For Valentines Day DF bought me a rose plant, a teddy bear and a box of chocolate and I wasn't even expecting it because we never do anything for Valentine's Day. Actually usually I buy him a little chocolate, but I didn't this time!
I have been thinking about moving into the new house, and how this will affect our dinners/grocery shopping habits. It is quite a bit away from shops (ok, so it will be about 10 minutes drive instead of 3 minutes drive...for me that's a difference!) Also, apart from being further away, my main aim is to shop less so I decrease the 'extra' purchases you get when just ducking into the shops for one item. It's all about saving money!
So I had a suggestion on a thread in the forums I started (i would credit but I can't remember who it was - i *think* it was disneysteve?) where I should make a list of all the meals we eat regularly that are cheap and easy, and have ingredients on hand for those. So what I have decided to do is keep a list for a while, of the dinners we eat. It will give me a good idea of what we eat.
I will probably start a 'page' on the sidebar, or have separate blog entries... Hmm! I don't know how I'm going to record them... But for now I will just list them in daily blog entries until I figure out what I'm doing I am a little excited I have decided to do this. It will make me look at our routine as well, and how often we 'experiment' with our meals. Also I might be able to work out how to cut costs with some things.
Ok well, to start with!

Just an observation, I like the way you write the date. I'm a Spanish teacher and my students have a hard time with it because in English the month comes first. I told them to think of legal documents. For example today's date: the 15th day of the month of February of the year 2009.
