Thanks that looks good and i have all that in (Ofcourse i do there common things and this is me we're talking about lol) i think i'll try it over the weekend.


Just had a potnoodle (20p from AF i do like potnoodles but there def not a cheapy food even if they are cheaply made, unless bought from af ofcourse) with a glass of milk (make that 2 my first one had a massive spider swimming in it, glad i noticed before i drank it) and 2 cream crackers with cheese, ds has been grazing from the fridge and fruit bowl all day so didn't want any lunch managed to get 2 crackers into him tho or he'll be moaning he's hungry come 4.

did a meal plan til the 17th using what i had in (or more what i can see i really don't think chest freezers were very well thought threw) £10 of bits and bobs should see me threw until then, at some point when i can see abit more i'll do another meal plan until the end of next month, but right now it would be more of a guessing game.

Today we have taken out the last of our buns to use for lunches, I never thought we would get through them all.
We have also taken out 7 HM yorkshire puddings and some peppered steak to have with mash and veg tonight. I'll cook this when I already have the oven on for more buns

Yikes! A spider in your drink - I tend to just grab my drink when I am busy - make sure I look in future!

ammonite

our - two portions of curry and one portion of frozen rice.

in - a bag of peas, 2 loaves, 8 portions of mashed potato, 1 portion of soup.

Filling up again but the potatoes were starting to grow arms and legs so had to take action or bin them

My bite what you write diary has failed this week as I have been poorly. I am definitely noticing though that we tend to only eat in the house 4-5 nights out of 7 in a week.

I have also not been near a supermarket for 12 days. The cupboards still look as full as ever as does the freezer. My Mum has been to the supermarket twice and rang me both times to see if I needed anything, both times I asked for the minimum and gave her the money, so spent about £20 over the course of the two visits. Probably would have been £80 if I'd have gone myself.

Need to remember to get the meat out of the freezer the night before to defrost so it can slow cook whilst I'm at work. Thinking of making bolognaise in the slow cooker tomorrow with mince, anyone else done this before?

I use my slow cooker for bolognaise ammonite, i do enough to make a lasagna also & then add beans and spices to whats left to turn it into a chilli. I tend to use my slow cooker for things like that rather than use the gas stove top. I also use it for soups, i have a nice carrot & corriander in it at the moment.

It make a bolohnaise in my slowcooker all the time, with cheapy value you mince aswell it tends to be really fine by the time we eat it.


It's very warm today i'm now thinking if i make dinner hubby won't eat it cause he was saying yesterday it was to hot to eat proper food, and it's even hotter now, gonna phone him and see what he thinks of a bbq, i've got sausages, but i'll need to grab a packet of mince for burgers, and some baps, still should only cost £3-4.

I fell asleep beside ds3 (who also feel asleep sleepy kids make me sleepy lol i love it) but now my heads banging
