    Ds is with his dad today so I'm just cooking for myself. For dinner I think HM soup with veg stock, thyme, garlic, carrot, onion, red pepper and lentils. I find lentils really filling. Will add a bit of cooking bacon too. Last time I made it it was delish. Tonight I'll have pasta with tuna and pesto I reckon. The pesto has a touch of chilli in it so ds doesn't like it much.

    I'm heading out to Tesco later to pick up a couple of ds' xmas pressies which I got for half price. I doubt I'll be tempted by much food in there as I think they're expensive. Got bleeding headache tho which I've had for a few days so might head up there tomorrow instead.
    There's a storm coming, Mr Johnson. You and your friends better batten down the hatches, because when it hits, you're all gonna wonder how you ever thought you could live so large and leave so little for the rest of us.

    Breakfast was belvita bars from the snack cupboard.

    Lunch was toast with some eggs that need eating.

    Dinner is fishcakes for me, Gammon for OH with chips and beans (and maybe eggs too for OH) all from the fridge/freezer.

    Need milk tonight though so will be braving sainsburys. Also got a free pizza voucher so will get one of them, and need some snacky foods for OH. will see how i get on.....

    Peanut butter on toast for breakfast for me today.

    Penne bolognaise pot for lunch with fruit salad. OH can have the gammon he was supposed to have yesterday tonight for dinner. I'll have a search in the freezer for something for me. Not sure what i fancy at the moment. Maybe just a jacket potato with tuna,sweetcorn and cheese.....yum yum yum !

    Morning all.

    Took some teacakes out for breakfast (toasted) and pork to finish off later.
    Might have one of those free Goodfella's pizza's later with some wedgers.

    Spent 50p on a packet of baking potatoes yesterday in ASDA when picking up my free pizza's - spending well on track, but need milk today.
