on offer! x

Excellent!! I often find that the ‘special offer’ large pack costs more than two small ones at the regular price – especially for dishwasher tablets. I guess supermarkets think we are so anxious for a bargain we won’t check the prices!

Who said there's no such thing as a free lunch?. In our house we don't have much "food waste". Everything left in the pan after tea gets used up. For lunch today I'm having left over prawn stir fry from last night's tea. If Mr T were here, this would have been made into tasty egg fried rice. Just as quick as making scrambled eggs - but much tastier - and an easy way to stretch your leftovers to feed two! Little bits of left over veg can be frozen & later added to soups or stews, rice can be added to a salad. Try adding the remains of a fruit crumble to a bowl of yoghurt or use it as a topping on your breakfast porridge. Before you throw any cooked food away, try to think of a "second life" it could have. Cutting food waste is an easy way to save money & reduce your environmental impact. I must admit, I do get a kick out of creating "free food" from my leftovers!!! [Steps off soapbox, polishes halo] 👩‍🍳 Got any more tips? Let me know. #changewahatyoudo #lovefoodhatewaste #loveyourleftovers #livesimple #ecoliving #cookingscrappy #cookwithscraps

Gardening without a garden! I knew I was going to miss my garden when we moved - but I hadn't realised how much I would miss the dirt under my fingernails! While I wait for spring and the chance to create a few veg and flower beds, I have turned the windowsills into mini greenhouses to plant veg & annuals! #girlgardener #forestgarden #permaculture #organicgardener #plasticfreegardening

Another cold and wet day. A slightly different walk this morning, up through Coombs Wood. I'm trying to walk a different route every day. We've been here 4 weeks now. It stills like a holiday - but slowly getting to know this place we call home! #armathwaite #dailywalk #onmytravels #womenwhowander

Edited to say new homes found - thanks everyone for saving these from the charity shop slush pile! Question: Do I know any artists / makers who use maps? Mr T has had a sort out & we have lots of out of date & damaged OS maps of Lakes, Peak District, N Wales. I don't want to throw them out. Tagging @susan_marsden_art @witchmountain @delicate_stitches in case they know anyone - happy to pop them in the post.

The builders are back - which must mean Christmas is over - and putting up bedroom curtains has become a priority!!!

There's always one! 10 minutes after Mr T put 4 boxes of Christmas decorations up in the attic I remembered this one! We're going to leave it up to bring a bit of glamour to our bland new kitchen!
