Ooh god, that's reminded me of drinking a whole (small) bottle of Southern Comfort when I was about 17.. blaaah I was so ill.. especially when my mate decided that I needed to eat to soak up the alcohol and fed me veg stir fry... couldn't touch Southern Comfort or baby sweetcorn for years...

LOL :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

I had a night on Southern Comfort at my sister's house a few years ago, and became Lara Croft (I'd been playing Tomraider for several days). I was firing foam bullets from my nephews christmas pellet gun and doing side-rolls, plus at one point I was hiding behind an upturned sofa dodging my enemies bullets. Was very poorly the next day and have not touched the stuff since.

Well done bobble! :T

Right I bought some scales (£2.99 in Home Bargains.. went a bit mad in there and the pound shop, mind you I shouldn't need to buy washing up liquid, shower gel or toothbrushes for about six months now ) and I'm a few pounds lighter than last time I weighed myself about a month ago, but not reading too much into that as obviously different scales. Be interesting to see what happens as I train more though...

That was well done for the running btw, not the Southern Comfort induced Lara Croft metamorphosis.. though that is quite impressive too :rotfl:

I'm probably being really thick here but whats MBing?

OK, you did ask.. just been shopping, evil Tesco land was half price heaven today Hoping this lot will last me nearly a fortnight (am at parents' for three days next weekend which will help!) with only a few extra bits of fruit, veg, etc. Breakfast is pretty much always toast as I can't face much else in the morning. So here's what I bought today and roughly what I plan to do with it, obviously all the meals involve adding pasta/ potatoes/ rice/ couscous (have last two in cupboard already) and veg or salad to the meat/ fish/ eggs, will also have some meals which involve just pasta/rice/potatoes/cousous with veg and cheese - currently love just roasting potatoes and a load of veg with garlic and spices, chuck some cheese in for the last few mins till it melts then mix it all up.. yum...

4 chicken thighs, British organic - reduced - £1.45 (4 meals, possibly more if I make some into curry or casserole)
1 pork chop, British organic - reduced - 76p (1 meal)
6 eggs - 54p (3 meals)
3 tins sardines - £1.05 (3 meals)
1 quiche - £1.00 (3-4 meals with salad)
400g Cathedral City cheddar - half price - £1.53 (should last 2 weeks, probably won't )
Large tub light soft cheese - 57p (use in creamy pasta sauce, on toast, on home made scones, probably last a week)
3kg pasta - £1.00 (I don't know where the hell I'm going to put this :rotfl:should last all month I reckon)
Olive oil - £1.05
Milk - 35p (don't use much of this, just in coffee and scrambled eggs/ omelettes, probably need some more next week)
4 value yoghurts - 29p (usually afternoon snack at work or dessert, will need another pack next week)
Butter - 53p
2 onions - 24p
750g organic potatoes - 95p
2 packs cherry tomatoes - reduced - 98p (will have some in salads over next couple of days and rest will be made into pasta sauce and frozen before they go off)
Pack of radishes - 28p (for salads)
Fennel - 60p (dunno what I'm going to do with this yet, but love it)
3 peppers - £1.29
2 garlic - 40p
Lemon - 19p
Lime - 15p
9 bananas - 76p (have one most days, will need to get some more towards end of the fortnight)
8 apples - 89p (as above)
Fresh rosemary - 55p (cos it was reduced and I had voucher for extra points on herbs)
Bread - 28p
Bottle of Calloway Sauvignon/ Shiraz/ Something like that - reduced - £3.49 (will be making me ramble on here later I expect! )

Total £21.17 and got 237 Clubcard points through using double/ extra points vouchers :j Nearly killed me carrying it all home though....

Hope that's of some use to someone.. the 'Feed 2 for as little as possible' thread on Old Style is good for ideas as well, I've put a few costed recipes on there.

Is it too early to open the wine...?

redsquirrel80

Forgot to add.. I do Pigsback and various online surveys and I always go for the vouchers which can be spent on food if possible (Valued Opinions does Tesco and PB does John Lewis ones which can be spent in Waitrose) - they do for a week's shopping or to stock up on all those extra bits like oils, spices etc.

I'll be quiet now.... well till the wine kicks in...
