This is a fatal thing you have posted here PN!! I am just about to go on my errands and Home Bargains is on my list..... I predict that a few packs of choccie fingers are going to be bought. I have little willpower as well so a lot may be eaten :rotfl:

I hope you found them. Blue bag, always on the bottom shelf of the biscuit aisle in my local one..... always 79p.

Here's an image I found online where somebody'd posted them.

Evening all:j
Have been feeling a bit bleurgh this week, so not had much of an appetite. Cooked a Morrisons veggie pizza last night, n just had a 1/4 of it:o
I'm the same with deciding what to watch on Prime n Netflix , too much choice lol

Good evening everyone,
Sorry you're feeling bleurgh CG <<hug>>
Hope the essays are going well SG and you're not feeling too under P:).

There's no Home Bargains near me but I used to use one near the office. I always seemed to pop in for a couple of bits and come out laden:o, so probably just as well it's now out of range;).
I got all the groceries that I'd ordered, it's good to have the veg stocks replenished as they had got a bit low. Why I ordered eggs I don't know:o as I now have rather a lot of them but they have a long date and will get used up! I bought a cauli and fancy doing something different than my usual curry/soup/cheese with some of it, I'm thinking of a spiced roasted "steak" to go with a (pre-made veggie burger) or marinating in yoghurt, lemon & tandoori spice.

I need to have a think tomorrow about meals next week though plan to keep it simple for a few days until I'm steadier. Inspired by Farway's roast lamb I might get 1/2 a leg out of the freezer and do something with that, making sure there's plenty for having cold:D.
After a very mild few days it has turned rather chilly tonight, I'm glad I got the stove set up earlier and it's now burning away merrily.:)
Lunch was a ciabatta roll with the end of a tub of pate, coleslaw and tomatoes. I hadn't had any breakfast and felt peckish late afternoon so had a cupasoup and an apple. Keeping it easy again tonight with breaded pollock, potato waffles, peas, green beans & spinach.

Cold & misty start for the day, hope your drive to work on those winding roads was not badly affected brambling

Heavy fog here this morning when did it become the norm for people not to use their lights in fog :huh: although by lunchtime it had cleared to a nice day

I've never been to Home Bargains :eek: I had to check and there's not many around here it seems the nearest one is about 10 miles away, perhaps it's just as well

Hope you feel better tomorrow Candy <<hugs>>. Did you manage to sort your gas fire?

Caronc I love roasted cauliflower sliced and sprinkled with cumin and ground coriander . I brought one yesterday to make cauliflower cheese to go with some gammon for Sunday I may roast some of it one night as well although the idea of doing tandoori cauliflower is appealing and i have all the necessary ingredients :think: The gammon stock will then be used to make pea and ham soup for lunches next week

Unusually for me I had a sandwich for lunch, ham, Swiss cheese and spinach with Dijon mustard, it was from a small loaf I picked up YS and perhaps I should have had two, in comparison to my usual bowl of HM soup wasn't very filling and even after a bowl of melon and pineapple i was hungry by 4pm. The melon and pineapple were both bigger than I thought so my sister will benefit tomorrow or I will be eating it all weekend

Dinner was stirfry with noodles and some frying steak I found in the freezer

PN man can not live on chocolate fingers alone

Evening to everyone. A fruitful day essay writing although I didn't get any soup made in the end. Tomorrow's another day though.

Caron So glad you're feeling a bit brighter, hopefully the donkey has had its last wonk for now.

Faraway It was me who recommended the Lidl black cherry jam. Be careful though as its very moreish

Candy Hope you feel better soon too.

Brambling I'm never filled up with a sandwich either but am by soup. Strange. Must be the fibre :rotfl:

PN I got the chocolate fingers and ate half a pack over the afternoon and evening. As well as my lunch and dinner I knew it could be dangerous.

Good morning everyone,
Chilly, damp & windy here this morning looks as though the lovely weather has gone for the time being. I'm still pretty unsteady so wasn't planning on gardening anyway. I'll be quite happy pottering about indoors.
I'm with you SG & Brambling on a sandwich not being filling enough for lunch, I like to have a small mug of HM soup or even a cupasoup with one. I find something hot seems to fill me up more. A largeish bowl of thick soup is usually enough me though I quite like some bread or crackers to dip.
Food plans are undecided at the moment, I'm going to defrost a chicken thigh and decide later what to do with it.

I'm sorry to hear your bad news ....... have a biscuit to cheer yourself up

I've nearly finished my whole bag too already.

If you return for a top up, I can thoroughly recommend a bag of sweeties too. Red bag/Walkers. They're chocolate seconds (high quality) ... and cost 99p for about 200-250 grams. They're my "favourite choccies".... which I bought when I went in for the Brown/Turners cheap bags and could only find red ones..... and the red/Walker bags are better than the Brown/Turners.

This week I got: the biscuits, 2x Turners, 1x Walkers ... but wish I'd bought 2x Walkers.

Today .... not eaten anything yet.

I hate food decisions, rubbish at them.

Cold is still there, a tickely cough as well. Bunged last bit of sweet potato and ditto carrot with chopped up potato in SC with milk & butter, that was left until I next felt up to it and then mashed up. Cooked 2 sausages and some onion so that was dinner last night. with the rest of the mash, I micro;d 2 jkts pots, cut in half and stuffed with mash, 2 for lunch tomorrow and 2 in freezer, still got some of the potato inners and mash so may have with cheese and egg tomorrow dinner. Am having Jamaican take-a-way tonight with gs, should have had Thursday but not up to it and the spices seem to help get rid of coughs n colds, well thats what I think. Good old cheese and strong onion sandwich can help a lot too (had for supper last night).

Up at daft o'clock this morning, just couldn't drop back off

Pot of tea & read a bit

Then porridge breakfast and off to volunteer gardening as the sun popped up, another time I wish I'd taken photo, sun was just an orange ball low in sky

About an hour pruning & tidying, by then it was gone 8 so went off to M's for any YS, big zero, decided to go to HB's, for compost & grow bags, and sneakily see if I could stumble on choc fingers:o

Found the former but didn't spot choc fingers, which seems just as well reading later what befell SG

Home to second breakfast:o, cheese on toast, I was starving
With a co-codamol tablet for pud

Lunch, destined to be a fried egg sarnie

Yesterday's beef casserole thing was lovely, dumplings went well with it
It's same again tonight, even though sun's out & quite warm out now
