    I also noticed in Marks today that they have a £6 meal deal which was a starter, main and dessert. I thought this might be better for anyone sitting on an Asda £3 wine lake or the fortunate few with Tesco mystery wine boxes :)

    In theory if yours is a SS store you could get to £25 with three of these six pound deals, use a GR - so £13 for three meals with 9 items

    There was only a few things left in the fridge in my little store - does anyone have a full list?

    There seemed to be croquettes but possibly also potato gratin and baked potatoes for starters - this does not make sense - 3 potato starters.
    Desserts - I saw a big trifle - this would stretch to feed 3 or even 4 small appetites - also a big apple lattice pie, again for 3 or 4. Also 3 mini choc mousses - no idea why three. That might have been the full selection.
    Mains - I saw moussaka which would def feed 3, also salmon en croute - good value mains, also saves a lot of work if you are short of time for cooking from scratch. There also seemed to be at least 2 chicken dishes, one curried and one cheese and ham - not sure of this as only one of each item in the fridge.
    None of these mains really go with potato starters though??
    In which case if there was 4 mains, there should have been 4 puds and 4 desserts.

    Mind you this fridge could have been just abandoned things ...

    Huge hugs to Strewth, Tinyshoes and Snap's neighbour.

    Looking for some culinary inspiration please. We had roast chicken for lunch today and usually have it cold with chips or fried potatoes and salad the next day, but I fancy doing something different with it tomorrow. Trouble is, I have no idea what! Any ideas please?

    Those that know me - know 1 year ago today my next door neighbour was beaten to a pulp by her partner
    Last night it happened again (it's his Birthday) :(
    This time she called the Police herself & has had him charged with numerous common assaults & a few other things ;)

    Hopefully she has let him go at last. Finally realising she is a better person

    Fingers crossed for her ♥

    Gosh that's so awful. I hope her family and friends stick by her and keep an eye on her.

    Having worked in the Domest Violence Unit I know how "mentally scarred" some women (or even men) end
    up. They think their life is incomplete without the perpetrator and end up going back to them repeatedly even though the physical and mental harm gets worse. Your neighbour will need a lot of support. Hopefully she has a close knit circle of friends and family that will assist her.

    Other than charging the perpetrator, the Police won't be much help. They might give you some telephone numbers. Please please please contact the Domestic Violence Team / Unit at your local Council, or even an organisation like Women's Aid or Women's Space (try googling that for your area). They will be able to help her out, support her via a Sanctuary scheme (they put more locks on doors and windows / place a panic alarm in her house in case the perpetrator returns), and even send an IDVA (independent domestic violence advocate) who will go to sentencings and court cases with her (if it goes as far as that).

    I can understand (well not understand but you know what I mean) why he beat her up if it was his birthday. It's said that alcohol is the biggest cause of domestic violence. That and when the national football team lose a game, the wife/partner/girlfriend normally gets a good beating because of it.

    Good luck to her and lots of hugs to you. :A:A:A

    Good evening :)

    Managed to get to As, forgot my lists :mad:......remembered everything on the lists anyway :D

    Did my good deed for the day. Spotted a lost looking elderly gent standing by his car in As car park with the bonnet up and holding a set of jump leads, bless him. I won't tell you how many people just drove past him :mad:
    My battery is next to the drivers seat, so didn't even need to get out of the car :D 2 minutes later, car started and he was on his way :T:T
