Farnell do wild garlic seeds (I buy my cobnuts from them). Bit cheaper:

Roundup, I think, was one of the problems contributing to decline of bees amongst other issues.

Ooh.. thanks Kirri, they have cobnuts too and though quite a way from me, are within driving distance of my mother

My FIL and my father were great ones for chucking Roundup over stuff too but I've never seen it actually work except on seedlings

I have had several NSDs so really delighted, my neighbour going to Aldi yesterday asked me anything I want/need, spent 30 mins trying to think of something, then realised, whats the point, I am trying to think of something to buy...

Pamdish ...well done on the NSD's

I am trying really hard went to co-op to see if any bargains and not reduced enough for me to buy them:-)
Came home with nothing.

Morning all. Taking ds to soft play this afternoon, may get something to eat there too as I have a voucher for free entry. Won't be going shopping til tomorrow for fruit and veg. For some reason feel as though I'm running out of food even though I have stacks in lol.

Unsure about tea, will have to have a rummage.

zafiro - when you said outdoor animals, I expected the odd rabbit, not alpacas lol, sounds like an idilic life though! I'd love to live in the country.

Afternoon all, it's pouring down here today. Will need to go to the shop later for the papers but that's it, or i could wait until my eldest come home and see if my dd wants to go.

ms_night_ryder, hope your back is feeling a bit better today.

Well the food plan today is brekkie was cereal, lunch was cheese and ham on toast and dinner is stuffed chicken thighs with i don't know yet.

It's the only way I'll ever be able to clear even one freezer!!
I'm trying not to food shop more than 4 times in a week until the beginning of March at least - no need to grab multiple "whoopsies" at the moment - I'll catch up on that once a have that empty freezer.

Good luck on the "weigh in".

Lip_Stick - hope that back eases. Take care.

just trying - raining here a little, but still mild and happy with that.

madhatter 1 - I love buying reduced pate and that was a great price - well done.

No food bought, but did buy 10 rolls of wrapping paper from Sainsbury's (clearing at 20p per 4m roll) and a Xmas cup for 25p from £2.50.
I've been using cash of late to get change for "sealed pot challenge". lol

Skipped breakfast (apart from some chocolate to keep my strength up ) and had the soup and some Vienetta and oping to finish that in the next day or two to create another space.
Just snacking later and getting rid of crackers, cheese and dips.

I'm thinking of using a small beef joint for Thursday. I want more than 1 empty freezer drawer by the end of January.

Thanks just trying feeling no better, got a heat pad on and took 2 pain killers.

On a good note, bumped into my neighbor while walking home from getting the heat pads, he owns the local fancy butchers, he was carrying a venison and red wine pie, he gave me it bless him, its a shame I didn't see him 1st as I took out 2 gammon steaks with pineapple salsa out for dinner, will have the pie tomorrow.

Not much spent today, just heat pads and mini muffins that were half price to cheer myself up.

I'd love to join in here. But I may not be able to keep up with the thread I've a huge chest freezer that is murder to find anything in and I hope to empty it in prep for purchasing a new upright freezer. It's full of all the stuff that no one bothers eating lol!

This eve for dinner, amongst me, OH and 3 x kids we've used up an aunt Bessie's toad in the hole, 2 sausages that were left in a pack, the ends of a pack of smart price chips, some extra special chips (not that great actually) 2 potato stars, 3 mini waffles a smart price pizza and a birds eye chicken Kiev.

The freezer is still almost full I've a long way to go

I am also guilty of having full cupboards (tins, packets) but not actually eating what is in there! I want to try to whittle that down too as I have a unit at the back of my kitchen that I could get rid of if there was cupboard space for things like dishes and pots and pans
