The empty tubs from the case of pineapple (Tesco, wish I'd ordered more) are great containers for playdough!

Just heard from #1 son that he and his gf have placed their first order, so I had to go and check the AF website, and ended up placing another order.......

BTW - don't give up hope if something you want is showing OOS - I thought I'd missed the Chocolate fudge cake mix the other day, but ordered some other stuff anyway, and checkily out 'chocolate fudge cake pleeeeeeeeease' in the comments section - when my order arrived, no scone mix, but 2 packs of chocolate fudge cake. I am one happy bunny!

Had Orzo wild mushroom for dinner, I'm not a vegie so fried a rasher of bacon, onion & garlic in a pan stirred into the orzo with a littled grated cheese. Was absolutely delicious. BUT is one sachet, there's 2 in a pack, supposed to be 2 servings? If so I'm one greedy maid. Unless you have as a side dish I can't see a man being happy with 1 sachet & I could have eaten more but I am greedy.
Had the nut roast last night with added fried onions, mash pots, carrotts parsnips & onion gravy. Again really good.
All that sounds good & healthy doesn't it, now to add,
Crisps, Walkers sweet chilli, excellent. Kolak hot & spicy, very spicy but nice, Truller paprika crisps, ok but eat quick as are tasting a little stale. Might benefit from sticking in hot oven for a couple of minutes?
Dark mars bars delicious, much better than ordinary ones.
Licorice also wonderful.
Go ahead cereal bars also good.
I want to find an order buddy or 10.
Anyone in Plymouth or nearby?

I only just tried the instant custard which I don't normally buy as I would make it with milk...I was amazed!! You just stir it in and it is ready.A miracle of science:p

Did you put them in the oven hermum? Or were you just on a "clearing up" mission?

Over the weekend my kids found my *secret* stash of Sharwoods spiced Thai cracker, and polished off my last two bags,,,shall have to find a better hiding place next time,,,hopefully they will come back soon. Only had 10 bags this time shall try to bag a few more to last hopefully a little longer.

Last week all our packed lunches were AF food.

Ritz with peanut butter spread on them.
Kolak crisps, small bag of peanuts, fruit pot,
and a Suso drink.
Not being that good a numbers I bet the whole weeks lunches didn't come to a fiver, and it was kinda healthy, well almost.

just received my latest order, everything lovely, no subs and now hopefully I have a years supply of sun dried toms in oil, and jars of peppers, Jordans county crisp cereal and spicy nuts. because of all the glass the charity shop lady will be pleased to see me when I hand over all the bubble wrap.

I also got a lot of non food items, just to let you all know the bubble baths, washing up liquid and shower gel was in a plastic bag so that any leaks would not escape, thankfully it was not needed.

I wasn't going to order this week, but was lured in by the tofu :j
