I'm going through more proper meals atm as can't bulk things out / have veg so often have something for lunch that would've been a main meal bulked out IYKWIM - so it may not last as long anyway.:(
I had you down as a blonde!:o

Was for years:rotfl:
Feel a bit better!:)
So .... have used up one of the WW RM out the freezer and .... yuk!
Honestly, couldn't eat all of it (not like me as I hate waste) - usually find these aren't too bad - you don't get a lot for the number of points in them (and can make a much nicer meal yourself for a lot less points) but handy for a lunch at the weekends if you can't be bothered to cook .... but this one ..... yuk!
Still feeling peckish(well bloomin' starving actually!) and will have to go and hunt for something else
Quite fancy a cuppa as it's a bit chilly and think I've got some Thins in the cupboards .... mmmmm cheese & ham thin
Just to add to my "naughty" day - I've put the wash (- the thermals as they shrink:eek:) in the TD :eek:. Still having damp problems upstairs & sure it's the constant washing hanging around constantly- as soon as one wash dries, another needs to be done.
Not a lot else going on - it's absolutely tipping it down outside so think I'll be snuggling down on the sofa with a book to watch the F1 shortly.:)Grocery Challenge £211/£455 (01/01-31/03)

...And I've just made a mug of tea and I'm deliberating between a mince pie and the left-over chocolate brownie I stuffed in my bag after we stopped for coffee to recover from our inaugural visit to the new Waitflower and JL at Home that's opened on the other side of town.
Poor DH I could see him starting to panic after about 45 mins so we retreated to a nice view of the river with a posh coffee but the cakes were enormous and I'm too mean to leave it - so I wrapped it in a napkin and brought it home...

*sigh* sounds heavenly:D I'd have brought it home too .... enjoy!:D
Think I may have to go for a hot choc ...... seem to be drinking an awful lot of hot drinks (not something I'm famed for - do at work during the day but not usually in the house) - still, it's cutting the dreaded fizzy pop consumption:oGrocery Challenge £211/£455 (01/01-31/03)
