Im definitely up for this. Anyone got any ideas for 3 boxes of crackers for cheese (bearing in mind we have no cheese)

Will have a go at this as have too much in the way of clothes. I keep things and thinking I don't remember having this............ stopped buying shoes.......having finally got all my stuff out of storage after moving many times in my late teens and early twenties its scary looking at how much stuff I have.............though I don't think I'll be wearing the goth stuff again........don't think it would suit now I don't dye my hair traffic light red! (I'm blonde)

Don't let the Goth stuff go to waste - put it on Ebay and get some of your costs back!

I've been using all the meals up that were in my freezer over the past month - I counted 23 in all which is a mad number for a single person! Now I'm very organised with a list on the freezer door so I know exactly what's in there.

I am up for this or bathroom is full to bursting and needs to be empty beggining of March so lots to lose and money to save for new suite.

I would probably give a box or two to my daughters pre-school for snack time???

Oooh put me down for this!

I defrosted the freezer last night and so now I know exactly what is in there.... and the tin cupboard is stacked full .... so I'll aim only to buy fresh ingredients to 'go' with either tin or freezer items needing using up!

I also have a habit of hoarding toiletries and things so have bags and bags full of old half full things lying around ..... as long as they're not too old (as most toiletries are given a shelf life now aren't they) I'll use them all up before I buy anything new!

Great idea.

Should get my wardrobe sorted too - I have clothes in there ranging from size 12 to size 16 .... really should decide what fits me now and what I can shrink into!!

How about using them up by lining a loose bottomed tin with crunched up crackers and making a savoury sort of quiche.Rather as you would do with digestive biscuit base fo a cheese cake . ?

We hade Use up January at Chez MATH so my freezer and cupboards are bare! I have managed to eek out one more meal out of nothing tho before I do a 'big shop' tomorrow. I've defrosted 5-6 individual portions of unidentified stew and casserole found lurking behind a bag of oven chips in the freezer, all mixed together they make an 'interesting medley' and topped with par cooked cubbed potato drizzled with a little olive oil and plenty of cracked pepper. Stick in the oven for an hour tonight and we're done.

All I need to do now is think up an apitizing name for this creation. The MATHLETTS usually call such lovingly crafted dishes 'ROADKILL on a PLATE' or " FREEZERBURN FRICASE" - I cast my pearls before swine - I really do. LOL
