    I finally got round to inventorying the freezer. We currently have:

    Haddock in crumb
    8 sausages x 2 packs
    2 burgers (Great big ones from Costco)
    Whole chicken x 2
    Stuffed pork belly
    Chicken breast x 4 packs
    Mince x 2
    Doughballs (40 of the damn things because they were reduced to 62p)
    Sliced peppers
    Frozen peas
    Tomato/chickpea concoction x 2 (For my lunches)
    *edit* Ooh and meatballs too (Beanie reminded me!)

    I think I need a mealplan now :D

    Oooh pass the dough balls F_F :grin:
    Love doughballs.
    Run out of meatballs.
    Most annoying as I get them from Ikea.
    Too far to go just for meatballs.

  • I love Ikea meatballs, pre-child days, we would drive to Ikea JUST for the meatballs! (and not even use the Ikea Family card, oh the shame!) :o
    I'll get there!

    Mealplan

    Thursday - bolognaise (Make a vat and freeze some)
    Friday - haddock with tatties and peas or beans
    Saturday - stuffed pork with tatties and veg
    Sunday - chilli (Make a vat and freeze)

    I'm then away from Monday until Wednesday night, so Mr Fresian can eat chilli/bolognaise while I'm gone. I'm also going to buy him some other little bits so he won't starve. He's off cheese at the moment due to headaches, so his normal staples of cheese sandwiches and cheese on toast are out of his reach :rotfl:

    Surely now you have a child you can excuse it as a day trip (They have a ballpit for Toddles!)
  • I wouldn't be able to resist the temptation! All that cheap furniture would totally destroy my new found DFW habits!!

    I think the last time we went we spend near £300 on nothing, on the credit card, AND don't even start me on the price of petrol to get there!! :o
    I'll get there!
