Well yesterday's Mummies and Munchkins meal was a huge success, Finn and I shared a meal so the whole afternoon only cost me £5, and him and his friends played for hours in the free play area and us mums had a good old catch up. The cupcakes were very well received, and no-one had to fork out for dessert and another mum had bought crackers and party bags while the pub supplied free craft packs and balloons for the kiddies, it's fab to know that you can do something really fun and it not cost you the world.
Finn having fun on the slide!
Other good news today: Hubbie came home with a bottle of Australian Red Wine and a crate of 18 Becks , courtesy of a client, which starts off our Christmas alcohol selection well and would've cost us approx £14 for the two so I am going to transfer this to our savings woo hoo every little helps!

Today has also been a great success with the slow cooker, we now have a lovely quorn and veggie stew for tea for tomorrow and all the ingredients are ready to make a tomato sauce and risotto in there tomorrow. I found a great blog today with lots of recipes and hints for slow cooking: http://crockpot365.blogspot.com/2008/02/creamy-crockpot-risotto.html, which has inspired me to try and use mine everyday to batch cook very cheaply.
I've also been trawling through a few of the diaries on MSE about becoming mortgage free - these guys are amazing and so inspiring, it made me think that maybe the money we save in 2010 may be better put towards an overpayment as opposed to an extension... hmm food for thought!
