single mum of 3 beautiful children....... I have new hopes, aspirations and dreams, 1st to get debt free, pay off my mortgage, get healthy, buy a new car (accomplished), do some much needed home improvements- phewwww - deep breath.. and spend more time with my children. In July 2011 I took redundancy due to restructuring at work, and from 31st August 2011 I was no longer a teacher.

I have used this opportunity to set up my own home based childcare business which will mean a very big pay cut, but at the same time will give me the opportunity to raise my own children, and home educate my youngest. So I am going to have to realise my dreams with a little inginuity and and a new frugal lifestyle, so this is my journey......

£1 per meal.......

my aim is to try to cost my meals and to produce healthy meals for no more and £1 per person per meal.  that is for breakfast dinner and tea.  I know a lot of things we eat come in at pennies, such as porridge, or home made bread, or the cakes I bake.

It is the main meals that can sometimes be an issue, especially when including meat.

Yesterdays meal

chicken leg 48.5p
broccoli 6p
potatoes 10p
Yorkshire puddings 12p
Total = 76.5p

we had a fruit salad for afterwards which had apple banana and clementines
banana 10p
Apple 6p
clementine 9p
total = 25p
so for dinner and desert £1.01 ( an a half penny )

not too shabby, but most importantly healthy and cheap
