starting real cooking next week.

There was not a lot of money this week, so we didn't really get a choice of what to eat as we just had to eat what we had.
But being the worst cook in the world I have decided to learn to cook properly, I am using www.sparkpeople.com for receipes. This is a healthy living/diet site and is completely free.

On Monday I am going to buy a food processor and some decent cooking utensils, we do hardly any cooking apart from opening the packet and bunging it in the oven, all thats going to change.

I am also going to buy some scales and just hope that I don't feel the need to get on them 20 times a day and get disheartened when they show an increase, of course its going to show an increase if I do it like that, you weigh more in the evening than the morning. I have no idea how much I weigh at the moment, I have done a lot more walking than normal so hopefully that will have an effect.

The other areas of my time to change are to do with money, I have successfully got back some of my bank charges after having a chat with a very nice young man from the co-op bank who thinks I am wonderful home educating, I have spoken to all the people I need to and everything is being sent to the Halifx, its a brand new account so a fresh start, I can keep a better eye on it by writing down all my incomings and outgoings and keeping an eye on direct debits now.

I am still waiting to hear from child benefit but I can do no more until then. So watch this space.

I really would like to have a bit more energy, I need to find out what vitamins I need to take and go and buy them and take them regularly.

I also need Steven to take a photo of me to put on this group, so far he has avoided it, hmm ORRRR is that me that has avoided it.

Will check in again on Monday.
Take care everyone and thanks for reading.
