What I do is buy the frozen and then add some things to it, just stuff that you have in the fridge usually works. Maybe some left over cold cuts that you need to get rid of or some vegatables.

I usually buy the middle of the road kind - the ones with the rising crust? I've tried the discount cheapies and they are just that, even if kicked up. The middle ground is just good enough to fill yas so long as you supplement with salad, soup and/or fruit lol.

You soooo remind me of my own daughters... I love reading your posts!!! Go with the crockpot idea....as long as no one gets into it at your dad's while you are moving stuff it will be a nice dinner for you when you finally get a break!! Good luck this weekend! We'll be interested in your progress!!!

It's Friday, and I know you're busy and won't be looking at this, but I just wanted to say I was thinking of you and of how excited you will be to have your own place tonight!

Hey everyone!! Dh and I moved this morning. Just me and him and let me tell you it was so rough I ended up crying and breaking down a few times because my body was just giving up. DH was going on 46 hours of no sleep because he works 3rd shift and I could not sleep the night before...but here I am! In my apartment, on my computer! We moved almost everything. There is still clothes, and a few car rides back and fourth worth of stuff at my dads, but we can get that any time! We got the cats tonight, and my rattie, and I even unpacked most of it. I love unpacking my stuff!!! DH passed out about an hour ago. He needed sleep!!

But what was I thinking I would have time to make meatballs and spagetti for dinner??? Am I wacky!? There was no time at all. Between comcast coming, getting the truck, and having to have it back at a certian time, and everything it was a crazy day!!

We had pizza for lunch and got chick-fil-a sandwiches and fries for dinner (with a coupon of course!). I do however have ground beef thawing and my crock pot all set up for spagetti and meatballs for dinner tomorrow! Dhs cousin and 2 toddlers are coming over tommorow to spend the night, and dad and brother is also coming AND I am going to PA to pick up my other 2 ratties so tomorrow should be busy but this is all mostly tomorrow evening.

So yeah...thats what been happening today!!!

We just moved this fall. It was the first time in 30 years, and I thought I would absolutely fall apart. The house we moved into had a dirty fridge and oven. I knew I couldn't use them until I cleaned them. Also knew that we had a deadline to meet with the UHaul and that we couldn't devote a lot of time to meals. So we did fresh fruit, cheese, nuts, bagged salad, chicken from the grocery store deli, and a loaf of bread from the bakery. That was fast, and gave us good energy food for the move. It was food that we could grab and carry while we went back and forth. My best to you this weekend. Just thinking about our move now gives me goose bumps!!

P.S. I want to add, I will never ever move again unless I have a whole bunch of people helping!!! I will hire some movers. Very unfrugal but I was about to have a nervous breakdown today, lol.

Tomorrow night you need to get some cheese and crackers and wine and toast your new place. Your out of dads place. Now go get a night sleep. Congrats. (Oh and quit your sniveling .lol)

**AnW819** · 03-12-2010, 09:12 PM

Haha, I can't sleep for some reason!!! I am sure I will get tired soon though!

Welcome home, Ashley

Congratulations on the new place! Our out of state move just about did me in, I lost 16 lbs. due to the non-stop activity, no sleep and stress! Glad all the moving is behind you and now you can just enjoy your own home and get some rest!

**frugalfoster** · 03-13-2010, 01:55 PM

So it's mostly done!!! Cool!!! Now to get on to living life in it's next chapter!!! I'm sure moving must have been really hard with just the two of you doing it by yourselves...but think of all the money you saved!!! Good for you!!!
