lunch: tomato/avocade roll with organic apple
dinner: am making a cake to take to friends house tommorow eve so by the time I have eaten the cake mix while making (may as well be honest about it!) I will probs not be very hungry!
Forgot to say, Breakfast: Very Nice toast made with fancy wholemeal bread courtesy of my flatmate, who refuses to eat anything after the use by date advertised on the packaging (silly girl!) so I regularly get all her leftovers!I've made my debts bite-size too depressing to look at all at once so am handling them one at a time - first up Graduate Loan £1720 paid off! only £280 to go!!!

dinner tonight: chicken breast stuffed with cheese& wrapped in bacon, new potatoes carrots & green beans. Pudding, Plum crumble & custard. Any ideas what to do with the rest of a 4lb tin of plums gratefully received.
Dp works as delivery driver for big catering suppliers. We get things like tinned fruit for between 30-50p for a huge tin, when they get a dent in them. I now have a freezer full of half tins of fruit!0 -
Slipped off the wagon last night & had a takeaway curry. The plan was dh would be in before me to cook dinner, but he got stuck in traffic, so it was well after 8 by the time we both got home.
The sirloin steak intended for last night will be tonights dinner instead (with HM chips - yum). Got half a pot of cream to use up too, so might do a creamy pepper sauce to go with it. No pud after that little calorie fest!
So far today I've had a Quaker Chewee bar & a muller vitality for breakfast at about 6.15 & that's it. Just realised I'm starving! Tha canteen here is rubbish & I'm going home in about an hour, so I'll probably wait & have something when I get home.0 -
I have to do something to use up a smoked sausage that has been sitting in the fridge, I have some leeks that are looking sorry for themselves too so I'll use them up.
Last nights tea was broccoli and watercress soup with crusty bread, followed by chicken and mushroom pasta with a green salad made of lollo rosso and iceberg lettuce, rocket and alfalfa sprouts with a lime juice dressing.
Not bad for using up some rather tired veggies and a couple of odd chicken breastsOrganised people are just too lazy to look for things

I had a portion of HM Butternut squash & Tomato soup from the freezer, with HM granary bread, and DS had egg, beans and granary toast tonight as neither of us felt up to eating much and he's off to his dad's shortly, so no doubt will get something to eat later if he's hungry. The poor little mite's got a broken finger so he's at the hossie tomorrow for a check-up."An Ye Harm None, Do What Ye Will"
