    Meg72 - I eat less now I am older.
    Spend of £2 today.
    We had burgers + HM wedges + barbecue baked beans for dinner
    The burgers were brought home by Mr F - not my favourite food but there are 3 more packs in the freezer. Too thrifty to throw them out.

    That looks fabulous I love to see the pics and see what other peeps are having. one thing strikes me though and that is my portions are so much smaller, its not that I am mean but I find as I have got older I cant eat big portions like I used to, I suppose its because I am not so active now.has anyone else found this?

    Lol Meg it's because we're all greedy gannets in our house but in our defence we don't usually snack between meals ;) x

  • Well splashed out and got 2 tubs of chilli beet root from MrA .... It is so yum .... But so not me at £1.50 for 2 :eek:

    I was having a proper lazy afternoon so while at my mams they were cutting some chips up for the actifry so I said that they should try cooking the skins .... Yum !!!

    So instead of gammon and chips it was potato skins and chips for dinner for us .... Think I'm gonna make it a rule if they do chips they need to send the cooked skins down ;)
