Thrift

I've taken up a vow of thriftiness which so far is going ok.  My friend, who lives on a tiny budget due to starting up her own business and just being generally thrifty, has volunteered to teach me how to do it.  Basically it involves saying no to yourself every time you want to buy something, and budgeting very tightly for the week and month ahead.  I'm going to be her style guru.  I'm not sure it's exactly a fair exchange, given that the last time I chose her an outfit, she said "have you dressed me like this for a joke?".  But we'll see.

I'm making butternut squash and beetroot leaf soup for dinner.  Hopefully it will be nice.  Or at least a bit more successful than the cremated carrot effort of last week.
