I shopped the specials, refilled the foaming hand wash and fixed the clothes line cord which broke.<br /><br />I was a bit unwell this week as not that much got done, but I'm all good now so here's to a good week. <br /><br />Love the cupcakes and all the blessings you received. Your wrapping of the Mothers day gift is beautiful, such gorgeous paper and bow. Hope you had a great Mothers day and relaxed and were spoiled. <br /><br />Blessings, MaureenMaureennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7122163157306498894.post-46672348799709401022016-05-08T09:51:35.042+10:002016-05-08T09:51:35.042+10:00It looks like you had a banner week.

You are going to have SO much stock from all that, as well as many meals from the pieces.<br /><br />The lemons look awesome. I cannot grow lemons where I live--at least not outside. It's fun for me to see what everyone else can grow. <br /><br />I did quite a bit of gardening, plus packing and sorting for my upcoming move.<br /><br />I wrote about some of the other things I did on my blog: https://beckyathome.wordpress.com/2016/05/07/saving-money-may-7-2016/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7122163157306498894.post-83459305775939918142016-05-07T14:14:39.290+10:002016-05-07T14:14:39.290+10:00this week all meals have been made from scratch, i...this week all meals have been made from scratch, including cheese sauce and pastry for a leek and bacon pie. I have baked bread and a raisin slice, need to make more bread today while the oven is on to roast a leg of lamb.<br />Water was saved to water the pot plants, I picked up some free cuttings of sage and rosemary, transplanted some self seeded lettuce, still more lettuce seedlings to move. Last night DD#2 booked us both a trip to Brisbane in June while fares are very cheap, we are just going for a weekend to see DD#1 and her children.<br />Covered a notebook with some stickers and "bling" for a friend's birthday present, added a pen, then wrapped them in brown paper(recycled) and tied with a big bow from the ribbon stash.<br />Made up a batch of soap powder, cleaned the house using vinegar and miracle spray, used the heating as little as possible and had the thermostat turned down lower than usual.<br />Bought some flowers on clearance, rewrapped them and gave to a friend who hasn't been well, plus bought some for myself, and picked a small bunch of roses for the kitchen.Meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07927294848415448775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7122163157306498894.post-24206578980295979182016-05-07T11:25:43.699+10:002016-05-07T11:25:43.699+10:00What a wonderful week you've had Wendy!

Right now I recycle mine along with plastic grocery bags. I don't know about there, but here we seem to accumulate them really quickly since just about everything is plastic here.<br />LOL I have to laugh at your toothpaste score because I have so much tooth paste it's not funny! If my oldest son needs any he comes and shops in Mama's pantry. And my sister is very happy that she gets some in her Christmas goodie box and never has to buy any. You've had a great week so I hope you have a great weekend too! <br />XOXO<br />Vicky Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
