On a side note......
Always leave your bottles in a crate until Thursday night at 8!
Everyone is out clapping for the nhs and won't hear the rattles.

Brilliant! I had assumed the 8pm Thursday noise was my neighbours joyfully banging saucepans together, but It is far more likely to be a mass bottle recycling din.  I am definitely doing that this week

Lunch today will be a cheese salad, with some Jersey Royals made into potato salad which is one of my favourite things. Supper tonight will be a re-run of last night - pork and mushrooms in a cider cream sauce with mash and a variety of veg, with some Tiramisu for pud. It was very nice!

Everyone's dinner plans make me hungry despite having just eaten bacon butty!! 
Also,our bottle bin is half full already and it was emptied just last week🙈 I seem to be spending shed loads of money,but fiding I have just enough food till next shop and all that cost actually is wine!!
Tonight we are having pork shoulder roast. Cannot wait. Our favourite type of roast. Steamed cabbage&roast carrot and tatties too, of course.

Same here - spending a fortune on wine, and it's not even expensive wine either. The gin seems to be rapidly evaporating as well. I guess it's a mix of not being able to go out anywhere plus if we're not going out, no one needs to be worried about having to drive either. Before lockdown I would rarely go to the pub anyway and usually when I did it would just be watch football and come home so I'd drive. I would rarely drink at home either. Deff increased my consumption many fold during lockdown. 

Yes, all of the above.. on the other hand, our personal spend went down massively,OH eats lunch at work and goes for drinks with work mates couple times a month and we go to pub once a week together.. 
OH told me last week he saved several hundreds of pounds of personal spend, he was proud, but I was like "how MUCH do you normally pish away on nothing??" 🤣🤣

For tea we are having lemon sole,new potatoes with chive and leek in some form. I have 3 of them but pretty much the only fresh veg I have now!

Our grocery budget has gone up considerably since lockdown on booze. We're not really saving anything either, i wfh normally so that's not changed, OH still needs to travel to site to work so his petrol costs haven't changed (our local petrol station just put prices up at the weekend) The main thing that has changed is OH personal spending as he can't go out to watch football. Some of my personal spending has gone down but I've just paid extra for foundation I'd have otherwise picked up at duty free earlier in the year and I'm still paying my gym class membership for online classes. I rarely go clothes shopping in the uk anyway so only saved on that due to cancellation of business travel.

OH made pasta again for dinner tonight. Sauce was open from yesterday and we both fancied it so why not repeat.

Time to go into the freezers and see what I will be cooking for Dinner tomorrow 👀 
I'm actually going to set an alarm on my phone to remind me to do this!!

We had fried rice and a bread crumbed chop.

Yesterday I did a chicken dinner, with cauliflower and broccoli cheese, cabbage, green beans, roast potatoes, stuffing, yorkshire puddings and gravy.
Today we had egg fried rice, stirfry prawns, broccoli and cashews, vege chowmein and spring rolls. It sounds a lot but it was one portion of ready to work noodles and a vacuum pack of rice between 3 of us. 
We had fruit for afters.
And I have cheese and beetroot sandwiches for my work lunch tomorrow, my absolute favourite. Whoop whoop.

Klew, my potato salad is so simple that scarcely qualifies as being a recipe - diced cooked new potatoes, finely sliced spring onion, Hellman’s mayonnaise, a pinch of salt flakes and a grind of black pepper.

Mushroom soup and toast for lunch and sausages and mash for supper because that's what HWK fancied.

Islandmaid

Chilli con carne for us tonight with cheesy nachos. Enough for work lunches too.

lunch will be mushrooms on toast.

CJ I love a potato salad too, I add a teaspoon of whole grain mustard into mine, other than that, same as yours 👍
