    I seem to empty a shelf in the freezer and fill it within days...think I have problem with seeing gaps :rotfl:

    Mine is full yet again, mainly due to fact I'm also trying to use up ingredients from cupboards which are out of date...I make something like carrot cake to use stuff up but then end up slicing and freezing it!

    Went shopping yesterday and spent £8 on fresh foods that will all be used this week. I've meal planned and all main meals are coming from freezer!

    Out this week -

    5 bread buns
    1 wrap
    1 portion meatballs
    1 pork steak
    1 portion mash
    1 basa fillet
    1 portion sausage simmer
    1 portion honey chicken
    1 breaded fish
    1 portion chips
    1 portion chicken curry
    1 naan bread
    3 slices fruit cake

    By this time next week I might have enough room to fit a magnum in the freezer :rotfl:

    Then again I already have a list of things to make so no doubt I'll need the gap for something else!
