    Awwww, my mum popped in earlier, bought a wee xmas stocking for kit, and 3 packs of casserole steak that she'd picked up from work - so that, along with the deconstructed turkey (incl 2 portions of marinading kebab using The Takeaway Secret recepie for OH) means our freezer is stuffed to bursting again.

    Am going to make a concerted effort now to meal plan and make the best of what we have. Should mean only needing to buy a few jars and fruit / veg as needed. New Year new challenge!

    I'm with you on that one I got loads of meat reduced on Christmas eve, and my freezer & cupboards are fully stocked so I'm going to make the effort to eat what we have in before buying more.

  • Just realised I've beaten my target of 15 :D so I'm going to see if I can't make 18 NSDs before the year is through. :)

  • No 17 today please

    Bit annoyed as opened my crumpets this morning and thought "errr that doesn't feel right" as the 1st one was rock hard ..... on further investigation there's a tear in the pack and they've gone stale:(

    Not worth the cost of fuel to take them back to the shop .... but now crumpetless :eek: (huge issue in this house:o)

    Ooer, somehow managed to unsubscribe from this thread and couldn't get back to it, but have made it :T

    Rising, sorry to hear about your crumpets, that's disappointing, I'd complain, just keep the packet with the tear in it and take back when you next go shopping.
