Have finally made a list of everything in my large freezer :T It needs defrosting so good time to start eating our way through it. Will try doing meal plans for the next couple of weeks and that should help get us back on target with the groceries. Popped into the supermarket on Good Friday for a couple of bits and came out with a trolley full
Easter has been lovely with lots of time spent with family and friends, little ones have finally recovered from all their bugs so got lots of sleep too. Was hoping to get my potatoes planted today but has rained all day. Did manage to get the vegetable patch dug on Friday but didn't collect the potatoes from my Dad until Saturday so couldn't plant them. The rain is good for the weedkiller we put on the grass as it needed to be washed in.
Hope everyone has had a lovely Easter

I have very recently done this and emptied (and rehomed) my big freezer. I must admit, it has saved loads, as I haven't done a 'big' shop for ages. I am still ploughing my way through the stores in fact, as the freezer bit of the fridge freezer is still stuffed full :eek:

Oh I took out a plastic container and am currently playing "guess the contents as it defrosts" ... There are a lot of plastic containers. This game could go on for a few weeks!!!

I did that recently thinking I had a veggie chill to put into wraps Mexican style, only to find it was a lentil curry thing! Must get better labels

I love freezer surprise and play it often, much to husbands disgust he even bought me a sharpie for xmas

Best one was what it *thought* was spag bol, cooked the pasta and garlic bread, put it in microwave and it was beef stew... was interesting, kids loved it and didnt appear to notice?! :rotfl:

It's called 'fusion cooking'

Sadly the only home cooking in my freezer is the little ones stuff, so no freezer surprise for me :rotfl:

Hurdler hope you ended up with a nice dinner last night

April OP of £500 made today, £300 for this month and £200 for May so that I get a letter showing me how long I have to go on the 2nd part of my mortgage. I miss those letters, haven't had one since January :rotfl:

TwinnyD

Letter arrived, now 10 years 11 months on the 2nd part of our mortgage. 1st part was at 11 years 1 month in January so pleased with how well we've done. Original mortgage end date was 2031 and is now 2023 which sounds so much better and isn't too far away from my MF target date of September 2020
Struggling a bit this month with little ones and lack of job security for OH. All this rain isn't helping, lets hope for some sunshine to lift my spirits soon :cool:
