    After yesterdays stock check of the freezers i hav sat today and worked out a meal plan for September and 1 for October too :T and still have enough on the list to probably do 1 for November too ;) so now i know what "whoopsies" to keep my eyes open for.... no more mozarella for now -i have 10 pack of various sorts in the freezer :o

    I fetched another 1lb of tomatoes in today -so have roasted them in the oven with a drop of kalamata olive oil, garlic, rock salt and cracked black pepper and split them into 2 bags and frozen... i nearly had them on toast as they tasted divine :p but thought i would save some for the mserable winter months.. the next batch im making into cream of tomato soup nomnomnom

    Have got some x stitching and knitting done today, and made a loaf of bread

    Tomorrow i want to get a batch of baguettes done and one of the courgette tea loaves too- i have a 4lb loaf tin -so im going to make a double batch up..then slice and try and wedge in the freezer ;) oooohh and i have to report that i still haven't touched those whoopsed muffins i got a couple of weeks ago ..6 blueberry and 6 choc chip..and still have 3 brownies i made left in the freezer too :A :rotfl:

    Aw :o Thanks for the good wishes:T
    I've had my hair done :eek: It was a new colourist as the regular one is on maternity leave, she suggested 'lifting it slightly' (I have 2 colours of highlights normally) ..........It's really light for me, I'm almost blonde :eek: but I like it :D And I went out in my size 14 jeans which now fit a treat :cool:

    I've had cauldron sausage, mash, corn on the cob and asparagus for tea, very nice it was too:D although I made too much mash and had to leave some - that's very good for me 'cos I would normally have finished it even if I was stuffed :j

    I think I might have a bath in a bit and then watch Casualty in my jimjams.......

    Like the song Frogga, can't stand the Olympics though, that's something I won't be watching :p

    See you tomorrow folks!

    Just spotted you MrsM! Hairdo was much less than usual, I'm sure the girl made a mistake but I didn't say anything!!

    Right, catch up time for me:
    Yesterday:
    B - milky coffee
    L - one scrambled egg on one slice of toast
    D - burger in a roll with cheese, onion, lettuce and tomato
    S - strawberries (about half a punnet!)

    Today:
    B - milky coffee
    L - Weezle-recipe guacamole in two small rolls
    S - 6 chilli coated peanuts
    D - corn on the cob with butter, HM yogurt with cherry jam

    I'm peed off though, my mint aeros have been stolen and scoffed :mad: The empty package is upstairs, and I know it's neither me nor OH who's eaten them. I'm utterly fed up of certain people thieving things which are not theirs - it's been an ongoing problem for years :cry:

  • ((Rockie)) hope things sort themselves out soon.

    Frogga, your brilliant lyrics did make me smile this morning. Seriously getting on my own nerves now though, several hours later and I'm still warbling away a-OOOOOOOOO-oooo-ooooooooo......

    Been over to friends this afternoon, their cat had kittens the other day and it was oh so tempting to say I'll have one of them but living near a busy road it just wouldn't be fair.

    Still on the straight and narrow foodwise despite having been back in work a week. I have to go on a course the week after next, 2 nights in a hotel which means 2 lots of cooked brekkies:D ...... could stick to grapefruit and cereal I suppose but very much doubt that's going to happen somehow!!

    Eaten today....

    weetabix
    pear
    wholemeal pitta with tuna and salad
    HM fairy cake at friend's
    pork steak with mixed veg, boiled spuddies

    Have a nice evening everyone!

    Morning all!

    off to work till 10pm soon so thought I'd pop in first!

    Anzac -hope the breakfast idea works - its always a good idea to make sure your food is evenly spread at regular intervals throughout the day, it helps to keep your blood sugar level and stops cravings!

    Rockie - hope things are better for you x

    Food plans today

    B - soaked muesli

    S - 1 small slice of wholemel toast

    L - roast dinner minus the meat

    D - salmon salad or sandwich
