I've been sorting out my shopping bag collection so I can take the excess up to the food cupboard. They have really gotten out of control, it's going to take multiple trips to take them. In future I definitely need to get rid of extras straight away instead of stashing them to sort "later".

Pizza for dinner tonight cos I'm worth it. Plain Jane's put their prices for 2 mediums on special up to $25. Will be in the poorhouse soon at this rate. Fortunately their on special range includes marinara with extra garlic and capricciosa with anchovies.

Really struggling today to work out the reason why 'steak cut fries' are called that.

No plans this weekend. I want to do something, but I also can't be bothered.

I don't mind if this roast silverside crumbles, I'll still eat it. Photos will be taken (if I remember).

I'm feeling uninspired about dinner tonight. I've got some chicken curry, I might do that. A bit of rice, perhaps some radish raita, a bit of the zucchini pickle I made recently, and a potato & green leaf curry side dish. Hmm, I guess I found that inspiration after all.

I bought a slab of silverside as it was on special, and I truly cannot be fucked boiling it. So I am roasting it. Scored, oiled, and salted, with some quartered/sixthed potates and onions. Tomatoes will go in a little bit later.

Set and forget, baby!

yum, I just made a dessert of fresh mixed berry sauce to go with fruit, yoghurt or icecream. I had it with 2 big spoons of no fat no sugar yoghurt.

Here is the recipe. 500 g frozen mixed berries. 2 tbsps sugar, juice of one orange. Half defrost the berries then blend it all together. Eat. Keep remainder in fridge.

I just listed something free on Marketplace I wasn't sure anyone would be interested in. 15 replies in 5 minutes. I guess there's interest🤣

Night time cold and flu meds have been taken, time to sleep like I've taken a frypan to the head in a slapstick comedy.

I love the smell of an early Spring, but fuck me is it setting off my hayfever.

Fuck you Nose. You have betrayed me for the last time.

Bit of a weird question for a Friday night:

Can anyone recommend an app for budgeting/saving? I know there's quite a few around I'm just wondering if there's one that people would recommend?
