I agree with you about the F&V boxes. I think they are expensive so as a result I use up every scrap!

Same here on the veg boxes. Although I miraculously got a Waitrose slot for Thursday morning, so have cancelled the veg box this week and am doing a vast supermarket order. And have just realised that I need to add carrots...

Curses.  As predicted I will need to go to several essential meetings in the next couple of weeks.  I have ordered some fat bigger trousers on line that come in a 29 leg, and hope they fit.  I've got a longish teal blazer that will work over black trousers so fingers crossed.  I have a long body and short legs so its hard to find trousers.
In the meantime a crash diet is essential.  Only then I found out that MrT GF shortbread is really rather nice.  Compared to other GF stuff at least.  Whoops.  I have no self control whatsoever when it comes to food that I do actually like.

If you're anything like me you'll need a wig as well... the headbands are getting wider  

You know low carb works for you, so why not try that again? (I have no self control either - and the freezer is full of ice-cream following on from the waitrose delivery...)

I've got some spray on root concealer stuff but mine isn't that bad down, tied back its awful.  Might have to buy a head band actually.  
I just ordered a fish box.  I quite like fish and its certainly better for me than a sneaky trip to the village fish and chip shop.  Its a 'whatever is best on the day' box so I might at least try something new.  
Rford are bringing watermelon so I needed pistachios (for watermelon, feta, pistachio salad), and british samphire so I needed fish but the selection in the co-op is rather dull and I only have a few bits of 'value' white fish left in the freezer which I usually use as tasteless texture to pad out fish stew.
What else can I waste money on today?

A raincoat or an umbrella if it's anything like where I live! 🌧☔🌂💧🌫

Ooh Redo, that might work with prawns

Trousers came, fit but not exactly flattering. 

Fish arrived and is superb.  We had pan fried John Dory fillets on Saturday (lovely and a new thing for me) and then a chorizo/peppers/butterbean/spinach tomato based bake with pan fried white fish on top on Sunday.  Lots more fish in the freezer, and it has ruined supermarket fish and the chippy for me.

Yesterday we had the watermelon salad.  I hadn't realised that watermelon is an IBS issue.  I know now.  Actually I may retry the trousers today without the bloat and stomach ache.

Prawns, yum @moving_forward.  Might get some of those out of the freezer for tonight actually.  The sun is shining and we had a salad box delivered this morning.

Sounds lovely Redo.
