Cutting The Food Bill

[poliphilo]

We borrowed a hell of a lot of money to get the house fixed.

(Mortgage- a sinister word; doesn't it mean something like "hand of death"?)

And Ailz proposes that it is merely sensible, merely decent, that we limit our spending in the run-up to Christmas.

£40 a week on food. And we've been spending something like £120. 

Can we do it? 

It's either cut the food bill or stop buying DVDs.

Hmm. That concentrates the mind. 

Fancy cheeses or a  newly released Bunuel? 

I think I know  myself well enough...

I hope I do.

This is going to be quite a test of character.

It's irrational.

I like bright, shiny objects.

I'm a jackdaw.

Haha.

I just re-registered with Netflix (after I moved, I brooded about money waste for awhile, but couldn't stand not having the latest, as you say, Bunuel...)

I get three at a time. It's wonderful.

So is Ruth Rendell. I'm reading her nonstop, and I no longer trust anyone.
