    Shall be posting very soon with my freezer contents (exciting!!) so I can print it at work and tape it into the Frugal Tome for reference :D

    I'm also trying to drag myself away from Being Human to make soup....but I don't want to!

    I genuinely haven't a clue. Methinks a mealplan is in order, but I'm rubbish at them :D

    I do know that my folks are down again in a week and a half and that they will be bringing me lots of free meat, meaning that I need to eat things and soon!

    I certainly plan to decant bits of Freezer 1 into Freezer 2 and eat at least one chicken in that time to make more space....I just need a plan! I know I'll be getting at least some lamb chops, shoulder and gigot of lamb. Yummy!

    The Ben and Jerrys belongs to Mr Fresian as it's the flavour I don't like :D Mine is all gone :(:(:(

    Honestly, I won't need to buy anything for a while. I challenged myself to only buy reduced meat in January and succeeded, so I'm going to do the same again in February - that should be easy enough with my folks bringing down more for me!
