My dds have missed out on about 30 parties so far; 30 x €10 = € 300. There are also no grown-up parties, so large savings on gifts there, too. We just send nice cards and we videochat (that's in all our friend group, so no-one is missing out or more spoiled than another).Siebrienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7122163157306498894.post-3880865254723232722021-03-03T23:16:23.909+11:002021-03-03T23:16:23.909+11:00Still picking broccoli shoots and pulling the last...Still picking broccoli shoots and pulling the last of the winter carrots here. Starting to plan my garden and trying desperately not to plant anything to early as we are still a few weeks away from the last frost. I’m itching to get back out there.

I haven't grocery shopped as mum and I have spent three days and two nights in hospital this week. I think I am getting value for my money from my health fund this year. I also feel brighter after an iron transfusion so it was worth the trip.Suzannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7122163157306498894.post-54162288951265951652021-02-27T14:22:00.388+11:002021-02-27T14:22:00.388+11:00I'm starting to plan my garden.

I hope to write out my schedule for planting seeds and for when I want to get things in the garden. This weekend I want to search for white sweet potatoes. I like the orange ones but sometimes they are too sweet.<br />In the meantime we need to eat more from the freezers. Broccoli, spinach, fruit, zucchini shreds. And I need to count what I have jarred yet, tomato juice, salsa, relish, jams.<br />Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02633912756265339462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7122163157306498894.post-25848369235554555342021-02-27T13:23:25.943+11:002021-02-27T13:23:25.943+11:00What a productive week you’ve had Wendy.
