| Almost as nice as mine, but not quite! |
I had this post ready to go last night but then lost my internet connection so here goes today, hope it works! Made it through another day without spending - I'm going to try for 5 no spend days in a row. Saturday I'll have to part with a little cash as its our annual Halloween bash - I have no idea what I'll dress up as yet but "biker chick" comes to mind....
Do YOU dress up for Halloween?? What about that "Witch" out in PEI???
You take some of the best pictures. This has to be my favorite after the flower girl picture. I do love your new boots to.
ReplyDeleteNo food shopping here either but probably milk and cheese by the end of the week

Jane, your oatmeal sounds a lot like my granola. oats, flax, cranberries made in big batches but mine is cold. I like the sound of yours better for winter. (and it sound of a good way to use up apple sauce!) Do you just warm it in a microwave each morning? how does that work?
ReplyDeleteLove the photos! Fall is so beautiful here! :) 5 no spends would be awesome!! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteThanks Judy - the more I look at that pic of the little girl the more she reminds me of Kazi at that age - she had blonde ringlets and LOVED feeding any animals she came across.
ReplyDeleteMarguerite - yes I just reheat in the microwave; cooked oatmeal will last quite a while in the fridge and then I add fresh berries/seeds/yogurt etc. I like that it keeps me from getting hungry during the morning - sticks to my ribs!
Carla: thanks! Spent too much in the first half of the month so trying to stay on budget with No Spend days:)
Pretty pictures as always. I think the biker chick idea for Halloween will be a great idea! Can't wait to see what you decide. I don't dress up for Halloween, not against it at all. Just have a lack of creativity when it comes to that.
ReplyDeleteGreat post!!! I think you are doing great with the no spend.
ReplyDeleteWe had to buy tires right after we got back from Vegas. It broke my heart!
Most excellent photograph of the girl, and you're right, those geese don't look real!
ReplyDeleteI will have to make a batch of oatmeal (who knew it would keep for days?), as Martin eats it every day. Handy to have ready to roll, so to speak.
I can't believe your fridge doesn't look much different, ha ha. You'll have to post before and after pics when you're finished your experiment!
Why didn't I think of this post title?
ReplyDeletem.
love the pics as alwaya1 autumn is my favourite season, just so many beautiful colours around.
ReplyDeletegood luck with your grocery challenge
@ Lisa: thanks, although I love the colours of Autumn I still love the "rebirth" of spring the best:)
ReplyDelete@Sonya: Murphy got ya after all your freebies in Vegas :( I did the new tires in August when I could least afford it!
@Kim - I am always looking for ways to cut down the amount of time it takes me to get ready in the morning. Oatmeal cold doesn't look too appealing but once nuked you can't tell the difference from fresh.
@Mark - perhaps your brilliance is on the wane....?
@Louise - thanks hon! It's not hard to get a great photo at this time of year!
Ha! Biker Jane? Sounds great!
ReplyDeleteI, like everyone else, LOVE the pics! Especially your boots! :)!
Witch in PEI? sounds intriguing!
Great job on your food budget...I'm still holding on too!
P.S. Love the "witch" out in PEI! :)!
ReplyDeleteJane, did you get my last comment? I think something went screwy...
ReplyDelete@Sharon: I think I got all of your comments (only you'll know for sure!:) I love love love my boots - I'm wearing them right now - in the HOUSE! Doesn't that photo of the boots look like it belongs in a catalogue lol!?
ReplyDeleteJane,
ReplyDeleteLove those new boots!! I can tell you are also extremely happy with them. Gotta love good footwear.
Sorry I haven't been around lately.
Was just down in the dumps. No real reason,well maybe work.
Anyway I'm having Rummoli party with lots of party food and drinks.
The house is totally decorated for Halloween.
You talked about making Oatmeal for the week do you have a recipe for this? I love Oatmeal also but find mine is always gummy and I've never heard of making it for the whole week. This sounds like a good idea and then I could take it to work for morning breaks.
Would love you recipe.
Have a great weekend.
@ The Witch: there you are! Work seems to be getting a lot of people down lately. I definitely believe that more and more is expected of us over the course of a work week and I'm not getting any younger! I'll post my oatmeal recipe for you - I don't find it gummy. Welcome back! I hope you'll post some pics of all of your decorating - you really go all out for Halloween!!
ReplyDeleteHooray for fall red! Kinda makes me dislike my city life a little bit.:)
ReplyDeleteSooo. Will there be a Halloween costume update post? My kids are going as WWE wrestlers. I'm thinking I WON'T be dressing up as a WWE Diva this year.
