Sorry not familiar with this food slicer, but thought all decent ones included a reliable safe guard and really wouldn't be without my Kenwood slicer, saves me loads of money and helps the waistline. helps my Arthy joints etc.

i would still worry andrew james as a safety cut off thing but i am the world worst i would still cut my fingers

£25.04 in Mr T's - not bad for our weekly shop!

I need to pop to Mr S to get some wraps and hummous for tonights dinner - very boring - burgers with hummous and salad (diced cucumber/tomato) in wraps.

Boring? Yummy, what a great idea! So [STRIKE]stealing[/STRIKE] borrowing that idea for lunch at some point!

Couple of spends, dangerously close to the end of the budget and still Christmas bits to buy!!

£10.63 in the evil empire
£6.86 in Waitrose

Surely there must be enough in my freezer and cupboards etc to not have to do any more food shopping except for Christmas stuff. I need to pull my finger out and get the rest of the meals planned....naughty naughty girl!! :eek:

I have a really busy weekend with lots of college work, a Christmas party and an interview to prepare for so DH has offered to do the food shop tomorrow as he has taken a day off to use up his holidays. This will be the first time he has ever done a weeks shop on his own and I will send him with a list but I am :eek:at just how much he may spend without thinking about it.:eek:

Well he went and only spent £40.70 including everything on the list plus a poinsettia, a Christmas stocking for the dog, a 6 pack of gluten free crisps in a new flavour for me and a bottle of wine or him and a pineapple! He did better than I ever do.:T Where I put own brand he bought value tea bags and rice crispies and value bread. Only problem is the own brand cereals are GF and the value are not so DH and DS will have to eat them instead of me:(

I think DH enjoyed his first attempt at the weekly shop. I hate to tell him he has got himself a new job:rotfl:

I will check the exact amount on DH Mr T receipt but it is about £37 and I also have my veg box and organic milk at about £15 to add.

Haha! Hope you like! I say 'boring', because it seems to be a staple can't be a**d meal I do when I'm lazy. Tastes good though so hey ho!

On that note £1.75 was spent at Mr S on wraps and hummous today (because they were too expensive in Mr W yesterday!)

Well, due to ongoing bread shortage at our house, OH spent £2 on some soup and bread at lunch. I defrosted some soup that I made last weekend and had some stale french stick to dunk! :A

Big shop again tomorrow, hoping to bring it all in for about £45 :eek:
