I'm eating out of the freezer and cupboards challenge

Morning all.

Went to mam's yesterday and made jam tarts. They were er....nothing to look at, but tasted very nice. Yummm. Dinner was fish cakes and mushy peas with a slice of bread, for tea I had another sausage sandwich.

I could make a good effort to do this veggie week, but can't promise anything lol, and I certainly will have to eat the roast meat at mam's on the Sunday. Wouldn't fancy telling her I didn't want it lol.

Went to Aldi yesterday to buy their butternut squash. They'd sold out but still managed to spend £8... not good when I went there to save money. Still, got some feta and goats cheese for veggie week. Can't wait til 8th Feb and I get some proper money!!!!!!!!!!!! lol.

Lipstick, they don't climb but do go upstairs, I have ramps, cages are just made to whatever size using grids so it's expanded over the years!

My fave online shop, the faux fur is lovely, check out the double level hammock and the fleece lined items

Is it meat that has part defrosted?? I've had veggie stuff do that and I've still eaten it..

Didn't think they could lol. You'll have to post a pic of their cage, I wouldn't mind seeing what it looks like. Those are nice hammocks and the postage is very good. Definitely need some of these hooks they sell..always finding one missing lol.

It was bread, potato balls, and fish fingers in the top drawer. There was some lamb mince but it'd only defrosted round the very edge. Decided to use a couple of Jamie Oliver fish cakes for my dinner though, didn't want to risk it. They're carp btw.

So went to make porridge this morning and a weevil dropped into the bowl, I'm really baffled as to how it got in there it is a Quakers individual portion and I had literally just washed the bowl! Was so disgusted i threw away the milk and porridge, I had the last 2 mini bagels instead, I'm out literally all day doing jobs, so i will have a takeaway.

I have just realisd I only cleaned out 1 cupboard, tomorrow I am going to clean and throw stuff from all of them, not cooking in there until It's all.done, It's not like it's dirty anyway, I'm also buy some containers from poundland for the pasta, flour and rice.

I found live beetles in an M&S dried mushroom risotto mix that I'd bought RTC for 20p I think it was. I'd given a pack to dad and it was him that noticed them. He told me on the day I planned to eat it and I only happened to see dad by chance. They were tiny, and I bet I wouldn't have noticed them.

I told environmental health and they picked a pack up, and apparently they were tobacco beetles. I also made a complaint to M&S and got £25 worth of vouchers. Plus I got the full price back for them lol. But, it really did put me off risotto for ages, despite the beetles just being interested in the mushrooms. M&S had changed suppliers of the risotto so it wasn't a problem for them since.

Another problem I had with food was in Spain. I had to feed ds in a hurry, he was about 2. I bought a slice of pizza from a take away pizza place in Sitges, which is quite upmarket. Sat down with ds and began feeding him this pizza, as I didn't want him to get it all over him, when I found a shard of glass just sat on top of it! :eek: I dread to think what would have happened had I allowed him to feed himself.

Evening all, today is quite cold though the snow is getting a quick shift kids not happy.

Thanks Lynsey, sure it will be fine x.

Lip_stick, you made me laugh about the time he ran off and you never noticed, that's not happened to me. My youngest dd when she was in the trolley used to shout to all the "old" ladies granny, granny until they would come over and start speaking to her, they all seemed to like it and she loved it as she was a chatterbox and loved the attention she just loved speaking to people, still the same and loves answering the phone and I'll say sorry dd answered the phone then they'll ask how old she is etc, there surprised at her age how she speaks on the phone. Her uncle phoned the other week and she didn't realise who it was and he was trying to get her to say her full name over the phone she said sorry I can't give you that information and if you can't tell me who you are I will be hanging up the phone, just as i came through and took the phone off her. She wasn't impressed when I told her who it was, mum was he trying to trick me I will get him back was her words.

Food today cereal for brekkie, lunch soup and dinner was a breakfast thing. I just had a bit of dinner.

Take care. Everyone catch up tomorrow.

Lol.. she sounds like a smart one! How old is she? Did she ever get her uncle back? You should actively encourage that she does... take a trip to the joke shop lol.

Jelly - will definitely tell you the results. Just need to get a couple of things for it first. Can't wait to try it though.

Zafiro - I'd eat a whole large bar of G&B's if put in front of me... don't really like dark choc but will eat the G&B with orange. Prefer the nuts, crispy or white though.

Lipstick - I'd prob eat the mince up sharpish but other stuff I'd worry less about, at least it wasn't loads of meat in one go.

Cage is one of these types, don't have any pics of mine uploaded (I must find a new free site to use as I'm liking the food pics on here!) but it's similar to this:

Mine is longer though! http://www.guineapigcages.com/photos/open-multi-level/p18368-2x6-with-1x2-storage-and-1x2-loft.html

When I move somewhere bigger I will just make it bigger

Today:
Breakfast - fruit bread
Lunch - more fruit bread and fruit? Fancy bean dip but can't be bothered to make bread to go with it though could have oatcakes..
Dinner - prob use another bolognaise portion out the way. Would like to make a bit of space so I can home bake some bread and stick a couple in the freezer.
