You can never have enough...

[Lilith7]

I tend to buy fresh fish from the supermarket, then egg (with a bit of ginger & lemon grass added) & breadcrumb it & freeze it. Last lot was approx $10, & I got enough for 5-6 meals from that. I no longer eat read meat so that's an expense I don't have now.
But my grocery shopping has risen too, & I wish the garden hadn't got away from me quite so much this year thanks to the heat followed by copious rain - more weeds than anything else.
Although the tomatoes & runner beans are doing well & there's at least one pumpkin out there.

 Ive always wondered how fish goes if you crumb it before you freeze it.. I started buying fish a couple of years ago, mainly cos your not paying for bones to throw away. Have to say tho I really prefer my fish battered lol

it goes pretty well really. I don't batter it mainly due to I can't be arsed - its enough mucking about just egg & bread crumbing it

Morning everyone

Its overcast and not hot, Yay

Yes Kiwimade I get an accommodation supplement. And yes I have debt. MrP was one who if he wanted something, he wanted it yesterday and didn't care how much debt we had or how I got it. And Your right it is time I faced things and went to the budget advisor. I need help.. Wow I said it ..

I sold some jewelry yesterday so I can go to Pukekohe this morning and get some more magnesium. Its my pain life saver and thankfully my cheapest supplement. I asked the Dr if you can get it on prescription, but sadly you cant. Not only has it stopped all the cramp but my muscles are far more relaxed so I dont get as much pain now.

Your right Mica the hourly rate in doing alot of pour crafts makes it prohibitive to make for others..

MrP had a terrible sleep on Tuesday night so was very tired and snappy yesterday, but I think hes starting to learn that its not all fun and games out here either.  Finally

I better rattle my daggs want to be out and back before any sign of it warming up cos I imagine it could get humid again.

Have a fab day everyone

Good luck with it all Popeye - I think Kiwimade's right. I've heard nothing but good about the budgeting advice people, & its likely they can help you sort things out & improve the situation.
