Well after much hooing and hawing we have ordered a new Freeview recorder and a new television....well I suppose thats what savings accounts are for!
So looked at how we could curb our spending for a while to build it back up again and suggested that we have 2 vegetarian meals a week - well - you think I had suggested living on bread and dripping!!!!! My family (well, dh and youngest dd) seem to think money grows on tree. As I pointed out we would not be in the position to buy these things if I didnt economise and save up.
Am I wasting my time? should I just be like everyone else and have a brand new car and caravan and shiny new sofas every year and be up to my eyeballs in debt????
Noooo - been there done it and paid it all back - I am never going there again.
So found 2 lovely recipes in the Asda free magazine - asparagus with feta in filo pastry and bean/mushroom burgers - so will report back to see how it goes!
Light up the town.

When they ask what's for tea on those two days I'd just say "filo parcels" or "burgers" and not mention the V word. You may find that they don't realise that they are veggie meals if you don't mention it. Funnily enough for some reason my family would never twig on that a pizza without meat was veggie or that cheesy pasta was veggie! I guess they felt these werre familiar foods so didn't notice. xxx
