Just made the szechaun beef, AMAZING, kick to it too, so nice.

Today was

B - Huge fruit salad
D - Ryvita with extra light laughing cow triangles and rest of the mackerel pate with celery and carrot sticks
T - Szechuan beef and chips

Breakfast and dinner mega super free so letting myself off not doing a side salad with tea, which has peppers in anyway.

HEXA - Milk/3 triangles
HEXB - Ryvita

Syns - 2 for tea as had a double portion

It's all going to go wrong tomorrow for football, Tuesday for the funeral and next weekend but I'm not going away this summer so am having this as my week off. I will still syn Mon, Wed, Thurs and try and super speed and WI both Mondays but I'm simply not prepared not to eat and drink exactly what I like on those five days, sorry if I'm a let down

I do! It's one of the reasons I wanted to give up baking for a living. I use a rubber door mat to stand on in the kitchen, as it absorbs pressure on your feet, and through your legs.

Wish I could be as organised as you with the batch cooking - it's something I want to start doing. What do you store your portions in for the freezer? I was thinking of doing individual lasagne, but thought I'd need to buy foil dishes to do them.

I buy foil dishes and lids from eBay, works really well. I have my main meal at work now so I just take what I need from freezer night before and then empty onto plate and microwave for lunch. It took me about 4 hours to do the cooking today then a bit of tidying up and dome freezer Tetris to pack it all in.
Means I only need to cook once every 3 weeks

Poundland, B+M, home bargains etc do cheap versions of tupperware and flasks, I've got loads with soup, bolognese sauce and mushy pea curry in in the freezer...

Mrs R~Wow how lucky you are to be able to spend £100 a week on food for the two of you.
I can only afford to spend that in a month.
Yes, I do find SW expensive.
I have always found it annoying that the best offers in the supermarket are in the main on junk & that it is mostly cheaper to eat junk.
This month is especially tough as I have had a lot of extra expense so I am I tad stressed.

I'm always skint Beanie Lou, I empathise completely xx

I rinse offers when they're on, always have a freezer full of whoopsies and free value veg like the cauliflower bags from tesco and pretty much disregard use by dates for me, trusting my nose. I also ignore BB dates for both of us. I probably have potatoes longer than I've had Top Boy.

beanielou - have you got a veg market nearby? I pop into ours near closing time and they tend to sell of the veg at knocked off prices (even more so if its raining!)

yesterday for example I spent 9 and got all of the following - 2 broccolis, 2 massive sweet potatoes, bag of normal pots, bag of onions, bag of garlic bulbs, celery, mushrooms, tomatoes, greens, lettuce, baby gems, lemons, 2 bulbs of fennel, radishes, cucumbers, parsnips, leeks, cauliflower, carrots, spinach and something else I cant remember. All purely because it was closing time and they bunged everything into a "veg box".

so defo worth a go if you can find one xx

No veg stalls anywhere near me sadly bookworm.
That was a fantastic buy
