    After resisting nibbles at a retirement do I came home and made (well defrosted:o but it was HM) chilli, rice and chips. Was Yum and I needed it by 9.30 when we got to eat eventually.

    Hi Pip, good to hear from you. Would your new bad habit be apple-bobbing? We wouldn't want you to drown yourself:D All good here, enjoying all festivities so far. Love to you and yours.

    I am still on ready meals but I have upped the quality. I will get to be more OS and MSE come new year - I promise.

    The best meal this week was ready made cheesy mash and ready made green veggies with herb butter served with some salmon I pan fried quickly. Lush!!!

    I have some potatoes and chicken for tonight. No idea what I can grab for lunch. Perhaps another spud with beans and cheese :p
