I'm eating out of the freezer and cupboards challenge

Tonight's dinner has changed slightly. Will be having fish pasta bake instead of fish pie as only just realised I'm getting a bit short of potatoes and don't want to have to get any more until I go shopping on Tuesday.

No freezer movements.
No dinner photo last night - I had the camera on the wrong setting so it was a blurry image.
We had Dabs with HM wedges and HM coleslaw.
Today I am making a beef casserole so we have more HM meals available in the freezer for our time without a kitchen. The utility area is almost ready to use - lovely sink/worktop and cupboards - just will only have a microwave to use for food.Decluttering Achieved - 2023 - 10,364 Decluttering - 2024 - 8,365 August - 0/45

I.... feel...hungover...
I've come to the conclusion that beer doesn't agree with me. Vodka is fine, but beer, nope.
Went shopping yesterday to Asda, Tesco and Toysrus. As you've probably guessed, it wasn't cheap. Spent about £20 in each of them, but I did buy ds undies, socks, jamas and toys. Didn't buy much in the way of food though lol.
I managed to get some ready meals from the frozen food section that had been reduced to 50p from £2. They had Hungry Joe's Burrito Bake and Asda Chosen By You, Lamb Meatballs and Cous Cous.
Going to Mam's and having piri piri chicken and salad for dinner. Tea will be something light.
Hope you've all had a good weekend all.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.0
