            No freezer movements.
 Last dinner at home for a week - off to see family.
 For dinner we had HM Spinach Quiche + Bovril Couscous + roasted carrots, celery, onion and tomatoes. Decluttering Achieved - 2023 - 10,364 Decluttering - 2024 - 8,365 August - 0/45 Decluttering Achieved - 2023 - 10,364 Decluttering - 2024 - 8,365 August - 0/45

            In - some wraps, we'd used some already, I wanted to save the rest for another meal.
 Out - nothing from freezer but making tikka wraps with veg out the fridge and store cupboard bits, just need to buy some quorn pieces.0

            Can I join back in please? I need to do a freezer inventory in the morning as I really don't know what I have in there. I know there is at least a full chicken, some steaks and some fish but as it is full to bursting there must be more that I can make meals from.
 I have some lentil soup bubbling away now for lunch tomorrow. I will pull some buns out of the freezer to go with it.
 I really need to stop spending money and use what we have in.
 I hope everyone is well, it has been months since I have been on here.£36/£240

            Out - veggie burgers and chips ( that's the plan anyway) also a Warburton thin for lunch nothing in hopefully. Freezer is starting to look bare! But will be doing batch cooking soon. So will fill quickly.0

            Soworried:- Welcome back, I remember you from around spring time when I was originally posting. I too have had a main part of the Summer off but like yourself I need to get things under control.
 Freezer movements:-
 Nothing out - sad
 Home grown chestnuts in, not that I grew them, there just happens to be 3 very large sweet chestnuts on this place bursting with nuts so I collect a bucket full a day of nuts in their husks and process them. It give me a plastic container full (the sort you et from the chinese takeaways) and the spikey husks - I put them down fox holes. I have chickens so everything I can do to discourage them makes me feel better. 0 0

            Thankyou Zafiro:)
 Today we have taken out one portion of fish pie, and two beef grillsteaks. Nothing has went in. There is enough soup left for tomorrow for lunch and I have prepared a casserole for dinner.
 I never had chance to do an inventory but I will at some point tomorrow.£36/£240
