Evening all

Thought I'd post just before I get ready to go out. Forgot to make ds an early tea so his dad is having to sort that. Made chocolate brownies with the cream cheese. It wasn't my best looking, or tasting creation. Sent half of it with ds for his dad for father's day lol.

Lynsey - All that chocolate. How dare you post a pic of hazelnut choc when I could just eat a few chucks! :mad:

Sequeena - Good idea doing a pizza in a wrap. I've made one out of those square warbutons wraps, that came out nice. Baby proofing, just getting out of that, although ds told me he had to take a tablet last night so I rushed into the kitchen thinking 'omg' and found out he'd stolen one of my sis' sweetners! Not good tho, he got a lecture.

Right, better go get my hair dried!

ms_night_ryder

Lipstick i like your style, sending the brownies for fathers day lol good one.

As for your ds sorry but that was funny, him calling a sweetner a tablet how old is he? thank god it wasnt an actual tablet though.

So i stuck to the plan amazingly ive just had a jacket potato with cheese and half a bagged italian pepper salad was really yum, used red rooster potatoes and it smelled and tasted really nutty, which complemented the salad, was pleased i made the effort, because i had investigated what discounts for the pizza place lol and contemplated chinese, so saved my money and a ton of calories. What i didnt do though was put loads of potatoes in at the same time, i only put 3 in, realised i could have scooped them and made mash and froze sum doh! next time.

Will be having dinner at my grandmas tomorrow, will stop in m&s on the way and get a apple pie and custard, also have a cake bar that i want to try will open in in the pretence of sharing and lea/ve it at my grandmas, she can share the calories around, dont want it in my house as i will eat it all lol, may scoop out the remaining 2 jackets and make a mash for tomorrow lunch to have with a burger or defrost 2 cooked sausages and have that for lunch, or defrost 2 slices of bread and have a sausage sandwich, which sounds more likely now i type it lol, used a whole block of cheese from the double cheese glitch, have 1 block left about 2 weeks of its sel by left, grated most of it and put it in the freezer, didnt buy any fruit or veg this week, still have 1/3 the pre prepped veg in the fridge, 4 tins of sweetcorn 4 mini corn on the cobs in the freezer and a unused bag of farmhouse veg in the freezer, so i will make do for this week, also have 3 apples and a satsuma left for fruit, sure i have a tin of fruit somewhere in the cupboards, i will deffo get my 5 fruit and veg a day, been eating tons of veg lately.

You guys and your chocolate hoards, i really couldnt have that amount in my house, i really have no will power!

Lip_Stick

lol ms_night_ryder, same here with the will power. If I buy treats in bulk I ask my mam to look after some of them, so I have just enough for a week. Thing is tho, she tends to eat them herself lol.

Ds has just turned 5. The other week he'd picked at his finger and wanted some cream. I went into the bathroom to find him rubbing mosquito repellent on it. :rotfl:

Right time to go! Enjoy your evening all. I may turn up later... a bit smashed.

I was hoping to not baby proof for a while (my son has been ill so was behind development wise) but in the last 2 months he's gone through a huge developmental leap and caught up to babies his age. A complete shock to the system.

Tonight's dinner is spaghetti bolognaise and so far it looks awful. I'm a bit of a newbie to cooking.

Lynsey

Lovely carvery, I'm stuffed.
Cost £5.99 for 2 carveries and free glass of wine and a free pint!!
Thinking of printing off more vouchers and going for lunch on Tuesday - same again, thank you.
I would recommend all to join up via email to all the pub groups in your area, you often get emailed vouchers for 50% off meals, free deserts, free drinks etc. and you can "tweak" it a bit.

Popped into Sainsbury's and not much reduced, but finally got my potatoes. :j

King Edwards from £2.00 to 49p = 49p
TTD clotted cream from £1.99 to 29p =29p
WW loaf from 96p to 10p = 10p (for birds, hope they don't think I'm putting them on a diet)
2 x litres Cravendale at £1 each and used 2 x 50p coupons = £1.00

Total = £1.88
Total for day = £12.00
Total for week = £18.08

I've done well these last weeks after telling myself off for buying any bargains available - I really need to concentrate on what's in freezers.

Week 24, so update as 4 x 6 weeks.

Weeks 1 - 6 = £87.74
Weeks 7 - 12 = £126.69
Weeks 13 - 18 = £165.57 (stocked up on Nescafe)
Weeks 19 - 24 = £113.86 (hols reduced this)

Total for 24 weeks = £493.86
Weekly average = £20.58

Well pleased with the weekly average, expected it to be higher.
Next 2 weeks will take it to 6 month mark (half-way) and will be below my £600 initial target as I won't spend more than £25 per week over the next 2 weeks - so under £550.00.
That leaves a "massive" £950+ for the second half, which give a £36+ per week average.

BTW - chocolate has NOT been touched as yet.
Making scones tomorrow to use up clotted cream, but no planned meals as can't face food at the minute - probably just snack tomorrow.

Hi all

Lynsey - wow what a stash of chocolate. I bought 4 bars (makes me seem like the poor kid on Willie Wonka lol) but I only eat it a couple of days before my TOTM so 4 bars will last me about 4 months lol.

Lipstick - have a good night out.

Edwardia - congrats on losing weight. Shame about only being able to wear your trousers a couple of times but I am sure losing weight is a better feeling.

sequeena - wow totally with you on the baby proofing. I have an 11 month old and he is now walking so we are now baby proofing to a different level. Can't wait for the day he learns what 'no' means lol.

Ms Night-Ryder - sounds like you have a lovely day planned at your grans. Love the idea of taking the cake bar to hers and leaving it there.

Do they ever? :rotfl: Kids! :eek: One of my DS has split up with his partner - again! Another one wants to borrow money! :eek:

We had lamb kebabs, egg fried rice and side salad for dinner.
Mr F got a tub of HM crumble and a HM sultana muffin out of the freezer. In went some blocks of cheese. Mr F! :mad: He does stock control on the garage fridge - it had cheese in there - forgot to tell me about - I trimmed off the penicillin - Mr F can eat it! :rotfl:
