Not so many fragments gathered this week, but still plenty accomplished.
I'm praying for sunshine and some hot days to ripen the tomatoes and encourage the egg plant and capsicum to grow. We're getting plenty of rain, but the days are cool and cloudy, with the odd moderately warm day thrown in each week. My garden needs sunshine and heat!
February is a no spend month for Cheapskates Club, and so for me. It' s not exactly fair to expect Cheapskaters to no spend if I don't. Not spending was easy this week, only a few salad veggies, milk and wraps were bought.
Hannah and I did do a mini op-shop crawl, but I didn't see anything I needed or wanted badly enough to break no spending month rules. Hannah picked up a Soda Stream for $5 and two genuine Moccona jars for $4 so she was happy.
We ate from the fridge and freezer this week, with leftovers being used up for lunches every couple of days. It keeps the fridge clean, and there's no waste. Any peelings have been going to the compost bin, and when we start eating more red meat I'll get the Bokashi bucket going again to be able to compost everything.
I've worked a little on the crocheted baby blanket, it is slowly growing.
Some cards have been made for the nursing home.
There was a small pile of mending that needed doing so on Thursday when my fingers weren't quite so clumsy I sewed on some buttons and hemmed a couple of pairs of shorts for Wayne.
Tuesday night was the first live show for the year, and it was lovely to be back and chatting with old friends. The break was much needed and thoroughly enjoyed, but I'm looking forward to the shows this year too.
What fragments were you able to gather this week?

We have 5 daughters and slowly they are leaving to set up their own homes .... our food bill is getting less and less as a result. One of the challenges is to not prepare so much at once - we are so used to feeding a crowd every evening it is a habit difficult to break.
