    Also, I love the HM instant porridge idea with dried milk mixed with oats!!

    Will try this once I go shopping next. Might mix mine with a bit of cinnamon and nutmeg and maybe a few dried fruits.

    Has anyone noticed Chocolate Oranges for £1 in any of the supermarkets? I did a search on Mysupermarket this morning but they didn't seem to come up.

    I have been looking for these too, missed them at the Coop
    and haven't found them anywhere else.

  • Been offline for a few days due to lack of internet but nothing much to report. Managed to get some YS hummus yesterday 26p instead of £1, and a Mr T's canape set of goats cheese, redcurrant jelly and mini bruschetta. Normally wouldn't buy something like that but with my dairy intolerance seems its cows milk as can have goats cheese (so i get very excited about it!) so will be a big treat. Reduced from £2.25 - 50p (why anyone would pay £2.25 for it I have no idea!)

    Will update thread later x

    I love a soup and pudding dinner, I have a tin of tomato soup that's out of date so think I will use that tonight and tinned rice pud with peaches Might push the boat out and have a cheese toastie to dip in my soup, as theres only me and I only use half a can it will be luch tomorrow as well.

  • good afternoon all.
    Have a NSD here today. Have just made a fritatta for lunch with leftover veg n sausages and some beans. Really enjoyed it. Just trying to convince my 3 yr old I am not trying to poison her. :-)
    Feeling bit better about yesterday. Have loads of meals in freezer so going to spend afternoon planning menus to see how far they go.
    Problem I have is I don't carry cash have always used my card but with the menu plans I will create a weekly shopping list and wont go to shops anymore than that. renewed determination!!
