    Hi 32b, do you mean the thick slices remain frozen for too long?

    Hiya

    It is usually still a bit frozen but I meant that the thick slice is just a bit too much bread. :D

    Hello everyone,

    I've joined in since January but have only just found March's thread for some reason.

    I'm still doing well, I sometimes have a "treat" once a week and buy something from the lovely cafe downstairs but 4 days out of 5 i bring my own lunch in to work.

    Today I have Spaghetti with Wholemeal Toast.

    Hi all

    I had pasta today in a tomato sauce - left over from Friday's lunch which was left over from Thursday's tea time where I made extra, but I made too much extra :cool:

    Tomorrow is left over roast dinner from yesterday, and then on Wednesday I might have a banana sandwich. Then I have a soup and can do pasta too.

    Also, I saw that somebody in this thread made themselves jelly and I thought what a good idea so I bought some jelly cubes, but it's too cold in the kitchen to go down and make it tonight, like having a walk in freezer :rotfl:

    7/7 so far, still aiming for 20!

    rather unfortunately for me, I've just had 2 days off sick so i'll be taking £10 off my total for March. I also slipped twice last week and bought a wrap from Tesco. Going to try and be good for the next week and a half and then I'm on holiday.

    I'm still ploughing through my pasta bake. :D I'd say there's 2 portions left which takes me through to payday.

    Back to work tomorrow so I will be back to taking lunch with me :D

    Tomorrow it will be ham and cheese sandwiches with crisps, a banana and some grapes. Friday will be SW KFC Style chicken in a wholemeal roll with salad cream.

    KFC style chicken is my fav at the moment, I tend to make it too spicy though!

    Afternoon

    I go a pack of 4 sandwich boxes in the £ shop today. Because I take sandwiches to work when they are still frozen, they make the inside of my bag wet. Hopefully these boxes will stop this happening :D

    Does anyone know if you can freeze pate? You can get pate slices in Tesco, and they are just the right size for the bread :D

    Save yourself some money and take mine off my hands, please, I am soooooo bored with pate :(

    I had it twice last week and even that was too much. I caved and bought some Wensleydale on Wednesday (for some reason in real life I can't say that word without saying 'nice Wensleydale, Grommit' :o ) and then on Thursday work had lunch sent in so I had a freebie chicken and bacon layered salad :T

    I'm off to the shops in a bit but just need to buy crumpets (for breakfasts) and some crisps then I'll buy bread on Monday morning and try to make the Wensleydale last all week :)
