    My cupboards and freezer(s!) are a nightmare, even though I do a stocktake every couple of months. It is partly I think because I was a skint mum of 3 for years, and now they have left home and I have a good job, I still tend to shop for all of us! Sometimes they relieve me of some of it, which helps them out:) Also, we grow a lot of fruit and veg, and one huge chest freezer is full of that. Needless to say, I only buy carrots, onions and potatoes (which I have now run out of), no other veg, and only fresh fruit for the fruit bowl. Definitely no puddings, as I can make those with all that lovely frozen fruit!

    However, that does not excuse 5 bottles of olive oil and 3 of soy sauce, 2 tubs of bicarbonate of soda, 5 lbs of raisins etc!
  • I made big boo boo last week week:
