I ate a portion and then put the rest in tupperware so I wouldn't be tempted to it all. I went to the video store and rented a movie to take my mind off the stress. I think everyone does this.

Maybe I'll catch a comedy like Zack and Miri or Role Models. Or maybe even a kid's flick like Madagascar 2. :-D<BR/><BR/>jpkittie: Mmmmm... pie... Heh heh. I always buy myself carrots but I never seem to eat them! (Shame on me!)<BR/><BR/>frugal-z and MMK: I'm athletically challenged but walking sounds like a great idea. I might start this morning. <BR/><BR/>sharon: Mmmmm, the curry sounds good. Cooking is not my best talent but practice makes perfect, right? I just need to snap out of this lethargic funk I'm in right now. :-PShtinkykathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13463418160441246011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8824441942893023866.post-82089838934581223162008-11-09T01:33:00.000-08:002008-11-09T01:33:00.000-08:00Hi there-my vice is the thrift shopping, i set mys...Hi there-my vice is the thrift shopping, i set myself a weekly budget, but still went over a bit yesterday!! Still, I'm trying to start cooking a bit more (hubby generally cooks the dinners) as something to do and as motivation for not eating out. I made a lovely potato and chickpea curry yesterday, which I worked out was only around £2 to make. If we had bought an Indian takeaway, it would have been around £15-£20! Could you maybe source some yummy recipes and make stuff, which could last a few days?Sharon Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15792904322725966887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8824441942893023866.post-60786159534175951982008-11-08T16:20:00.000-08:002008-11-08T16:20:00.000-08:00Yeah, I'm having some serious economy-related appe...Yeah, I'm having some serious economy-related appetite control issues as well. Last year I "replaced" that habit with lots and lots of walking, but today the weather sucked...so down went 1/4 box of Honey Bunches of Oats.
