I have been eating the store cupboard and have had to go to sains to re-stock! Ate the freezer contents too! Resisted buying a ready made cottage pie thingie for tea even though i can't be bothered to cook after a long day. Will be strong and make a cold tuna pasta sald effort and have leftovers tomorrow. Willpower!

Must say you have bigger cupboards than me!!

On the beauty products are any 'matching'? ie toner / cleanser / moisturiser.
These could be put in a pretty box with some tissue paper and made into xmas presents.

My mum and friend both emmigrated 2 years ago, both are 'bargin' hunters (as in buy it coz its on offer and then never use it!! ) I ended up with all the stuff they didn't pack and take with them. It took me 18mnts to use up all. :eek:

haha they are full to bursting and some of it is in my bedroom too !!
the "beauty" stuff is a)clearly not working :rotfl: and b) just practical stuff that i have bought for me to use whilst it was cheap so definitely not prezzie material

thanks for the ideas though

Nearly finished a 3kg bag of pasta we have had about 2 years today, one more meal and that will be the end of that then only 2 small bags to tackle:o We are mnaging to stick to the meal plan this week.

Using up eggs, cheese, pepperoni and some new pots and frozen veg tomorrow. I will also bake some biscuits and buns to knock a couple of feet off the baking mountain.

I have just realised I have a load of veg that needs to be used today (we wont be around for much of the weekend so it will go off otherwise) It seems I cant resist 10/20/50p reduced veg in sainsburys

Wondered if anyone creative could help with ideas as to how to use it up?

I have
1 pack of 5 mini parsnips
2 large corn on the cob
1 cucumber
10 cherry toms
small ammount of baby spinach (no fresh enough to have raw)
3 large and 1 small leeks
small bit of brocolli
6 mushrooms
spring onions
3 carrots
4 peppers

Need to have dinner tonight for 2and the rest needs to be made in to things I can freeze I suppose.

have sausages, quorn pieces, 2 trout, chicken breasts, port shoulder steaks in the freezer but if I need to pop out and buy some bits I can do

Oh and have some new pots, baking pots and onions in the cupboard.

have sausages,

These a sausage casserole there, (I saw that as I've just made one)

Score the sausage lengthways and slip the skin off.
Chops into nice bite sized pieces and fry to brown
Tip sausages into a casserole and cook chopped spring onions.
Put parsnips and leeks into casserole.
Make stock, I had beef sausages so used beef oxo.
A sprinkle of flour into the onions if you have it and mix this well.
Pour stock onto onions.
Tip chopped mushrooms in and stir.
Pour over sausage and pop in oven at gas mark 6 for 40 mins or to suit your oven.
