    Used up: 3 x scones


    In: nothing


    Out: 2 x flatbread (all gone), 1 x naan bread, 2 x burgers


    chucked out: 2.5 x bags four (rice flour 0.5 bag dated 2012 and 1 bag dated 2014, wholewheat plain flour 1 bag dated 2013 no idea why I had bought these but given the dates we so long ago I decided to bin them). This should be the last things to go as I am fairly sorted with everything else.

    Hi, since my last post (1/8/18), I've focused mainly upon sorting out the cluttered fridge contents and foraging. Some of it has gone in the freezer so the drawers are getting fuller again. Not so bad however, as paid for food is one full drawer whereas unpaid for, is in another drawer 75% full.


    N.B. freezer has 4 drawers.
