It's not hard...

I get a little irritated when people say they can't eat healthy on a tight budget.  We live on a food budget of $240 maximum per fortnight.  There are two things I cannot live without.  The $120 food challenge and my freezer.  I read Sandra's posts on how to make the challenge work for you.  She said look for the specials each week in the supermarket.  I love doing this because it means we can have things we may not normally eat.  For example, we had prawns tonight.  Thanks Coles for having them on special a couple of weeks ago.  I was able to freeze them then pull them out.  I served them up with some left over asparagus risotto.  Also thanks Coles for that.  It was a really great meal for not a lot of money.  I need to do more of these things instead of having one of those "oh my god what an I going to do about dinner" moments.  I now need to try to get organised for the food for the next couple of weeks.  What's on special, where?  With such wonderful things like freezers, specials and $120 food challenge, why do people buy packet stuff?  Is it lack of education? Time poor ness (if that's a word) or just plain laziness?

Wet washing hanging on the line...  Or not

I recently started to follow the organised house wife's great blog to try to improve my organisational skills.  It's a great place and there are excellent tips, but do you think I follow them?  No.  The washing is a task that is constantly falling behind.  Right now there are two baskets sitting in the lounge room, one on the line and one in the clothes dryer.  There is also a load in the hamper downstairs and stuff waiting to go in.  I try to keep a routine, but sometimes when you have a baby, it's a bit difficult to hold down the routine.

Solution, I need to be more disciplined about the washing.  Maybe I should close now and actually catch up on the load that is ready to go into the machine.

Hello world, there's a song that we're singing...

I'm trying to compose this post whilst watching call the midwife.  Unfortunately it's the last episode so I'll miss it.  I guess I've decided to this because I need a non-child outlet.
I'm also trying to be organised.  If you ask my poor long suffering husband, it's not happening.  Oh well, here goes.
