    Mornin'ish, hope all are well.

    Some good freezer lists .................. you shouldn't need to shop for at least a week. :D

    I'm just snacking today and main meal will be the hot beef "stotties" once I get the "stotties". Hubby will get some from Morries later when he gives blood.
    Took out a Cornish pasty for later, one of us will eat that and 2 of the 3 eggs gone this morning. Trying to tidy up on "bits 'n' bobs".
    Macoroni cheese is coming out for hubby tomorrow and I'm having a stir fry with garlic prawns. lol

    Spent the morning printing coupons, just need to find a bin bag to carry them all. :rotfl:

    Only 2 more days to cheap chocolate. ;)

    Afternoon all.

    I had the rest of the smoothie today for breakfast, lunch was the last of a pack of pancetta, grilled, then i put some mozerella on top of the pancetta, baked 2 part baked rolls in the oven, added black pepper and added it to a roll, was lovely.

    Forgot to put the rest of the mash in fridge, it was only 1 ys portion, so 30p down the drain, unsure of what i am having for dinner, have to some mackrel and have some mozerella that needs using and some beets, dont know what i could possibly make with that lol.

    Found that i had a living social credit, so used it to get my grandma a voucher for £15 worth of flowers for £7, only £2 to pay with the credit, it added the crdit, then confirmed £2 would be taken, then it went to another screen and confirmed £7 would be taken, the credit is still there, dunno what they will charge, dont want the deal if i cant use my credit, dunno if i should give them a ring.

    Lynsey help? lol

    May go to mr s later, need ribena, onions and stuff, need to hunt out any coupons, i need chips.

    I have puff and filo pastry, anyone have a good idea for use with mackrel, beets or mozerella, off for a look on internet.

    ms_night_ryder that roll sounds yummy OH would love that !

    Does the website have a customer services number or contact us form online ? Or is there something in the FAQs ?

    Lunch was a Higgidy pie with salad, I think we've got Cloud Nine organic meatballs tonight..

    Bank statement arrived and I was over food budget by £100 and I freaked until I remembered all the extra stuff I had to buy for OH when he stayed in London for eight days.

    4 sausages out for sausage pasta bake tonight. Will also take a garlic bread from the freezer.

    I didn't realise you could freezer butter! Will be doing my own freezer list once I've tidied the kitchen.

    NSD food wise but got a large plastic tray originally meant for putting dirty welligtons on for £1.99 I'm using it to put the dog water bowls on :) also 2 Thomas tank DVDs at £2.99 each (oh insisted).

    Doing a shop with mr T tonight to be delivered on Saturday. No freezer stuff just cupboard and washing powder (half price at the mo).

    ms_night_ryder - re: Living Social, just give them a ring if any issues, but I think they charge you in full and credit back the £5 - give it a day or 2 and check you card statement.
    You should see eg:
    Flowers £7
    Refund/credit £5
    Should all be resolved once the voucher for the flowers becomes available - your credit should disappear.

    Only spent 69p so far on the bread, told hubby NOT to buy anything else and he didn't - God, he has a good teacher. lol

    Probably off to Asda later to use coupons and see what's reduced.

    Sequeena - Not just butter, but lard, smoked salmon and Mozzarella too.

    Brilliant idea about the tray -does it have a lip ? Labrador is the messiest eater and shoves his dinner bowl round the kitchen floor. I have some Homebase vouchers somewhere..

    Edwardia the roll was yummy, i have taken to doing it man vs food style, you know where the diners place meat on the grill and add the cheese etc after, lol yeah that,except mines a george foreman which i love! my most over used crimbo pressie ever! it makes a little more creative with the toppings etc, i have just had another one, this was peppered mackrel and mozerella with beetroot on the side.

    I have 1 more ball of mozerella to use, the bag split, i put 2 in the freezer and there was one already in there, i have also put in the freezer 2 bags of pepperedmackrel fillets.

    Went to iceland on the way home to get some duck spring rolls, i love their ones lol, instead i got a pack of 14 fish fingers birdseye £1, a block of cheese a pack of vegetable fingers by birds eye lol i was curious, so thought i would try them, a juice drink and a 6 pack of mini milks as it was hot, didnt do whoopsie shopping, but did get some ribena and i think somebody elses till spit, because all i bought was the ribena, but didnt see the till spit coming out, it was £3 off a £20 shop, i could do with using that.

    Lynsey i gave them a call, ls and they explained it how you did, so we shall see, i didnt know ls did credits, but it takes months, i stumbled across it by accident in my junk folder dont even remembering registering interest.

    Going to have a muller light, then watch the mens 200m finals :)
