Austerity drive

All discretionary income having been frivolously blown over the long weekend, strict measures are now in place to get through the next challenging couple of weeks until payday.

One main area of expenditure is dining out. Driving home a bit late this evening I was tempted to save time and collect a takeaway, but no. I would rise to the challenge. Went home and foraged for ingredients, cooked a gigantic meal, put individual portions in the freezer, then washed a mountain of dishes. This made for a less than relaxing evening.

Although I regard the staff canteen as a bio-hazard and breeding ground for E.coli, it does have the redeeming feature of an 'eat now - pay later' policy. Desperate times truly require desperate measures...
