Saves on washing up

Hello from Tightwad Towers. Another no spend day today, because I haven't been anywhere. Miserable, damp, and foggy weather, all day. Wanted to go out but not to worry, a day indoors is OK. Tomorrow is a walking day, then if it is fine on Thursday maybe a run out in the car. 

I enjoyed a lazy sewing day, and watching a bit of catch up TV. Mr Selfridge, and I've been watching Griff Rees Jones on his travels through the mountains of Britain. I watched Dragons Den as well, my ears pricked up when I heard a familiar name mentioned. The two bosses from Approved Foods were pitching for a big loan. Must say, they fluffed their lines, the presentation was far from slick. When grilled by the Dragons it appears that their business is massively in debt, with talk at one point of one of them losing their house. Needless to say, non of the five Dragons were tempted to make an investment. There is an article about their part in the programme in the local newspaper, on a positive note their web site clicks have hit the roof.

Moving on. What do you do when you have a bit of yogurt left in the bottom of the pot? Could just eat it I suppose, but I like it with fruit. Instead of scooping it out and topping a bowl of fruit with it, why not add the fruit to the pot. Saves on washing up.  

Perfect, grapes and pear pieces. Lovely jubbly.

Lunch today was a three minute in the pan job. The last of the rice noodles, (three servings per pack, could stretch to four), cooked with four chopped up mushrooms, served on a bed of spinach. Not much faffing there.

I didn't take a photo of dinner, I ate a plastic box of pasta salad, out of the box. No washing up, and a cheap meal at 22p.

Here is an update on the landscape picture. A bit more added, it's a long old job.

Thanks for your address Vampire Heart. I will get the bag off to you ASAP, probably Thursday as I'm going out tomorrow. You should have it by the weekend. You mentioned looking in charity shops for fabric to make a bag. Look at the curtains, usually some nice fabrics there, and a bit thicker too. By the way, did any of the other bag winners realize what I wrapped them in? That white rubbery fabric with a toweling backing. Nope, can't guess? It was a mattress cover from a small persons cot. I got it out of the last skip I dived into, knew it would come in useful for something, ha ha. Talk about upcycling, nothing gets wasted here.

Right, I'm off to chill, a nice mug of hot chocolate before bed time. Thanks for visiting. Toodle pip
