Shant tell Hubby tho, just see if he notices!!<br />Blessings to Lovely xx<br />Sarah xlandcuckoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02539783011453017316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-15733640075492034182011-05-02T23:23:53.754+01:002011-05-02T23:23:53.754+01:00I bet spotty jug is licking his lips at the though...I bet spotty jug is licking his lips at the thought of what he's going to get at the end of the challenge!<br />Doing great, Sue!<br />Jane xJane and Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08102086552682194819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-86228949924662117482011-05-02T19:20:14.417+01:002011-05-02T19:20:14.417+01:00Sft - I am really noticing how much water disappea...Sft - I am really noticing how much water disappears down the plughole at the moment and wish we had more rain butts etc (although of no use at the moment with no rain!). Once we move I guess we will have to be much more careful, but at the moment we aren't metered, I do however, make sure we don't waste too much, more for the sake of the planet than my purse!!<br /><br />Vanessa - I hadn't really considered the weight loss factor, I think it's mainly the no snacking and no alcohol that's having such a rapid effect, but it's a very welcome side effect!<br /><br />Sorry to lose the lumps Bunny....if I do find any I'll save them for you!<br /><br />Betty - I think once you have known hard times you appreciate the better ones all the more. Although I do usually eat Quorn (I love the stuff in almost every format) I couldn't afford it for this challenge. There was not enough in a pack to make big enough meals to stop me being hungry later on unfortunately.<br /><br />Penny - I know what you mean about dogs and chickens, my lot have already noticed there are no leftovers from me this week.<br /><br />Sue xxSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04177854521955532744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-41415496500568772712011-05-02T17:47:53.947+01:002011-05-02T17:47:53.947+01:00Well done.

I am thinking more about what I throw away since I started reading about 'below the line'. You may find quorn mince helpful to your budget, by the way, as it is extremely bulky/filling and cheaper than some cuts of meat.

It is interesting...Glad Lovely is comfortable Sue!<br /><br />It is interesting that this challenge is making you mindful of waste...Resources are so precious we should make the most of them whether its food, water or anything else. <br /><br />We're trying to save our grey water at the moment and its shocking how much we would have throw away. Again very thought provoking.<br /><br />Keep up the excellent posts!<br /><br />Sft xAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17545087114808861192noreply@blogger.com
