I'm eating out of the freezer and cupboards challenge

Lip_Stick

Morning all. There's a bit of snow, not too much, thank goodness!

Probably will have soup for dinner. Thinking of having savoury mince for tea tonight instead of meatballs. Will buy chips or wedges of some sort, and onion rings today but not a lot else. Freezer has a lot of space at the mo.

We are currently having neighbour issues, someone in our block of flats is putting non recycling rubbish in recycling bins which means our bins haven't been collected since 22nd December. We just went out to move out bin and surprise, a black bag in each one. I've flipped, last week they put used condoms, tampons, mouldy food in mine! :mad:

I hate that, it's so damn lazy and thoughtless. Annoys me when people use the recycling bin for regular stuff, as the blue bin gets filled quicker, so why someone would want to add to it, I don't know.

Once I'd put a load of old clothes in a carrier bag and put it in the recycling bin. When I came back from work the clothes had all been emptied on to the payment beside the bin and were completely soaked. I noticed that a neighbour had used my carrier bags for his own rubbish! Cheeky get! Really annoyed me that! :mad:

Morning

Lots being used up chicken breast cheese, sausage,onions,bubble and squeak,turkey steaks....not on one day over 2 days and DS came over for food.So gaps appearing at long last in chest freezer.

Yikes sound like lots of you having neighbour and refuse issues sorry to hear that.We are so lucky have lovely neighbours who fetch our bins in if we are out or not up aftre collection.

Dinner will be sausage, mash and sweetcorn

Off for a walk to ease the back as still playing me up.

Morning all, no real snow here apart from a teeny weeny dusting. The air looks cold and possibly snow around lunch time!!

re neighbours - we are lucky and live in a cul-de-sac with great neighbours who help each other out, look after houses and mail when on holiday and even give each other the codes for the alarms. Brother lives in a flat (block of 6) and has similar problems as outlined. We do his bins and the recycling ones are just full of cr4p!!

Porridge soon, burgers out for lunch (with onions).
I need bread, so Asda on the way home. Off to Aldi and I'll buy the veg I need there and maybe sugar.
Pork casserole tomorrow or Thursday and stir fry sorted. Hubby can have some Linda Mc prawns and I'll have Sainsbury's proper prawns - both done in garlic oil.

Welsh Poppy - hope that back eases.

Catch up later, stay warm.

Morning all! Gosh this thread is really fast moving at the moment! Have managed to catch up and am really sorry for those of you with neighbour problems. Our neighbours are lovely, we are lucky.

I always drink tap water - I find that the stuff round here is lovely. I sometimes buy bottled fizzy water, but not too often.

Got an Ocado order coming at 5 - cost £100:eek: but should last us for the whole month easily, and I stocked up on the half price Bold.

I was watching a TV programme yesterday on the food network and it was called "Hungry Girl" - she makes diet food and she made these onion rings which looked lovely!! She cut an onion into rings and then made a coating out of All Bran and Weetabix whizzed in a processor with seasoning and then she dipped each ring into beaten egg and then dipped into the coating and put them onto a lined non stick oven tray. She then sprayed them with a bit of spray oil and baked for about 20 minutes on medium. They looked lovely so I think I might try and make them tonight - bet they turn out nothing like the ones she made!!

I am considering buying the £29.99 halogen oven from Aldi but I am not sure. I really need to stop using my main oven so much - it is costing me a fortune!! I will also get some of their Supersix avocados if I go.

Lunch today will be tomatoes on toast - I bought some of the melli mello (think that's what they are called) heritage tomatoes in Tesco and they are just lovely. I LOVE tomatoes!! Dinner will be chicken, hm on rings and salad, maybe with a bit of hm coleslaw.

No snow here today just rain - It is pouring down!!

Lynsey - what are the Linda McCartney prawns?

Lip_stick - I love savoury mince but no-one else does so I hardly ever make it!! I just fancy some now!!

Will try and get my report for work finished today - it is my own fault that it isn't done because I am a terrible procrastinator!!

Seems like most in flats have issues - problem here seems to be made worse by most being BTL places with a constant turnover of short term tenants who really couldn't care less about anything!

Teeny bit of snow, it's on the cars but hardly anything, disappointed!
Think still due rain later

Banana for breakfast.

Putting bread on in a bit for lunch, need to make something to go with it, will either defrost a hm soup or make a bean dip.

Definitely the last of the stilton/rocket pasta tonight.

Info HERE

Got the heavily reduced from Tesco (60p'ish), hubby doesn't mind them, Son hated them (he's veggie) as they taste like prawns.

Onions rings sound nice.

Lynsey my veggie mother won't buy Linda McCartney stuff as says too much like meat and has Quorn instead. Before low carb I used to love the Quorn Southern fried burgers.

People in my road don't seem to recycle much but seem not to chuck landfill in recycling bins as council will refuse to empty the bins if they do. Our town actually came top in the county for recycling :::::::faints:::::::::::

OH home, working on presentation for interview so got eggs and black pud for breakfast.

Dinner will be pheasant from freezer (offer) as we ended up having lamb chops before.

That's the thing all my neighbours are nice aside from the one above, my neighbours give me discounts and freebies, always helps me if I need it, have kicked my door in when my cousin locked me out etc, so nice, but It's this mental health woman, she seriously ruins the harmony, complaint has been logged.

Jane I sympathise, I am a huge procrastinator.

Just had the last of the pasta, couldn't be assed with porridge, have some web reviews to complete

A bit of snow here this morning but not too much - would have liked more! The kids made a snowman before school because it started to rain and they wouldn't have been able to later although there is still some on the ground. I wish it would snow more please!

Just had a reduced ceaser salad (10p) with left over chicken for lunch. Didn't have baguette as there were loads of little croutons in for crunch so didn't need it. It was lovely and I fancy a proper hot meal tonight so didn't want a salad then.

Got out 500g lean steak mince to make a hot chilli with loads of veg for dinner. Have some baguette with that. mmmm. Perfect day for a chilli!

The boys have footy and have hot lunches at school so they may have beans on toast for tea.

NSD today so far - planning for it to stay that way .

Nipped to shops on the way home and bought some lattice chips, onion rings and fresh coriander for salmon tomorrow. Also bought a taco set for a quid. Spent about a tenner tho on the food andon bits for the kitchen like garlic press and cookie cutters.

Treat myself to a bacon and tomato sandwich from a local cafe on the way home for brunch.

Certainly snowing a bit more now, but can't see it laying at the mo, maybe will overnight if it continues.

What's a procrastinator? I'd look it up but can't be bothered. :whistle:

Jane - will be serving it with mash... so I... I mean ds, can mix it all up with the mince. Yummmm..... so he says.

ms_night_ryder - hows the back, any better?

Edit - Just realised I needed dill, not coriander! Arghhhhhh Daft mare!
